New high resolution SACD releases, players and technology.

yes, there is advancement but maybe not that much...

when one considers that in 1977, I was a grad student and single, so lots of freedom. I owned a McIntosh C26, a MC 2100, a pr of ESS Transtatic I's ($600/pr from a doctor and professor used), Linn LP 12 and Basik LVX Plus with Shure V15III HE, still works and is main table, then changed and had a GAS Son of Ampzilla with Hafler DH 101 and other preamps.

I still have 90% of my records from then, plus many others. The Beethoven 8th/9th with Leonore Ov 2 by Jochum/Amsterdam is a $8 special in mint condition on Philips. I love lots of his stuff, one favorite being the Beethoven 4th on an original tulip DG with Berlin Philharmonic.

But I hear you about the modern Mahlers. I have the capability to play those as well with my Pioneer universal Elite, but need to upgrade eventually. Actually, I have way too much fun with $1 vinyl nowadays to feel any urgency.
