"Jdane, trouble is I don't know or haven't been exposed to enough classical music to know what I like or don't"
Skyscraper, streaming will open up a easy way for you to find new (to you) classical music. You can buy a used Node 2i and subscribe to Qobuz for a year. Qobuz offers a discount if you prepay for a year. After that, sell the Node and cancel the subscription. I don't mean to beat a dead horse, but streaming has opened up a whole new way for me to find classical music that would have taken many years to otherwise discover. With that knowledge, I am able to buy LP's and CD's that I actually like.
