Jethro Tull 5.1

ImportCD's sent my notification that it was shipped on Thursday.

[wavelength]

I thought it was noncompressed lossless.

You are combining two words that mean the same thing.

Well, sadly, I just received notification that the order I placed through ImportCDs was cancelled because the item was out of stock...back to Amazon I suppose.

Well, yep, that's what I figured. They did that to me when I ordered Fleetwood Mac Rumours SACD from them, so I didn't bother putting in an order this time. importcds can't supply the quantity of these that must have been ordered at that price.

I've already got one reserved at Best Buy. Haven't decided whether to pick it up or not at almost $150 with the sales tax, but I've got until Nov. 5 to decide.

I wouldn't be surprised if Amazon can't fill the orders anytime soon either.

[LizardKing]

On October 25th...no surprise I suppose.

They haven't cancelled mine yet and I ordered it on the 26th... Although my 26th is the 25th in the US........

They haven't shipped it yet though...

[quadstone]

It's odd it was cancelled and odd it was reported as shipped to some. It can't have shipped as it's not released until tomorrow (Nov 1) and they are still taking orders, so they can't be out of stock. I've never dealt with these guys and I'm getting nervous already.

They haven't cancelled or shipped mine either.

Their website is still showing it available for pre-order, I find it hard to believe they are asleep at the wheel by cancelling orders and still accepting pre-orders. A friend ordered on the 28th and his order is still valid. I guess we will all know for sure shortly.

I got a DHL tracking number from ImportCDs last week, it's still not showing up in their system. I also got a USPS tracking number from them today, also not showing up when I search for it. Not sure what's going on.

[Bob Squires Jr]

Hopefully mine will arrive from Amazon US tomorrow... $104.00 for mine. I wasn't gonna get one but for that I'll do it.
Not at $169.00 like others (on eBay as well) are selling it for.
I may just keep the blu-ray disc and off the rest of the set for like $50.00.
I already have a 200 Gram Classics pressing of it, I'll have the BD and I have a DVD of the quad reel, so....
I'll let everyone know after I get it.

I have the 200g pressing of the original stereo mix as well but the LP in this set will be the new Steven Wilson stereo mix (which BTW will also be on the BD at 24/96). Anyway, it will be different, so you might just want to keep it.

[von kulper]

Got mine from burningshed today. Gonna give it a spin tonight.

[JonUrban]

Great post, scratch! This should be required reading for QQ members.

THANKS!

It was on my doorstep this afternoon. Not deleivered by DHL or USPS, but by UPS. Go figure.

How much did you pay for it? Surely not that $73 price?

[quadstone]

Importcds is now reporting it "Out of Stock". My hope is fading.

[patrick1]

Hello. As of now, my $73 (plus shipping) order from ImportCds.com is still "Open." Ordered on the 27th. I'm only interested in the Blu-Ray. Will sell everything else, kit and kaboodle for $40+$5 for shipping. Stat as soon as I receive. Thanks.

[Odys]

I ordered it when it was $88.

It seems like these guys are pulling the same crap that DeepDiscount does. Advertise something very low, then when the thing hits the streets, cancel the orders because "they are no longer available". What a racket.

[quadstone]

You can't argue with the attractive price, but some of their practices seem a bit suspect. It seems inconceivable that they don't offer the same "low price guarantee" that Amazon does. That is if the price drops on a pre-order, you get the lowest price. To lock someone in seems sure to result in mass cancellations and/or ill feelings.

[patrick1]

Hello Odys. Yes, at ImportCDs.com on the 27th for $73 plus shipping- a $76.78 total. I seem to be checking my order status via my ImportCDs.com account on the hour after reading all the previous posts here in regards to cancelled orders. If they cancel it won't be the end of the world. My above offer stands to anyone here who is interested in the Non-Blu-Ray items. Thanks.

Surrounded

Lossless is a form of compression that results in an exact copy of the original file, but requires less data volume (space) than the original file required.

Non-compressed, means there is no alteration of the file during the copy process. It results in an exact copy of the original file. It does not however reduce file size.

Here is a link to the DTS-HD Master Audio white paper that describes its CODEC:

I got the link from Wikipedia.

Yea, I just went ahead with the one I had ordered at Best Buy with in-store pickup several days ago. The losers didn't even reserve the set for me so I found it on the shelf and I got the last one. It's in my car trunk right now.

Checked with FYE. They wanted $161.99 but had not ordered any in. Pretty good move on their part.

[Quadwreck]

These box sets might be very limited, the biggest store in Portland could only get two.

Did you try and get some for your store Eric?

[0tto]

the biggest store in Portland could only get two.

should be like this. not too many folks will form the line in stores to buy for such price.
at least i see that PF immersion set for $109CAD in retail obviously don't fly off shelves
