    I've got about 2,500 and ran out of 'partner acceptable' storage space a long time ago. How do you store your re-housed CDs, so you can quickly find what you want to play?

    They’re all in cd storage boxes, that would normally hold about 20, but can go to about 100 “un-jewelled”. They have a label “hole” so I put labels in. A-Z, various, etc. Then they’re all in a big bookcase. I’ll try and take a picture tomorrow if I remember.

    Got these two on Monday for 50p each




    Golden age indeed, and tempting though it is to pay someone a monthly fee to listen to their music collection, I still prefer to own them myself.

    Still, never say never eh?
    I just dropped in, to see what condition my condition was in

    T/T: Inspire Monarch, X200 tonearm, Ortofon Quintet Blue. Phono: Project Tube Box CD: Marantz CD6006 (UK Edition); Amp: Musical Fidelity A5 Integrated.
    Speakers: Zu Omen Def, REL T9i subwoofer. Cables: Atlas Equator interconnects, Atlas Hyper 3.0 speaker cables

    T'other system:

    Forget the past, it's gone. And don't worry about the future, it doesn't exist. There is only NOW.

    When I was working in Botswana in the 80's Hugh Masekela was a political exile in the capital Gaborone (apartheid was still in place).

    He used to play a set in the local pub, the Bull and Bush (really) on weekends. I made several recordings on my Sony Pro Walkman but sadly they got lost on one of my many relocations!

    Hugely underrated musician.

    no, Karajan would have been md i think. it was recorded 57//58 i think. Fricsay was the md of the Bavarian state opera. This is DG's first stereo recording of the BP.
