Renaissance-Azure D'or Side 2

 4/8 with Audiophile SQ makes for an enjoyable listening session. Giuffria(Grundman) and Renaissance were average at best. Tough call between Zuckerman/Muribus and ELP for the SQ crown. I will award the crown to ELP(1st pressing) for the great bass SQ on a rock recording. 

Since I have hit the 3 year mark of playing 1 side of every vinyl record in my collection about 150+ albums are left. About 50 are classical/baroque/organ in VG/VG+ condition all thrift store finds including another 50+ Broadway/movie scores/50’, 60’s pop that await a stylus drop. Another 15 box classical/opera sets which I have played at least half. That leaves the miscellaneous and about a dozen sealed albums. In summary it shows how long it takes to play every record even in a mid-sized collection(1800-2000). Now the difficult part deciding what goes and how many multiple copies are kept.
