| What is a good intro to "Mahler"? I was listening to Das Lied von der Erde last night! Jessye Norman, etal, Berlin/James Levine on DG. Not sure how it compares to others. I bought it cheap from a local record store going out of business. | |

| Perreaux P250 Problem Are there internal fuses?? Would be a shame to pay a tech $80 to replace a 50 cent fuse. | |
