So the surround contents is the same? I already have the earlier sacd,not buying this for just some extra stereo stuff.

Was able to sell my earlier MC SACD at a profit.
Put that toward this preorder.
Total cost for Toto IV MC: $20!

Looks like CD Japan was actually able to ship ahead of the release date to get it to The States ASAP. I never had the original release so I am psyched

 

[edisonbaggins]

Same!

I forget, do all these DHL Express deliveries from Japan require a signature? The emails from DHL have a release at delivery option link.

 

[marpow]

You should get an email from DHL with a link to request no signature needed. I got one this morning which I did,

 

[gvl_guy]

Now, who in their right mind would include two MQA discs? I mean, you can’t even hear the difference between power cords and conditioners.

I added Santana III & Let It Bleed 7” SACD editions…but I got a “deal” because I amortized shipping, right?!

 

[marpow]

My order included the entire Leon Russell mini LP MQA collection.

 

[cbmmm3]

my order includes Stevie Wonder Talking Book in............drumroll please................MQA !

 

[4-earredwonder]

My order included the entire Leon Russell mini LP MQA collection.

Hope you got them at CDJapan's newly reduced prices: about $20US per disc........I already have a couple of those Leon Russell discs on DVD~A Stereo and one on AF Stereo SACD so I only opted for his LIVE two disc MQA disc set!

I'll have you know young whippersnapper that MQA RULES and sounds even better via my morbidly expensive Shunyata Research power cords/conditioners!

 

[BillSamm1]

I wonder if a stateside importer like Popmarket will have this?

As far as I know, folks are still waiting for Santana III, which came out in October, to be available here from any of the usual importers.

Correct - which is why I gave up waiting & bundled Santana III with Toto IV.
Maybe it’s a Roman Numeral thing?!
