This one is with thoughts for poor Simon and his continued misfortune with his HiFi hardware.

I have eventually completed listening to the 20 LP set above and I was very enamoured with Rogg's light, easy and free flowing style.

There is no denying it Fergus, the packaging on some of those collector's LP box sets was magnificent... lovingly crafted.

That is a particularly lovely set Jared. The box is covered with woven cloth and it also contains a lavishly illustrated 70 book and also, of course, 20LP of JS Bach's organ works all very well played....heaven!!!

I am a fan of Zinman but I was never really convinced by that interpretation; perhaps because it had a different "feel" to most M1s that I own. I would be curious to know what a multiple M1 owner thinks Seán.
