    The big Szell box as present to self. 106 CDs that should last me till next Christmas and beyond. The hardback book that comes with the set is a thing of wonder in itself.

        Present to self, an excellent new Quad Artera Play + CD Player / DAC / Preamp for the study music system, to replace the recently deceased and much missed Quad 67.

        Christened ( in the musical sense ) with a selection of Bach Cantatas earlier this morning courtesy of Masaaki Suzuki - a wonderful start to Christmas Day.

              No CDs for me, let alone boxed sets.

                        I did!

                        Moreover, they're not the kind of trainers that rub against my heels, causing lots of pain and blood...

                          The trick with CDs I find, is to get your retaliation in first.If possible buy the required present, and then offer the possibility of saving all that tedious shopping effort to your potential present buyer......

                            Retaliation?

                            According to my mum, she looked but couldn't find my amazon wish list... (which she would use as a guide but not buy from amazon, she hates amazon.)

                            It's no big deal really, I still have plenty of nooks and crannies in my collection that still need exploring...

                              Incidentally, the Jurowski Anniversary box really is a beautiful piece of product, as it goes. Deffo one for the wish list..........
