Everything must go! Well, maybe not everything, but I'm running away to sea, and not everything will fit on the boat. The stereo, albums and CDs all have to go, for sure.
Hardest to part with, for sure, are my two Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs boxed sets. This auction is for The Beatles Collection, and I'll also be listing my MFSL Rolling Stones box set next.
If you are browsing this listing, I presume you already know about the 100% virgin vinyl, the JVC Japan half-speed mastering from the original Apple Records studio master tapes, etc. If you are browsing this listing, you may also be familiar with the kind of stereo geek who NEVER loaned out his vinyl albums, ALWAYS cleaned the record and the stylus before each play, ALWAYS stored records upright in lint-free, static-free sleeves, and ONLY handled the records by their edges, and ONLY played them to make listening tapes (cassette and reel-to-reel). Yes, that was me.
[Just for the record, so to speak, I wasn't always a stereo geek, but I got tired of pops and clicks, and I got tired of replacing albums I wore out, so I learned to take meticulous care of my albums, and especially the audiophile pressings (MFSL, Nautilus Recordings, Sheffield Labs, etc.). These were treated with a thin-film lubricant, and the turntable's tracking weight and anti-skating periodically calibrated. I have transcribed my library to iPod for cruising purposes, and my obsessive-compulsive tendencies are expressed in things nautical instead of things musical.]
I will estimate that this set was only played five or six times. The records themselves are in excellent, almost-new condition. The sleeves are in very good to excellent condition, and the book is in very good condition. The book has some minor scuffing on the exterior, and there is a thumbnail-size ding on one edge. The outer box is very good; it has two dings, one on the top edge, and one on the side edge of one of the opening 'doors'.
