Or, importcds (cheapest) and where I pre-ordered my copy, Amazon Japan (Most expensive) so I can get it several days earlier.


I wait till CDJapan issues coupons - then I purchase. They award bonus points on purchases and then quarterly purchase bonus points. After coupons and points. my net is most usually lower than ImportCDs....not always the case, but typically. And like you, if I got to have it quick - ImportCd is the place

Their 1975 album “Branch Point”? I assume they mean Equinox? Interesting translation. LOL!
 
the DBX records - anyone remember that format?....

Yep! I have a 24/96 rip of the DBX Nautilus LP for "Pieces Of Eight' that sounds better than any other version of that particular album I've come across so far.

I noticed that Amazon Japan does something similar, in the way of giving points, when I make a purchase.

When I want it quick, I go directly to Japan, rather than wait for a U.S. vendor to get a particular item in stock.
