    Keep an eye of Acoustic Sounds for the inevitable upcoming delays in "real time". I wish they would just say TBA until it is certain that an item is coming out. How many times was the SRV SACD box delayed?

    Do you think they will have a hires download release as well? Sounds to me SACD-obly release is very specialized.

    I think it will be a good chance. They already have a few Live concerts, and also People, Hell, and Angels. I would really like to have the SACD disc's, but I would be just as happy with the downloads.

    But remember that the SACD is hybrid, so it plays on regular CD players.

    Well, I know, but my main rig is a musical server now. I do 24/96 as often as I can.
    I do not remember the last time I listened to one of the three core Hendrix albums. I prefer to listen to the box sets, the live albums and the other EH releases. I have the highest hopes for Grundman's remasters. I am sure they will bring the best of these tapes.
    Of course, in the unfortunate case that the hires is limited to the SACDs, I will buy the physical media.

    I will need some more evidence that the Floyd releases improve on the SACDs that I already own.

    The Jimi SACD releases are a must have for me. When it eventually arrives, Ladyland will also be on the shelf.

    Looking forward to the Hendrix SACDs, but what's the deal with the shipping rates? I see if you order $90, it ships ground for free, otherwise it's a joke. $15 to ship a cd "economy"? Am I missing something? (a huge laugh for the $79 next day cost)

    To get media mail shipping rates you need to call Acoustic Sounds. Unacceptable that it isn't an option when ordering on the site but the option is available. I honestly believe this causes people to not order from Acoustic Sounds when they see the crazy shipping rates.

    Another day I was going to order "The Planets" SACD from them. Then I saw shipping rates on checkout, had a laugh and ordered from Music Direct (same discount). Not interested in calling to anyone to place a small order.

    That's an option but I believe you still have to place the order with the more expensive option. Then I would assume a credit would be issued. It just makes no sense for Acoustic Sounds to operate this way.
     
  16. I had the same initial hesitation calling in an order but the people answering the phone at Acoustic Sounds are pleasant to deal with and make it easy.

    I sure hope so, but for me it is easier to click a button to place an order.

    Even this isn't a guarantee though. My last order with them, I had to send an e-mail to them asking what happened because I included the request and my order was still sent FedEx. They promptly gave me a credit which I was glad, but I was still kind of annoyed that I couldn't outright choose that shipping option, and then had to follow up with them.

  20. Interesting.

    Is the WG Blackface identical to the Japan for Europe Harvest CD?
