If you are in the US, Eastwind Imports has the lowest prices but they have a small selection. The next best bet would probably be Elusive Disc.

Would agree with Zammo. CdJapan issues bonus points and rewards its customers with bonus coupons, as well, which can be applied to future orders. I have been ordering from them for years without a hitch.

Elusive discs price for SHM SACD's is $59.99 vs cdjapan $51.73 (at current exchange rates). In addition, you get redeemable coupons with cdjapan for orders over a set value, and if you follow the link from this site for each disc, you are supporting sa-cd.net

www.CDBANQ.com has been the best source for me. The cheapest prices and the lowest S&H, a bonus coupon system for every penny you spend with them, and customs-hassle-free deliveries every time.
For me they're significantly cheaper than cdjapan.

But cdjapan charges significantly more for shipping so the savings melt away. Also, it is easier to deal with retailers who are based in your country in case you have to send items back. I get the point about supporting this site.

At $55 per disc plus shipping I don't see how it is cheaper than CDjapan's under $52 per SHM~SACD unless their shipping is free (which I doubt)?

Their prices for these Universal JPN SACDs varies from U$D 53-something to that U$D 55. But if you take a look at their S&H, it all comes down to less than what CDJapan charges, at least for me. The more you order at once, the cheaper the shipping per disc, but if, say, you order 4 of these, which I've done, the S&H per disc is under $3 (which I think is basically unbeatable). Factor in their bonus program, which is tops, and the no-customs-hassles magic that they seem to have (for someone like me this is a major cost consideration), and it comes down to the best prices I've been able to find on the net, anywhere.

But did they offer a Buy 4 get 1 free like CDJapan offered on the SHM~SACDs? Yes, it was a Christmas promo, but the price per disc was drastically reduced. And there was NO limit to how many freebies could be procured (buy 12 get 3 free, for instance)!
