I 'guessed at 14 Jazz Lps today, and another dozen CDs which arrived in the mail today.
I have never heard a single thing on any of them.
I can say most of them are used, so the cost was way less than new.. But still i am happy to have them to be able hear something new.
Half the Jazz Lps were at $3.. A few New ones were in the $15 range..
All the Cds used averaging $6 shipped.
I would MUCH rather spend money on stuff well rated by reviewers and 'take a chance' on it, than re-buy some old warhorse for the fifth time...
HOWEVER: (Dude! Bob Dylan.. I bet millions of us have bought the same Dylan titles over way more than once. I bought them as teen, then again in CD. Then again in SACD, and some more Lps.. and then besides all that, the Mono Dylan box set)
So I am not totally immune from rebuying old stuff.
On the other hand, most of what i buy is used. So it is way cheaper than new in general. I try to avoid expensive used stuff. I figure someday i WILL find it cheap. So I can wait....
