  1. I was always much more fascinated by what "Shakespeare" wrote rather then who he/she/it was.
  2. Sad, sad, sad news. Che la terra ti sia lieve.
  3. There are lots of "hi end" streamers out there that can be controlled directly from on board screen or with apps on phones or pads, I even listened at them in "my" hifi shop and some of them sounds good. As someone noted before, I grown up with records, music and hifi magazines and collecting records and upgrade hifi rig is part of the fun, as well as hunting records, both online or in real shops. Actually I even own too much music, so music streaming doesn't appeal me. Anyway I recognized that it can be useful for a lot of reasons. I think the same about books and ebooks.
  4. And damaged cartridge I would add.
  5. Their releases are beyond reproach.
  6. I started to type my records (vinyl) and I have to correct my previous posts, the vinyl entries are excellent, so far I could find almost every pressings I have on discogs, few problems when I tried to find the correct pressing plant (!!!) of best sellers like Dylan. In general jazz entries are accurate with lot's of helping picts of covers and labels.

    I didn't, probably I throw money in some other records. "So much to do, and so little time"
  8. Just two are still available. On discogs the set is more then 250 euros, Shade of blue, 50. the others 30, if you add shipping costs, still not a bargain at all, but "men will still say, This was his finest hour."
  9. No way to buy the vinyl box set, unless you are the ex wife of Jeff Bezos
  10. I haven't got any records of Marsalis' firm, but I've got dozens of John Zorn's one. Said that I found this thread quiete interesting.
  11. Ajax plays the best football I saw in the last years, it deserves at least the final, IMO.
  12. I have no words to express my sadness, Guy.
  13. Like an organic french fries at McDonald?
  14. I couldn't agree more.
  15. My main problem with them is the pressings, editions issue.
  16. For my experience until now, the main problems with discogs is the same of many internet things: although a knownledge based of free contributors does taste of freedom and democracy, the lack of check and control from a board of recognize experts undermines reliability. There are great contributions that even indentify the pressing plant from run out etching and useless entries that make only mess. I mean democracy is good but not for scientific research, if the majority voted against Newton's laws, laws wouldn't change.
  17. Does it work for apple computer too? I am too old for the small screen of cell phone.
  18. Thanks! Seems it has more personal flexibility, all the informations you add are readily available for search and file, correct?
  19. Not selling my collection, I just wondering if it would be easier to file different pressings and editions, on discogs I just look for the right entry, but often there are dupes or the infos are redundant and useless, moreover it doesn't have many options for filing and searching, the first name/last name for example.
  20. Too bad they don't have a one month free option, just to try if it would fit my needs.
  21. Rest assured that if your heirs known the exact value of the collection, jackals will be left high and dry.
  22. The issue of value have sense IMO, expecially for my heirs, I don't want some jackals stole from them what I built with passion, research and money. I don't type the conditions of records I leave it to my nephews, as far as possible.
  23. Yeah, when the machines will take control they will erase human beings starting with the guys named Aaron.
  24. Some years ago I bought a Joe Henderson BN mono pressing I already own, but I sold it now and I had my profit, I can't say the same for other dupes. I used some lists I made, but I often forgot to update them.
