| Neil Young Unplugged Import Shoff,SHM-CD is a different material (plastic) than standard CD. It has nothing to do with the mastering or encoding. The theory is that the material is clearer therefore the laser tracks better. I'm not sure if any tests have been done that confi... | |

| gold discs - doors It's listed on the Audio Fidelity site: Morrison Hotel AFZ 037If I remember correctly, the complaints were about some kind of clicks or something like that. I don't really know firsthand since I've never heard this particular version. I don't beli... | |
