SHM Universal Japan SACDs


I have noticed the emerging catalogue of remastered SACD recordings from Universal of Japan on the Esoteric Discs web site. These discuss are quite expensive and I was wondering if any Forum member could advise me on how these discs compare with some of the other remastered recordings available from Esoteric, JVC XRCD, Analogue Productions, Mobile Fidelity etc. I mainly prefer classical and jazz recordings. Any recommendations or advice is gratefully received.

This is the first I have heard of these-would like to try the Aja-Steely Dan-does anyone know if these are surround or 2 channel and the best place to locate-I saw some on amazon---thanks
Mjcovher,
Source material is always key, isn't it? I've always assumed Cream's Wheels of Fire was recorded poorly in the studio and live so there will never be a good copy of it. (Judging by my cassette copy anyway - it's bad even for a cassette.)
So is Wheels of Fire on SACD good? I wouldn't expect it to sound any better than the CD if the source is compromised by age and lack of quality.
