Have to admit I checked my set (I've had it for almost 3 years) and I'm ok. I've played the set a couple of times but feared I'd been "brain dead" part of the time.
I thought I was getting up to speed on some of the music more quickly than normal. Nothing like a wee bit of repetition!
Thanks for the recs by the way. I just got their Bartok set in the mail today (not from yourmusic - just call my "the fed," as I thought I should inject some cash into the music industry at more old fashioned prices. Having checked out other quartets' versions from the library I have a feeling the Takacs still be a steal on my part.)
If you haven't gotten it yet, you might also want to check out the Takacs' Schubert CD at yourmusic:

I haven't heard this CD yet (I have other recordings of these two quartets), but I do have it on order.
My Pepper box arrived today. Not sure when I'll get to dive into it, but I'm really looking forward to it (already have the 4 individual CDs). Big thanks to Erik and Mike for the head's up on this one. And as for Newbury Comics, what can I say that hasn't already been said?
Yep.
I'm currently on a strict "running low" diet when it comes to Mosaics (unless, of course, a terrific deal on one of the Universal sets happens to come my way ).
Erik, did they have any more copies?
As of this post, Newbury Comics is selling it via Amazon Marketplace for $49.99 new.

And as of last night, after one copy was ordered, they had 27 left.
