I only bought the BPO Bruckner Box last year, and I have no plan to buy anything this year.

I seem cured.

This is encouraging news. As for me, I only bought the 7 disk box set of Schubert's 4-Hand Pianoforte music by Vermeulen, since at the time I couldn't find it as a FLAC download. Otherwise, no new CD's for me for over a year now. I'm pleased. :)

I thought those pictures were great  ;D

Though some of them were a bit scary; I'd hate to try and get out of certain of those rooms in a hurry if there were a fire!  Or be found with just my feet sticking out under a pile of boxes that had fallen on top of me.  :D

There is the legend that the composer Alkan was killed when a bookshelf fell onto him. Probably not true but some of these people seem to be willing to take such risks...

I was thinking of that story when I typed the above--though I couldn't remember which composer had reportedly died that way.

Definitely not true. It belongs in the "Salieri killed Mozart" category. 😀

A couple of days ago my brother phoned my wife up to see if I had a particular CD in my collection (kindly wanting to get me a birthday present next month). I gather that the conversation went something like this:

Brother: 'Does Jeffrey keep his CDs in alphabetical order?'

Wife: 'ALPHABETICAL ORDER!!!! ARE WE TALKING ABOUT THE SAME PERSON?'

My brother (who does keep his CDs in alphabetical order) was very amused by this conversation.

So you keep your CDs in BECATIALPHAL order Jeffrey?  ;D
Spatial distortion is a serious problem deteriorating headphone listening.
Crossfeeders reduce spatial distortion and make the sound more natural
and less tiresome in headphone listening.
