And...?

I.E. report back on how they are once you've listened to them.

By and large very, very good. The Supertramp Original Master is phenominal, The John Redbourn (of Pentangle) was a pleasant surprise as I had never heard of him. Time Out (Brubeck) is always good, and the Charlie Byrd is as good as the others. So far that's all I've played. :thmbsp:

I found that Supertramp at the curb along with other half and masters about a year ago (and posted here) I don't have a TOTL TT but it still sounds great. The singing and instruments are clear and accurates and so crisp. Now I know why people bought and buy those. A Cream Wheels of Fire sealed just sold for $400 on ebay. Ouchhh
