Weird. I'm still seeing it at the $66 price right now:

So am I ! Must have been a glitch in the matrix when I clicked earlier.

Looks like the price is up to $98, and it's not directly through (or shipped by) Amazon. Some "SpeedyHen" reseller, so buyers beware/take note.

I just ordered what was listed as the "Only 1 Copy Left" on Amazon with free prime delivery for this Sunday. The copy I ordered is an import and it is "shipped and sold" by Amazon. I confirmed this by applying a $20+ Discover cash-back bonus at checkout. If it's not an actual first party Amazon item then that bonus cannot be applied. I'll happily roll the dice for a brand new under $50 delivered copy of this thing. I guess I'll know in a couple of days if the gamble pays off or not.

Well played and good luck.

Yep, just bought it for that price.

I am still seeing Shipped and Sold by Amazon at $66.49.

I was going through this thread way back into 2014 and trying to find the original price of this set back then. I want to compare, even adjusted to inflation.

Another important aspect I need answers for is the 5.1 quality on the DVD within this set. Anybody has both this set and the standalone Pure Audio series Blu-Ray. Are the 5.1 streams on both identical in terms of quality?

Did the Blu-Ray contain the video content from Disc 5 in the box set?

That is not so surprising. It just means that Amazon was able to quickly secure a re-stock from their supplier. The new ones now show a ship/delivery est. of 11/25-11/26. Pretty sure mine was one of the last copies actually in the warehouse that was available for immediate Prime shipping.

I'd appreciate if somebody can address my query about the DVD vs Blu-Ray scheme they played off with this 5.1 mix.

It certainly appears to be the same mix.

It certainly appears to be the same mix.

FYI, I just received this (the box set, not the Blu-Ray) from Amazon, and was pleased to find that it was true DVD-Audio (MLP). I would love to see an Atmos mix, however...

Yeah. I don't have the Blu-ray, but the disc in the box set is absolutely a fully spec-ed out DVD-Audio disc. I have to think that if the Bu-ray was a different mix or mastering than the 2014 release there would be some mention of it on the disc label or packaging.
