Looks good at this point.   LCD 3 Senn 650 AKG 701 Yulong DAC Woo Audio 6 (hot rod)   Cheers

I've been known to check Classicstoday.com for their 10/10 selections - see if Naxos has it. The Bruckner 7 with Haitink and Chicago (CSR) is excellent.

Mahler 4 - Fischer, Budapest

Nat King Cole "One of those Things" - S&P 508.

Bartok 4th Quartet - Hungarian Quartet on DGG.

. . . Violin Concerto and 1st Rhapsody - Henryk Szeryng, Bernard Haitink with the Concertgebouw Orchestra. Philips 6500 021. Really nice in all respects.

Bach and Vivaldi violin concerti - Oistrach & Stern with Ormandy & Philadelphia (mono).

Thanks, I think I'll indulge.

. . . "Best of" album. Bach, B minor Mass (continued).

. . . beginning anyway - Musical Heritage Society, Ensemble of Lausanne. Excellent
