How do you prepare for a record show?

I have one coming in my area within a week.

I gone through many shows. At first I just attended. Later, I had some sort of idea as to what I wanted. Later again, I had become more aware of what might be accomplished by having a strategy.

So, given my enlightened history, and taking into consideration your thoughts, how do you currently approach an upcoming show?

One thing I do is limit my spending by having a certain amount brought with me.

I do think that now, I need to narrow things down to original pressings from the UK and the like... mono vs stereo..?
I make a short list of interesting items and, "stick to it".

Any other thought?

boxer12,

Your response reminds me of what I like the least about these forums.

I only hope your way, works best for you.

Slaw, could it be you're taking this a little too seriously?  A trip to a record show isn't comparable to climbing K2.

Since boxer12 has limited posts here, I really did not know how to "take" that response.

Having said that, I do think that making a "somewhat" positive contribution to another's post is not too much to ask.

No, this isn't as serious as climbing K2, but this isn't a forum for climbers either, so that comparison isn't valid IMO.

We have expressed our opinions here in several ways that equal DEEP feelings and extensive money outlay. So, I do think that most who take music reproduced well in their homes with the above thoughts, do want to have their posts taken "somewhat" in the same vein as they tried to express.

I'm OK with boxer's post, I find it just a little concerning, (given my reasoning above), that others find some fault with me expressing my  feelings about it?
