I ordered six discs from the previous batch of releases, on December 26th, and I think they arrived in southern Maine two to three weeks later. I already don't remember exactly when they arrived. It seemed to me that it was the usual shipping time based on my prior orders.
They are all fantastic. After the first album I like the two tiles you just mentioned most of all! All the BTO's have things going on simultaneously from all four speakers, the type of quad that you just can't get from matrix!
Yes seems that way but what a cumbersome system. Having 3 discs in the package would prevent this problem.
Yes all fair points. I'd happily pay extra to have the extra disc but perhaps many wouldn't. I'm just being a bit of a grouch if I'm honest.
Yes but at higher cost!
I wonder how much of the added cost is actually something other than an extra physical disk. I mean, I'll bet the disks themselves are relatively cheap, maybe less than a buck or so to have them pressed. But what about associated costs? Do the SACD royalties get paid on a per disc basis or a per release basis? Does the publisher get paid on a per disc basis or a per title basis? How much do packaging costs increase when going from 2 to 3 disks, etc.
