I recently bought a Blu-Spec Cd Classical Sampler from www.eastwindimports.com and I'm impressed with it. The CD comes with both, a standard Cd and the Blu-Spec so you can compare and hear the difference. The difference is apparent, the BS Cd sounds better. It seems more dynamic, slightly better resolution and detail. I can hear the difference on my reference system but its not so apparent on my secondary system.

So is it worth the money for slightly better sound, to me it is. I own several XRCD's and I'll probably buy a few more Blu-Spec's which are similar to the SHM-CD
