Yes, I've got it, 1 of 1500.
I'm very happy with it, what a nice box and what a sound.

I ordered mine from Velvet Music Store in Holland (www.velvetmusic.nl) last Thursday and received it today (172,98 Euro's).

The website from 4AD shows that the box is out of stock.

Am I to understand that the box is a limited edition? I certainly hope not, but for those who can get hold if it, it's obviously selling well.

I think I'll write to Amazon.co.uk and find out what's happening.

After visiting Amazon.co.uk, I was amazed to find that they had no record of my having placed a pre-order for the boxed set. I had placed the order along with two other SACDs, which I've since received.

I therefore decided to search elsewhere and found another site that I have an account with, and which has the boxed sets in stock. What amazes me is that this particular site is affiliated with Amazon.com so I don't understand why the UK branch, for want of a better description, doesn't have them yet?

Anyway I've placed my order with the affiliate and hope to have the set in a week or so. (It is a Limited Edition, by the way, so I'm not sure what will happen when they've all sold out. Will they press more?)

Got mine from my local store (for $ 225 CDN taxes in; shhhhh!).

Love it - everything I've heard from it sounds great.

If you can't get the box, be sure to get the mini-LP sleeves while they are in print, because I think that they'll be replaced by jewel-cased redbook only versions someday.

Got my box today from JPC - very impressive presentation!
Looking forward to start listening... :)

I hoped I'd have mine by now -- it was apparently despatched on the 6th -- but no sign of it yet.

Mine is on the way... just can't wait!! Any comments about the improvements in sound? Anyone who have compared the old cd's versus sacd versions? Spiritchaser (old edition) has an awesome sound, it seems like you're listening the instruments in front of you, I can´t imagine the sacd version of it.

Hello,

I don't know DCD. Which title is good to discover and start by?

Thanks

My box arrived yesterday. The monogrammed velvet sliptop box with the Japanese mini sleeves is in a while cardboard box. The discs themselves are also in separate sleeves, like LPs.

As far as I'm concerned, the whole presenetation oozes quality and I'm sure you love it.

I intend listening to at least one of the discs tonight.
