How many SACD / Blu-ray audio / DVD audio / etc do you own?
I probably have about 1000+  SACDs/DVD-As but they are all ripped with their files on my NAS boxes for playback.  The discs are in storage.

Anybody here listen to Mahler?
Another fairly complete (no 8th) is Michael Tilson Thomas' recording with the SFO in SACD for those who care.   There sure is an 8th in the series.    
Changing Turntable to Balanced Output

Architectural Digest finally shows audio gear!
My daughter's apartment was in AD many years ago and, while there was a casual reference to the audio and HT setups, neither were illustrated.
