Yes I think you mentioned some sites 5 or 6 weeks ago and I was looking through them, the average cost seems fair, especially if you started buying CDs in the 80's its just the number of titles available is so small. If I was a classical fan I'd jump in with both feet.

Yes and I'm gobsmacked especially remembering what I paid for them the first time around :)

No idea why you'd think my pockets are that deep :) but even if they where its the lack of discs thats the issue for me. I did/am considering the Magnetar UDP800 at £1300 but still the issue is discs, do I really need another copy of DSOTM?
