After that scientific examination and evaluation by a certified audiophile, I can feel confident that the BN Box sets will yield sonics of the highest quality, and I have taken your handicaps into consideration. (maybe you could work on those in your spare time)
Volume a little low is better than volume too high. I think I can overlook the fact that I have 3 of those at that price; especially considering one of them might be a scratchy record.
When the volume is too high, and it's on your play list, you will be awaken from a nice snooze thinking war done broke out; that one gets deleted.
I forgot which Silver was the one everybody liked, but it was in the 70's I believe, which means it wont be in the Silver collection. Job well done, carry on.
Enjoy the music.
