Is there a coupon or discount number for DV?
Is there a coupon or discount number for Dutton Vocalion Surround Sound SACDs?

As far as I know, and at least as long as I've been buying from them...they never offer discounts in the form of a coupon or code.
I've never seen one.
Let me know if you find one.

Dutton Vocalion's pricing of £11.99 for QUAD SACDs [most especially their TWO~FERS] is among the BEST in the industry. Compare that with MoFi, AP and even AF's $30~40 list prices for a single STEREO SACD.
Seriously??? Coupons and sales are for stuff that can't sell or is way overpriced. D-V is neither!

AMEN to THAT!
And screw some of those excessive box sets which not only contain extraneous paraphernalia but are storage nightmares, as well.
Dutton Vocalion does have periodic sales which include some of their SACD releases.
With some very low prices after the discounts.
Worth keeping an eye out for.
As for coupons and codes - or storewide sales - haven't seen that yet.
But it too could happen in the future at DV. Time will tell.
Please let us know if and when a good sale happens at D/V, as I am getting ready to place a large order.
Their prices are super-reasonable in my opinion. I am happy to support them at list price as long as they keep the good material at reasonable prices coming. I am so grateful for their efforts!

Unless things change at D~V, the only sales I've encountered are on RBCDs and a few rather obscure Classical SACD titles.
You get two multichannel albums for about the same cost as shipping of a single SACD at Acoustic Sounds...I can't think of a better deal than their regular pricing at Dutton
well.. i was going to post along the lines of how much it cost to buy all those Quads on old records and tapes Vs the price of DV's SACDs..
but when i started to tot it up, it soon became obvious it would be a totally ridiculously futile exercise!
i'll give just a couple of examples why, to me, the DV Surround SACDs represent such excellent value for money:
Henry Mancini's "Symphonic Soul".
1 x CD-4 LP (imported + shipping) = £25.00
1 x Q8 (imported + shipping) = £20.00
Total spent on Symphonic Soul old Quad LP & tape = £45.00
Vs.
Half a 2-fer DV SACD + p/p = £7.25
Rick Derringer Quad 2-fer.
in order to get decent playing and decoding copies of the SQ releases of both albums I amassed 5 copies in all and the Q8s are rare and expensive so they cost a bloody bomb.. so with that in mind..
SQ LPs (x 5 incl duty & p/p) = £92.50
Q8s (incl import duty & p/p) = £97.00
Total spent on Rick Derringer old Quad records and tapes = £189.50
Vs.
1 x 2-fer SACD (incl p&p) = £13.25

You know I like to save money as much as the next guy/gal; but with DV being such a bargain comparatively; I would be tempted to "not" take advantage of big discounts if it would mean their continued health and release of quality titles. Sound crazy???
Just pretend that all D-V SACDs are $30 each, but you have a "special price" to buy them at their current sale price. Now that's a better discount than you'll get with any coupon code or sale.

I ain't Rhymin' either
You know I've just gotta say (as have been said by other members also), that ya'll are verrry unfortunate that I didn't win one of those Huge Mega Lottos. Instead of retreating to some tropical island I'd throw large sums of money at these labels/owners to get our beloved Quads heard. I'm sure there's quit a few members here that have never had the chance to experience these. As is the case in our world, money talks and bullshit... makes an old dog wanna:

Well JP, if you did win the mega million jackpot the first thing I'd do is hire a dog sitter so that cute little mongrel wouldn't have to take a dump on the rug.
