Thanks Rja and Mapman. I'm glad I posted as I learned a lot from your responses!
Neil Young Unplugged Import
"Unplugged" is one of my most favorite Neil Young CD's. I see that a Japanese 2008 reissue is available that employs SHM (Super High Material) technology. If anyone has heard this version, I would be interested in your opinion of the sound vs. the original. Also, how would you rate this encoding compared to HDCD?
