Amazing Solo Piano Recordings
Thanks, Buxter, for the DG/Schumman comments. Very helpful. As for your second post regarding Kissin, I'm not a huge fan of his, either, but will give him a listen. What do you think of Pletnev's Liszt? 
Your Favorite, Most Outstanding Guitar Solo
Rather than repeat those already nominated, I'll put in a pitch for the Dickey Betts/Duane Allman solo on "Blue Sky." 
unico or YBA integre?
Sugarbrie (or others).... what do you mean by "soft bass?" 
Record sleeves?
Par3n1: this is the problem! There apparently is NO seller anymore of VRP sleeves. Here is the exact text from Sleeve City:"VRP Sleeves" made by Discwasher were considered to be the original rice paper type of sleeve. Only problem is, Discwasher f... 
Record sleeves?
Albert... Lugnut also pointed out that "rice paper" sleeves are not really rice paper. What Sleeve City used to sell are these same paper/poly sleeves that I'm looking for and that you and Lugnut refer to. My question, still unanswered, is: is it ...

Treating records with LAST preservative
I'm one of those who bought LPs from Sdcampbell and can, indeed, vouch for their pristine condition and great sound. His use of LAST clearly has not deteriorated the sound in any way whatsoever. [PS, Scott... still waiting for that next list!]

floorstanding speakers for NAD C-320BEE amp

Any feedback on TANNOY?

Looking for a guide to best classical recordings
Nick, I use several sources:Penguin Guide. The "big book" is revised regularly and they also publish a shorter update between printings of the big book.Gramophone guide. I don't like this as much. They seem to prefer the British orchestras and per...
