As the apartment was sorted through and divided up, it was determined my wife and I would receive the china cabinet and china, various wall hangings, and some clothes. It was also determined that we were best suited to make sense of a vast collection of music, including approximately 800 full albums and 400 45s.
In order to tackle this, we set aside most of a room. We needed to hold the albums, listen to the albums, and catalog the albums. I moved our record player from the dining room to the den, with a spare receiver.
Here's the setup. For those that care, we're listening using a Hitachi HT2 turntable, and a Harmon Kardon 230e receiver hooked up to a Panasonic bookshelf system. The purpose here is not to create the best listening environment, but to have a system to allow us to determine how good each recording is.
When I say "each" recording, I do not mean all of them. There's no way I'm going to listen to all these records, but some will warrant more attention. Once you've heard one Al Martino record, you know what to expect from the others.
