I'm AudioAl'sArbiterForPISHANTO.
That's why I'd be checking the records out first, before bidding - and I mean checking them out... I'd be spending a few hours in there, on my hands and knees, going through as many as I could!!!
Most other folk wouldn't go to that bother and would just bid low to take a punt, and so if they were any good, I'd end up with a serious bargain!

Sometimes its what you DONT buy which makes your record collection special. I have 700 albums, all carefully chosen. It would do my head in if I had to go through each of those.

With you there Andrew. I only have about 900 LP's these days, all carefully chosen. I had so many i didn't play or were scratched to death but had a sentimental value. They just had to go.

I have about 300 CDs and about the same number of LPs. I just won't keep anything I don't play (I've got rid of loads).
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

Well, now I know for sure that one man's "bleedin' gorgeous" is another man's "arse-biscuit".
