I would say we are about even on our counts, and I see a what appear to be a nice collection of classical box-sets on the right hand side. Very nice! Do you have an RCM? Are your Dad’s LP’s in good shape? I seem to remember you saying a while ago he had an extensive classical library.
I think most of his records are in pretty good shape. Some are pretty worn but still listenable. Yes, my dad really loves classical music. He just doesn't like messing with LPs much now, and has a big collection of CDs and some SACDs.
I just had look through those LP sets, I haven't really looked through all his sets before. Here's some of 'em:
Bach - Glenn Gould
Tchaikovsky - Philadephia Orchestra/Ormandy
Beethoven Symphonies - Toscanini
Beethoven Symphonies - New York Phil/Leonard Bernstein
Brahms - Columbia Symphony Orchestra/Bruno Walter
Mozart, Last 6 Sym. - Concertgebouw Orch/Krips
They look in real good shape too. I'll have to give a listen when I can. I bent my cart needle accidently a while back so I may upgrade my cart, and build a MC phono preamp. We'll see.
