Audiophile, Music Lover, and Musician      are apt ways to describe this loved person who recently passed away. His record collection, that includes classical (in the most broad sense), opera, and some jazz and popular, was meticulously cared for. The best turntables, styluses, and speakers were always used and brought current, as necessary. The records received attention (they were cleaned prior to and after each playing) that I thought was overdoing it at the time…now I know better, they were kept in beautiful shape…for their next owner, too. 

Unless noted in the auction’s details, all records and covers are near mint (NM). Thank you for looking. I trust that you will be pleased if you purchase from the collection.   

I hope you will look (and return often) to see what other records are being offered.
