That’s interesting, I haven’t heard of this option before, how do you configure that? - I’m using a stereo + sub set up.
Just play sound through your TV as normal with the digital out feeding your ND555, I find for TV dramas etc having the sound coming through the TV fills the “hole in the middle” when listening to voices with the main stereo pair either side of the TV gives more weight and scale. I adjust the volume on each to taste. I might contemplate getting a Muso 2 as a soundbar for TV sound in future.
JB Hi Fi the biggest home entertainment retailer in Australia over the last six months or so have started selling the odd Hi-Res Blu-ray disc and Electric Ladyland is the latest.
Hopefully, they will be selling more Hi-Res Blu-ray discs in the future.
Thanks for the heads up. This appears to be a Japan only release and as it’s one of my all time favourite albums it’s a must-buy for me. I thought that I would add a few more items to my order to help with the shipping costs. Just curious as to which shipping option you use and do you know whether orders are subject to duty on top of the usual v.a.t.
NP.
I use DHL or FedEx, whichever is cheaper. You will pay likely VAT on your purchase through CDJ.
No import duty if under £135.
And it is very nice when you receive a bunch of Japanese CD’s ![]()
Would concur on this-packaging (tissue paper and good boxing, the evident care. V good
Thanks for that Jamie. I’ll have to get my order in.
Just about to place my order as amongst other things I really want the”Japan only” Born to Run anniversary set. I notice in the CDJapan shipment info that I might have to pay handling charges made by DHL etc. Have you had to pay these on your orders?
Cheers,
Paul.
Nope. Never seen that. I just try and keep everything below £135 per order. And rotate through my accumulated points to help with that…
Simon and Garfunkel Bridge over Troubled Water SACD from Japan, this is in a 7 inch single size sleeve.
Christmas stocking filler from my wife.
The Hi-Res Blu-ray sounds very impressive and the bonus material, especially the Bootleg LA Concert is very good.
The last of my pre-orders from the SDE Shop just arrived after being held up in the Christmas post from London to Australia.
Looking forward to listening to them over the New Year Holiday Period.
Ooh, Fine Young Cannibals is still in stock. As is Pleasuredome. Thanks for the heads-up.
It’s getting a bit annoying having interesting reissues like this sell out so quickly, so finding a couple I’m interested in that haven’t is good news indeed.
Best to get on the SDE Shop Mailing List, then you get notified of Pre-Orders of items that are coming up for sale.
I agree, the SDE Shop discs are getting so popular now and quite a few releases do now tend to sell out quickly.
Good to see that Hi-Res discs are being supported so well, lets hope it continues to get bigger and better.
Mine too. Two days earlier than I expected!
Just found a copy of Albert King - I’ll Play The Blues For You SACD
Just need to be patient until around January 20th
Read a few reviews of the SACD release of this album, meant to be a good one. Always been a favourite of mine on pretty much any media.
Got this from CD Japan, great service and quality packaging, just need to spin in later today. happy New Year. Running out of storage in the tray now, will take a break from new purchases….
