Interesting you chose Mahler 2. So you're saying having to split the symphony onto four sides of two lp's, including splitting the final movement into two parts (something I'm sure Mahler himself would have disapproved of) is a technological triumph? Should I mention wear over time? Tracing error? End of side mistracking? Sure, it needs two CD's so can't be listened to without changing discs, but with a streamer this is no longer a problem. Classical on vinyl was awful and it was no surprise that it vanished in 1990. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ StephenPG's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=48249 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106519 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
