Another excellent resource for new classical recordings is BBC Radio 3's long-standing weekly broadcast "Record Review". Shows remain available to listen to for 30 days after first broadcast:

My system, which has evolved over 20-plus years, is tube based and many pieces were acquired used. It was mostly put together with the invaluable help and ears of Eliot Midwood at Acoustic Image (acousticimage.com) who is also responsible for many of the fine recordings on the Yarlung label.

Looking forward to your Argo video - Another awesome video - Thanks!
You are adding such value to my listening experiences! I’ve recently started an all-vinyl, all-classical collection. The recommendations you’ve made have all been spot on, whenever I’ve been able to find recommended examples at reasonable prices. Please don’t stop making these videos!

No plans to do so. Thanks so much for watching, and I'm so glad my recommendations have been useful.
I was a 1st tenor in the Penn State chorus in the early 70s. I remember performing Mahler's 2nd with Previn and the Pittsburgh

Strongly agree with your endorsement of the Second Viennese School set! I hadn’t known that about the seating changes, fascinating!

Isn't it? Thanks for watching and commenting.
Mark, great videos, thank you. I'm learning so much. Another interesting video could be around your hifi and your recommendations as to what works well together such as cartridge, turntable, amplifier and speakers for classical music. Another could be around which orchestras, conductor's and music that work well together for popular pieces. Kind regards Andy

Fingers crossed you find a clean copy.
Penned in timings are not always a dead give away to radio station copies. I've done that myself.

As one who loves collecting not only records, but also the album art, it pains me to see those price stickers placed directly on the front of the sleeve. Ouch.

Don't even go there -- I have fretted about this over and over. Very hard to remove without damage or leaving gunk behind. Goo-Gone seems to work best. Personally I think it's sacrilege that shops do this.
You should have seen how many Messaien albums were there a couple months ago when they put them all out, at least 50! Maybe the same amount of Takemitsu...I grabbed them all, original Japanese presses on JVC, Victor, Sony, big box sets as well.
