    I am sure the market for an AF GH 3 will happily part with up to 6x what Walmart is charging.

    I have to say that this sounds magnificent. Go get it now. Period.

    I went ahead and pre-ordered so I'll get it June 4. Hoping the price will drop another dollar or two, simply out of principle. Pretty pumped though!

    My copy arrived today.

    I only just threw it in but "Don't Think Twice" sounds so good it stopped me dead in my tracks. Like Bob is sitting here playing it live. And it's 50 years old!

    "Lay Lady Lay" is on now - this is sublime. Wow.

    Nice work, Steve.

    I just ordered volume 2 because my record in drawings is not inspiring and this is one of my favorite albums. Count me among those who absolutely would buy a Steve-remastered volume 3.

    Are you listening SACD layer or redbook?

    Quite a few of the titles I have from AF I have also seen in the $5 bins - didn't stop me then & wouldn't stop me here either.

    Can't wait to get vol II!

    Good question. My CD player decodes SACD - or at least it says it does - but I don't have any non-hyrbid SACDs, so I can't be 100% sure.

    There isn't any indication on the front panel if you are playing the SACD layer? I looked up your player and it does SACD, so there has to be a way to get to the SACD portion of the disc.

    I say get out the manual and dig in!!

    If the "SA-CD" indicator in the lower left corner of the display lights up, then you're playing the SACD layer. If you're using the DVD-S1800 in your profile that is.

    That's probably because 7 out of the 10 tracks on the AF GH gold disc are different mixes compared to the Sony SACDs of the albums from which the songs are taken. I tend to like the remixes better, but it's nice to have the original mixes sounding as good as possible on the AF GH series so far.

    Can anyone who has received the new SACD post samples (lossless or lossy, I don't care) of a few of the tracks? Such as "Stuck Inside of Mobile" or "Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues?" That would be awesome.

    Yes, the SACD light was indeed lit! No wonder why it sounds so wonderful.

    OK - thread hijack regarding my technological incompetence is now done - thank you for your patience.

    Great mastering. Blows away the dusty Sony remaster.

    It's a shame that you got a black-and-white copy. Well, maybe it will be worth something someday. ;)

    That's not good. I did have one of my shipments on my Platinum Subscription from AF go missing. One was too many.

    Good luck.

    I'm still not sure whether the shipment is lost, or was late leaving AF in the first place.
    I'm hoping it's the latter considering they were very late charging my CC.

    My Amazon account says this CD will be released June 4. How are some Amazon orders shipping now?

    So it will arrive at people's doorsteps on the release date.

    That post got my hopes up. Just checked my account, and it hasn't shipped and also lists as being released June 4.
