The Sony version of SHM.

Hi Jan, probably getting cold in Sweden, eh/ I touched foot in Malmo once.

The Blu Spec CD's as Frank says is the quick version, best is to go to CDJapan and explore and you can get definitions, etc, or Wikipedia.

They also sell a BSCD 2 sampler with a regular CD and a BSCD 2 so you can hear the difference.

As with all of the recordings we audiophiles listen to it is really hard to say there is such a thing as a definitive format. My personal favorite are DVD Audios overall, I have many SHM CD and BSCD 2's and I think they are overall a little bit better. The cardboard mini LP's of The Beatles SHM CD's are clearly better than the 2009 RBCD's and the only difference is different plastic production.

I scour Amazon for music I like, almost 100% rock, never classical, and for the money the early 1990 releases are the best, unless there is SACD. An early $5.00 RBCD will always trump a 2000 and something remaster SHM CD, except I did just get the lot of Megadeths, SHM CD's Remastered and Remixed and they are super good.

I read your listening machine, quite impressive with your download catalog on your computer. I am trying to get comfortable with downloads but it's an added expense and I still like hard copys so I am learning.

A GREAT deal: On November 25th, The Best of The ELO (Vol. 1 & 2) on 2 Blu Spec RBCDs is being released with 40 tracks encompassing their entire catalogue ($21.00).

A NO brainer purchase for me, at least. $18.31 delivered from CDJapan with my bonus points!

Ralph,

Did you go for this release? If yes, do you have any reports yet with regard to audio quality? Sounds a great deal to me too!

It was only shipped a few days ago from CDJapan so I should probably be in receipt of it in a week or two...or three....but will comment on the SQ once I do receive it.

And yes, it was a great deal for two newly minted Blu Spec RBCDs with a full 40 tracks!
