That is one of the stark realities that I had to come to terms with when I revitalised my vinyl collection Johnny. Obviously you will not be using a TT exclusively for Classical music but modern period performance recordings (you know what I mean) are not available on vinyl. The older ones can be got but they can be the squeaky violin type! Hence the need to maintain a CD collection and a playback component if one is not going down the PC audio route.
you're not allowed tell me that.....
I've been telling myself I neither need nor want the Copland CD player that just landed with Noel...

It has been a while since I have listened to any Mahler so, unusually for me, I pulled this one off the shelf....
....I stand not convinced on M10; it is not an authentic Mahler work. However I find this one to be a good version.

Respectfully disagree on the first part, but many also disagree with me. I know there are problems and compromises, but I think it would have been his masterpiece if Mahler lived to finish it. This was one of the first major recordings and is a fine performance.
