This article reads like an advertisment for a CD pressing plant. Specifically, in makes the following highly contentious terms:

…allows more precise physical representation of stored bits…

…potentially better sound quality

I don't know, but bits are bits, and the vast majority of CDs in my thoroughly non-SHM collection reads without error even using burst mode in EAC, which puts into doubt the above claims that something even needs to be improved. ï¿½ (talk) 07:45, 22 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

SHM-CDs have not been a great commercial success since they were launched, and they do seem to be only made by one company rather than multiple. Maybe the article could be merged into CD. A similar article is Gold compact disc which gives a different set of advantages over standard CDs. John a s (talk) 22:14, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
