"Beyond that, I guess the questions are -- how many Bruckner recordings do you already own?"Close to 600 (spread amongst reel-to-reel tape, vinyl, cassette, and live broadcast airchecks).
"Are you looking for one definitive set that will make it unnecessary to buy any other recordings?"
Impossible to do. Doesn't exist.
"Or are you really into Bruckner, looking for some different insights?"
Sure. Certainly NOT going "stop" myself from learning of, listening to, or enjoying yet another approach. To do so would be utterly stupid.
"Or are you looking for spectacular audio to show off your system?"
No. Not the right kind of music to do so.

I tip my hat - that is some real enthusiasm! ;-)
yeah...of 'just' bruckner! LOL
i have over 50,000 LP's, and over 57,000 recordings (combined cassette, broadcast airchecks, reel tapes, CD's, vinyl, et al).
No...not all. No way! (i DO have a life...also! lol)
I would love to see what 50K vinyl looks like in a residential application!
i have 28,000 in my house....spread around several rooms; my home office, the living room (all walls lined with LP's), a stretch of a hallway between two bedrooms/bathroom, a spare bedroom, and a family room.
i also have 22,000 in my garage (insulated, weather protected...keep in mind i'm here in Southern California...weather not really a problem).
the LP's in my house are all categorized...by genre, alphabetized by artist, by composer, etc, etc. one wall is just female pop/jazz vocal recordings....another wall is just male pop/jazz vocalists, one room is nuttin but 'oldies' (50's and 60's pop/rock), the living room is all classical, etc, etc. the records in the garage are still a work in progress...i'm sorting them out, alphabetizing, etc. might be a while before i get them done.
as far as cataloging....well....i don't. i just head to beethoven, then look within for string quartest, artist name (alphabetized), then specific work, etc. e.g.: head to the beethoven section, then look in the string quartet section, then look for Emerson, then look for Op 59 #3, etc, etc....or, head to the beethoven Symphony section, look for Reiner (way down the row...remember, "A-Z"...and all "Reiner" beethoven syms are filed together), then Sym #7, etc)....you get the idea.
Ditto on Sinatra: head to the male vocal wall...head to sinatra (in his case, also sorted by label within)....head to "Columbia", "Capitol", or "Reprise", depending on what LP i'm gonna play next, then grab it. i TRY to keep all pop records in sequence...so...all Sinatra Reprise records will be stored record 1001 through 1058 (or whatever his last Reprise record number was...don't remember off the top of my head), in numerical order.
but what to do when i get the garage 22,000 sorted and ready to assimilate into the other 28,000 inside the house? i dunno. i haven't gotten that far yet! lol they won't fit in the house unless i completely overhaul another room...and i dunno that i wanna do that. check back with me in 6 months to a year...no telling how it'll all play out! lol
