I currently have an AR XA, a Philips 212 and a B&O T2. <BR/><BR/>My first classical album was given to me by my sister on my sixth birthday; Leonard Bernstein Conducts for Young People, The Socerer's Apprentice and Night on Bare Mountain and the Incredible Flutist. It took a bit of a beating as a child, but is still playable. While haunting a used shop in Boston a year or so ago, I saw a copy sitting in the front of a "misc." bin, open, but with it's celophane still intact. When I sild it out of it's sleeve--terrible wonderful moment for used LP collectors-- it was absolutely pristine. So, now I have two; one to play and one to remember.<BR/><BR/>I love you site and enjoy reading it regularly. Can't wait to have the time to read back into the archives.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
