Led Zeppelen and Dire Straits Japanese SHM CD's


Has anyone listend to the Led Zeppelen and/or Dire Straits Japenese SHM CD's? They are much more expensive then the recent non-SHM remasters (especially if you buy a complete set). Are the Japanese SHM remasters worth the price?

i have all of the led zepp shm's. i don't have the dire straits yet, but i do also have all of the steely dan shm's.
in answer to you question about the lz shm's, yes, they are worth the price. i have a good analog front end as well as a good digital front end. i found that i preferred the shm led zep over the classic vinyl re-issue lp's. i actually sold most of my classic vinyl copies because of that.
Geoffkait, try any one of the led zepp shm-cd's. as i mentioned earlier, i sold off my classic lp's because the shm-cd's were much more pleasing to listen to. i have a serious vinyl front end and a decent redbook cd player, both very revealing, so the comparison was a fair one.
