Beethoven 5th and 6th. Deutsche Grammophon . You can pick up this complete set for under $40 all day long. KILLER recordings and worth owning! Wiener philharmoniker Karl Bohm

Want to bring this thread back up. Has anyone tried this PS audio yet? I'm thinking about buying one?? I would love to start putting my records to digital and this one box looks like the easiest thing/quality recordings I've read about.

Its the winters I'm worried about COOL!

Thanks everybody! Been fighting this move for three years, but, happy wife happy life. I'll pack and move all the stereo gear and records by myself, with the movers taking care of everything else. Have a small window of time. We worked the closing here off until the 15th of Jan. Hopefully can close there about a week before that. Get moved in and ready to go before we have to get out here. Need to find electrician to run my power lines and remove one basement wall for music room before I get stereo up and running. OMG, just typing this I'm stressing. Happy Thanksgiving everybody!!

Sold our house in Ga. and waiting for an inspection to clear on the one we're buying in Reston. (fingers crossed) Look forward to meeting (in person) all you locals!

Got the Beatles mono box set today. "Rubber Soul" spinning as I type. So far, so very good.

Been listening to Ella records since I got off work this AM. Is she as close to the perfect instrument ever recorded? Sarah maybe close second? A lot alike only different range?

Not asking who you think is the best. But who do you find your playing the most when it comes to trumpet? Piano? Sax? Seems like I listen to more (way more) Lee Morgan than any other trumpet player, maybe more than any other jazz. Followed by Freddie Hubbard Wynton Marsalis Piano is not close either. I think Gene Harris rules! Gene Harris Bill Evans Horace Parlan Sax is all over the place, but seems like Wayne Shorter, Dexter Gordon and Jackie Mclean get the most play time

Blues all day for me. So Far, Howlin Wolf "Evil" The Fabulous Thunderbirds "Girls go Wild" Albert Collins "Ice Picken" Right now, Big Joe Turner & Roomful of blues Next, Doug MacLeod "Theres a time"

Ray Lamontagne "God willing and the creek don't rise" Lyle Lovett "Pontiac" Gerry Mulligan w/Jane Duboc ""paraiso"

The #1 band I want to see is Arcade Fire!!!! The best I have seen in the last two years have been Rodrigo Y gabriela (twice), Joe Bonamassa, and Dead can dance.

Jamming all night Jimmy Smith & Wes Montgomery "the dynamic duo" Gerry mulligan "what is there to say" Wynton Marsalis "black codes" bill evans trio "trio 65" Grateful dead "in the dark" Ricki lee jones "45rpm of 1st LP" Lee morgan "heres lee morgan" eric claypton "the breeze, JJ cale lp" Next up is Joe bonamassa "acoustic evening in Vienna opera house"

Thanks for the BD wishes every one! My wife is the best! I may be loosing it though. Have always loved Revolver, and white LP best of Beatles records. But have been loving the Hard Days Night LP last couple weeks. Listening to side one now. Its moved into tie for #2 favorite. I don't think anything will pass Revolver. Brent, make the drive and come hang out.

Best Bday gifts ever! Still have a bunch of back orders coming. Plus the Beatles mono set. Listening to the Gerry Mulligan quartet "what is there to say" 45rpm now. WOW what a great record

So for my 60th birthday my (way ) better half got around $2.5K of reissues. Here are a few of the must own I've listened to so far. Led Zeppeplin one the first LP. Go buy it now. She got me I II III reissues. All good , but the first LP is great. Freddie Hubbard "red clay" 45rpm Elvis 24K hits 45rpm Oscar Peterson trio "west side story" 45rpm verve reissue. I have all the verve reissues. ALL GREAT Lee Morgan "the gigolo" 45rpm "The blues and the abstract truth" impulse reissue 45rpm. run don't walk and get this if you don't have it for your jazz collection! Still haven't heard them all yet but these stand out.

Stan Getz Quartet w/Chet Baker "Quintessence" Akiko Tsuruga "Oriental Express"

Chet Baker "Round Midnight" CD (rare for me) Stunning music and recording. challenge records chr70052
