Great set - I cut my teeth on that set. Great performances of all the works.

Today I'm in a violin mood, so the new Mari Samuelsen release on DG is playing. Normally I hate these types of compilation artist releases, but I must say there's lots of interesting/good music, including composers like Max Richter on it and I'm enjoying it:

Starting the day with a classic set of Beethoven recording by the Beaux Arts Trio:

I've been collecting CD's at a rather torrid pace since 1983.

I've accepted that I have a problem but have yet to enter a program to deal with it.

I'm trying to slow down. I've decided that spending thousands of dollars on CDs every year isn't a good idea unless you're a millionaire, and I'm not, he said while placing another order. The problem is that there's so much great music out there and it's so easily available, unlike in the pre-internet days.

I too have a massive collection of music (tens of thousands of recordings) and I've not bought a single new recording since getting Qobuz. It's awesome - a ton of new releases every Friday, lots and lots of hirez, but even the 16/44 sounds great. And a massive back library that I can explore through on a whim. I've heard more great music in the last 2 months that I'd heard in the previous year. And from composers and labels I'd never have actually spent $$ because I was so unfamiliar with their work.

Put it this way - if you look back in this thread, every single post I've made since page 139 has been a Qobuz stream/album. That's a ton of music in a huge variety of it, too.

I'm a technical retard, so I hesitate to get into computer music with DACs and what not, esp. at my advanced age.
