?'s regarding the pricing of Sieghart (S/M) M10
« on: March 16, 2008, 04:56:19 AM »
HMV has two listings for the Sieghart recording of M10 in the S/M version. The first one is expensive enough at 3,780 yen. But the second one says that it's a "limited edition" - whatever that means - selling for 34,200 yen! According to my converter, that would make it about $345 U.S. Is this most likely a misprint? Any explanations? I'll take my answers off the air.

The Japanese webpages don't explaing what the difference is and the listed price is outrageous. Don't bother. Simply get the SACD version.

At those prices, I can't afford either.

3,780 yen would be about 22,50 euros, which would make it an ordinary full-priced SACD here in Holland. I'm perfectly willing to pay that amount of money if the sound is as excellent as it can be on Exton!

Yeah, but for us yanks, the dollar is taking a terrible beating.

True... my girlfriend and I are actually thinking about taking our first trip to the US because of the fair rates we'd have to pay...

Houston is a beautiful place in the summertime.  With all the sweating that you'd do here, it does wonders for your skin!  Okay, we do have lots of air conditioning in our shopping malls and  restaurants.
