crumbs 14,300 Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 I just finished my first complete listen of The Lost World in my 5.1 home theater and noticed the harp on maybe 3 occasions. Hardly a "remix issue" or "unnaturally prominent." It's exactly as Murphy and Williams intended it to sound, so that's a bizarre criticism IMHO.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 I recieved the Jurassic Park box set today, and like Mr. Breathmasks the transparent case had all but disintegrated. The teeth that hold the CD's in place have broken off for discs 1 and 4 (ironic really) the front case has broken away and there a slight scuff on CD one. If it does play correctly Music Box will have to replace it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,287 Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 That's why I prefer ordering direct from LLL instead of via Music Box. LLL wraps the sets in copious amounts of bubble wrap. Bilbo and Josh500 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Um you do like in the US really it would make any sense to order from music box BTW, all my shipments from LLL have come with broken cases in several degrees of decomposition.

It's not very deep in the plastic or anything. Mine was shrinkwrapped. And it is scratched as if was an old cd case that has gone in and out a shelf several times... With the flimsy material and this general scratching...i think it is obvious that the case come from a cheap factory. I think we pay for a more quality in the package... Really. Eliminating the 2.5 $ for each additional cd in multiple cd scores and i would be more satisfied. Just charge 14-15$ per shipments (2-3 scores maximun) and it would be more fair.

Gurkensalat 336 Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 OK, just arrived from Music Box. Box is damaged, front hinges broken off, the dents for the 1st CD dito.

I have to see it with my own eyes. Anyway, scratched cases are annoying but nothing to write home about. But BROKEN cases are more than annoying, it's a freaking nuisance, because they have to be replaced. And worst of all is when the teeth are broken and the CDs are freely floating around in the cases. When that happens, the CDs themselves are apt to show small scratches too, and that's where I draw the line. That's when I see red. 31 minutes ago, Gurkensalat said: OK, just arrived from Music Box.

LLL wraps the sets in copious amounts of bubble wrap. I've never seen a CD wrapped in so much bubble wrap as this one. Intrada uses a box with one sheet on top of the CD and I've never had a problem. This.... is quite some protection. The only box I can remember arriving with any sort of damage was MoH, and I ordered it from that place in Burbank that holds signings. I think one of the spines was cracked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gurkensalat 336 Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 I mailed Music Box about the damaged case and received this reply: Thank you for letting us know. We are very sorry to read that the box set was damaged in spite of our careful packaging. We will send you a replacement boxset with your next order. Thank you for your understanding. Happy holidays!
