Listening to Now (In Surround) - Volume 2

[rtbluray]

The DTS CD ain't no slouch, but I've heard the difference between, say, DD and SACD of the same album before and it's astoundingly different. So I'd bet the DVD-A of this is an improved experience.
What I'd like is for them to offer a rebate...

Can you post a link to the amazon listing where you purchased this title from?

Got this after your recommendation Lute - thank you! Fantastic music and surround.

Glad to hear it, Spock. 2L have incredible surround mixes!

I'm now listening to another one of their beautiful recordings...

TrondheimSolistene: in folk style

Edvard Grieg:
Suite "From Holberg's Time" Op. 40
Two Nordic Melodies Op. 63

Yep, according to the pictures, that definitely should be the DVD-A version, so if you got the DTS-CD, I would definitely try to return it, get your money back, and purchase it again from that other seller, the one selling it used for $20

I would start with trying to get them to explain themselves in writing, using the Amazon messaging, then go from there. Then you can show that you're trying to resolve it first...

Hmmm, there's a DTS CD and DVD-Audio of this piggy? Seems the Amazon listing I ordered from was for the DVD-Audio, but I got sent the DTS CD. Should I complain? Technically they sent the wrong product, right? What would YOU do (WWYD)???

The DTS CD is rarer than the DVD-A...
Just sayin'

 

[perzon57]

I tried to order this but they would not ship to Norway.Bummer!

But is it better quality than the DVD-A? I would think not...

 

[Spock]

Great surround and sound quality on this one:

Ah now when did I say that Ryan..?

Rarity no indication of quality, absolutely..!

Just putting the info out there for any collectors (Eddy Baggy maybe?) who might have got the Toy Matinee DTS CD at lower Toy Matinee DVD-A kind of price and want to maybe make themselves a few quid profit..?

Just a thought..

Thanks for the heads up! I managed to snag a copy from Amazon.ca for $15 shipped.

What a bargain !

I paid approx $45., good catch. Enjoy.:sun

Well, since I have all windows open on my Maine rental - 2 each on north end and 2 each on south end....I guess I'm listening to the sounds of water slapping up against the rocky shoreline...in QUAD.

:banana:

Baggeh no prophet!
"When prophets trade for profit wise men go insane!"

I didn't really look. Is the DTS CD actually worth more???

If you really like this disc you might be better off keeping it, but re-order the DVDA with an explanation.Just saying.

TBH, the music is only so-so. I wish they'd do Kevin Gilbert's Shaming of the True in 5.1!

 

[fizzywiggs41]

Was listening the other day to these 2 by The Police.The SACD has 2 bonus tracks in surround.

But I think the dts cd is a bit brighter, go figure.





And the price they want on Amazon for this and many DTS CD'S !! S**T!! (out to lunch, imo)

So, which one sounds better to you Fizzle? SACD or DTS? I have the SACD only...

I thought so too that's why I sold mine.Great surround but the music, well I did give it a few spins but it never clicked for me.

But it is a DTS CD and they are fetching billionaire's pocket change on Amazon, so keep it as an investment.

The Police DTS CD is fetching more than $300.00 for example.

Both are a must, but I give the edge to the DTS CD.

I can't find a DTS CD listing for Toy Matinee to save my life this morning! Not on Amerzon or Ebay. I only own a few DTS CDs, but if I bought them they must have been at a reasonable price. But maybe the hard to find ones get pricey? It's not in my blood to gouge anybody though. I do like the music enough to keep the album in rotation. For 80's music it is rather organic and acoustic, surprisingly.
