Tokyo Qt. Complete Beethoven St. Qts. at a steal!

The Tokyo Qt's Complete Beethoven String Quartets for $17.79???

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008BOWG7C/ref=pe_848020_123694030_em_1p_6_ti

I've noticed the price of many CDs dropping precipitously, even below the cost of the MP3 version, but this? For 9 CDs of glorious music?

Maybe now is the time to buy CDs.

I can't wait for CDs to die and then come back again as some sort of hip retro format.

Nope.  Never gonna happen.   :duh:

Ludwig said these quartets are not for this century(XIX).
The rest is silence.

Thanks for the link rpf!  The price is down to $15.99 now.  :thumb:

(...and yes, now is the time to buy CDs. Enjoy them while you can. I sure do!  :D)

Thanks from me -- listening to this set tonight - impressive sounding, great playing, and hard to fathom how one can get this set delivered to the door for such a price. And not with the reputed 10 day delay, these came within 3 days of purchase. I appreciate the pointer RPF, am tempted to buy a few sets to give people as gifts, this is a steal for sure.

Many thanks, rpf.

I just ordered the set plus three other CDs. I look forward to all this new music.

Any thoughts on this original RCA set vs the later Harmonia Mundi set?
