Anyone here have experience with the Denon DP-35F?

Here’s the dirty low down on VMS (Pilz Music Group/PMG)...

This said, I like the performances and the sound quality.

I purchased a large (new 100+) set @ a flea market for $20 around 2001, or so, which is how I discovered them.

Don’t mind flipping a record when listening to popular music, but prefer the play length of CD with Classical.

Per a few friends who are classical buffs I like tone poems (which explains why my favorite Who album is Quadrophenia-:)

Well, this doesn't bode well:

This series includes a substantial number of fraudulently described recordings, based exclusively on the catalog sold by the fraudster Alfred Scholz. Although fraudulently described as "digitally recorded" DDD, virtually all of the recordings are old analogue recordings made before the first digital recordings were made. Many of the releases are credited to the semi-fake Süddeutsche Philharmonie, the Philharmonia Slavonica, the fake Camerata Roman, and the fake Caspar da Salo Quartet. The names of real orchestras, like the London Symphony Orchestra, the London Festival Orchestra and the Ljubljana Radio Symphony have been falsely used on recordings not made by these orchestras. Fake/fictitious conductors include: Alberto Lizzio, Henry Adolph, Carlo Pantelli, Sven Bengtson, Vladimir Petroschoff, Loic Bertrand, Eugen Duvier, Peter Sternand others.

Did you send me the wrong link?

No, that's them...

The set I purchased have Grey covers and are dated mostly 1988.

The performances are more lively than constrained and they sound as good (or better) than the Sony Music and Musical Heritage Society CD's that I have.

There were a substantial amount of bad reviews, and they seemed centered around the mastering code rather than the actual quality. Since you have them, are you able to tell if they're AAD or ADD? Not that it really matters, but I'm just interested in knowing. 

BTW, at $20 / 100 discs, you scored pretty good there, pal. 

I just pulled a couple dozen and they are all marked (DDD), which was one of their marketing lies.

Per the WWW blurb they were mostly digitalized from analog recordings and from the sound quality I suspect that they were harvested from master and/or early generation tapes.

Considering that the recordings are said to be (in reality) of less than main orchestras I also assume that they did not pay much for the tapes.

Part of the sound quality comes from how they seem to be minimally mike’d as well.

I live in West Hollywood, CA so in the past 30 years have had local access to well stocked thrift shops/flea markets/estate-yard sales.

Also, what I was trying to get at is that if I listened to a lot of classical music on LP I would probably go for a different type of cartridge sound (different than what I prefer with popular music - which is a more fleshed out type of sound).
