For anyone who is interested, I fond this great offer on Amazon for a 60 CD set of RCA Living Stereo CDs for only $125, including shipping.
I already have too many of the included CDs to make it worth it for me, but for anyone who is looking to build a classical library (Ken?) this is an amazing collection of music, all with top notch SQ (no I haven't heard all 60, but I have never heard something with bad SQ come out of the Living Stereo CD series). Many of the recordings are considered among the best ever done for that particular piece.

Too bad I didn't trip over this before Father's day. :duh

Yes, that would have worked well for me too, since I was born on Fathers Day, so maybe I could have convinced them I deserved a big present this year. Christmas is coming...

Rippin' away...

I saw this collection over at Triode Pete's over the weekend. Nice compact packaging. I am almost thinking about picking up a set just to be able to reclaime some of the storafe space currently being taken up by all of the Living Stereo CDs I already have. I'm geetting to the point where shelf space is becoming a close second to SQ and performance in my purchase decisions. :roll:
I just ordered another Floor to ceiling CD rack and that will take up the last piece of open wall space in the mancave. So I am basically down to my final 1084 CDs before I run out of storage space. I wonder how long that will last? :duh (Of course "thinning the herd" is just not in my DNA :rofl:)

Judging by your avatar looks like you are getting full!

I've listened to a few of them... Packaging is great...comes with a 1/2" thick booklet describing all the performances & details. The Sound Quality is right up there with the best of them...
No regrets getting this collection...

Check this out.
LIVING STEREO COLLECTION VOL. 2 - VARIOUS ARTISTS
https://www.popmarket.com/popmarket/details/29846608?feature_id=29846558
24 hour sale. Where I live I'm getting free shipping but have to pay tax. The total out of pocket expense for me is $92 for this set.
This site is evil for me. This year I've been buying lots of music from them. Pricing is pretty good most of the time vs. Amazon.
I've bought all sorts of records and CDs from Popmarket and pricing has been good for most of the deals. Shipping sometimes though isn't as fast Amazon.

Barnes and Noble now has this set on sale for only $76, including shipping.
They also have all thre volumes of the Mercury Living Presence Collections on sale for $119 each.
Get'em while you can! 8)

D, don't feel bad. If you see a set like this that you want and it is at a decent price just buy it. If you wait you might get a better deal, but there is just as good of a chance that the set will go out of print and you will end up paying double the price just to get your hands on one. Been there..... :roll:
-
I still have to rip them and add them to the collection. So far I have only gotten around to listening to the SACD ones that I got.
