| Jazz for aficionados Keegiam, you’ve got to have me confused with someone else. I purchased my first jazz album some fifty years ago after hearing " A Love Supreme" the first time. I’ve loved jazz ever since, but did take about a thirty year break from collecting when... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, I’ll be looking at "Big Beat" ,"Mosaic" , "Moanin" and the others you mention. Thanks.Pjw81563, that Veejay 3-fer has some excellent Shorter as bandleader on it. I got it about a month or so ago and was quite pleased. I’ll look up the "In... | |

| How to go about collecting Classical Music Larry, I’m glad to hear you like the Brilliant label Mozart box set. The bidding on the 200 CD Deutsche Grammophon Mozart set went well over the $600 mark today and I really couldn’t justify bidding more on an artist I am honestly unfamiliar with ... | |
| How to go about collecting Classical Music You sure can acquire some Classical music inexpensively. I was looking to try out a CD or so of Mozart recordings as some of you suggested. So I looked on Ebay to see if anything good was available. Well, they had a brand new Brilliant records box... | |
| Luxman L-590AXII vs Pass Labs INT-60 Thanks Eric, and sorry OP about mixing up the 509 and the 590. Blame it on a sudden onset of dyslexia. Mike | |
| Luxman L-590AXII vs Pass Labs INT-60 Ryder, it’s a little off topic, but did you ever have a chance to compare the Luxmann 507 integrated to the 509?. I would have liked to have been able to afford the 509AXII, rather than the 507MKII that I did purchase, but I still sometimes wonder... | |

| Embarrassed....Audio furniture help I can see making some concessions on aesthetics to get along with your wife if you don't have a separate listening room of your own. There are a lot of big ugly speakers out there that might sound great, but make her barf at their appearance, and ... | |
| How to go about collecting Classical Music Larryi, Thanks for the list of conductors who specialize in this type of music performance. I'll check out Jordi Savall as well. He sounds interesting, especially if he's conversant with early forms of African and Middle Eastern music, another in... | |
| How to go about collecting Classical Music Larryi, although it appears to me, there is a goodly sized pool of politicians to draw from who appear to meet the basic qualifications for being castrati singers, I do see what you mean. Maybe there are classical labels that specialize in period ... |
