Dire Straits' "Brothers In Arms" coming to SACD in May!! (1 Viewer)

[Rachael B]

Wow Phil! You sound like Mr. Science on that last post.

 

[Rachael B]

Thanks for the link Danny. I went ahead and ordered me one.

 

[Danny Tse]

No problem at all, Phil & Rachael.

However, I am sorry I left out the link to the "limited edition" of the BIA SACD. It's the same price as the regular SACD and I only realized there was a "limited edition" when I read Brian Moura's article. You can always cancel your initial order and get the "limited edition" SACD instead. Here's the link....

Rachael, that's a "mad scientist."

Danny, thanks again for the links and info. You always provide useful info so that others can decide whether they want to use it or not vs. those who just want to argue.

 

[Danny Tse]

Just the messenger here. Thanks Phil.

Michael,

Not at all. I love high-res stuff and truly hope that the record companies continue to support it and release software. What I'm saying is that there are redbook CDs that sound simply amazing (to my ears) and in some cases trump some SACDs/DVD-As that I own.

Anyone wanting to import the SACD from UK ?
Try CD-WOW who say on home page "Free Worldwide Delivery"
http://www6.cd-wow.com/detail_result...uct_code=17932
BIA SACD is £9.99 which is US$18.79
CD-WOW are an excellent company with great customer service
I live in UK so can't comment on delivery times to US etc
HTH someone ... Paul

 

[Phil A]

Paul, what would you recommend as a place in London to buy SACDs like BIA that are not available in stores here?

 

[Lee Scoggins]

I found some great albums at the Virgin store in Piccadilly.

 

[Paul Boyle]

Phil - Lee is right but even the large stores like Virgin & HMV will charge you silly amounts for SACD & DVD-A (it is not that popular over here - still seen as a niche market - expect to get stuff for £15+ which is $28US+)
Everyone I know buys online & I get alot of my SACD DVD-A & DVD stuff from "across the pond" mainly in Canada but also from the US (& Hong Kong & Australia)
HTH ... Paul

 

[Lee Scoggins]

I think the audiophile stores in England also have some hirez albums...

 

[Rachael B]

Lee, Sack-Dee's are not easy to buy in the U.K. I have this from a Brit A/V website I frequent. Selection limted, high prices...the same old rag.

Hey, does anybody know what the difference/s are between the two BIA editions???

 

[John Wes]

From what I'm reading, it's supposed to be DVD-A with a CD here...Like Shangri-La...

Most excellent if true.

 

[Danny Tse]

Lowest price found on the SACD of Dire Straits' "Brothers In Arms"....

http://www1.cd-wow.biz/detail_result...uct_code=17932

That's A$24.95 (as in Australian dollars) including worldwide shipping....roughly US$19.51 as of this post.

 

[Danny Tse]

Dire Straits' "Brothers In Arms" SACD delayed until May 23rd. DVD-A coming later in the year for the US, with possible DualDisc version....

[Lee Scoggins]

I can wait for one of my favorite albums.

 

[Danny Tse]

Received e-mail from Amazon UK....SACD of "Brothers In Arms" dispatched.

 

[John Kotches]

Danny,

I ordered through CD Wow, but I haven't received shipping confirmation yet.

Should be fun when it gets here though.

Cheers,

 

[Rachael B]

My copies, deee-Luxe and reg-lar shipped 2-day! About a week....
