Adrian Boult's Warner (EMI) Vaughan Williams box set only £10.62 on amazon. Szell's wonderful Cleveland Beethoven Sony box only £7.99. I have bought the former, but already have the latter. Boult is a big bargain! Best,

This might actually induce me to join Qobuz - though I've not quite worked out what business model they are using. Can any Qobuz member buy downloads, or are there different levels of membership? I noticed something yesterday with different pricing, and mention of "Sublime" which I didn't have time to check out.
Sublime is a specific type of account where you pay upfront for a year's lossless streaming - that's 16/44.1 FLAC. That works out quite a bit cheaper than paying monthly for the same service. What it also gives you is the ability to buy a large range of high resolution albums at a discounted price. The price for 'standard' lossless albums is unaffected. High resolution may be anything from 24/44.1 to 24/192 depending on what the label has provided. Not all labels offer a discount to Sublime subscribers, ECM and Chandos are two of those.
I've been a Sublime subscriber for almost 12 months, and will almost certainly renew the subscription when it comes up for renewal.Steve
