Exactly. "Sublimits." Do you mind sharing the name of your insurance company? One of the things I'm sussing right now is what companies are willing to do such a rider.

Bumping an oldie but goodie regarding this perennially nettlesome issue in insurance matters regarding valuation. Perhaps you've since made the move to a smaller house. Whether it be what you originally paid or what it would cost to replace the disc, valuation is likely going be negatively...

Sure would have been fab if there was a tandem 40th anni UHD BD release of Yentl.

Yes. Precisely why I said "surmise": I'm wondering what the supposition "on another forum" about Vol. 4 supposedly not happening is based upon. "When [those] scamps get together [they're] worse than a knitting circle."

Happy to see Babs is opening the “vaults” for UHD BD releases. Wonder if she’ll ever agree to BD releases of The Television Specials. Is the surmise about Volume 4 not happening because each existing Volume was released in consecutive years, June has of course passed and we I think haven’t...

Will add to my lengthy 3D-BlurayRental.com 'watch list.'

Seeking any new intel on an old question.

Any PQ comments comparing the Sandpiper to the TT? Debating flipping the TTs to enjoy iso score tracks and Julie's essays on this and TT's Eye Of the Needle and then getting the less-expensive Sandpiper releases.

All this Mahleria inspired me to finally get a high rez M7.

I have the M3 from that cycle. They needed more rehearsal. Workmanlike, I find. Having said that, Lenny gets a lot of attention for starting a decades-long crescendo of attention being paid to Mahler. But my understanding is that those Abravanels with, excuse me, Utah are the first...

I just checked pricing on this and holy moly Amazon has DVD-A copies for as cheap as $4 (yes, four dollars and change). Time to check out that jetliner! :) (A bit of pushback on the CD preference, DBK: There's def something to be said about surround sound and Mahler, especially for the...

All this Gustav talk got me amped up. I went looking (again!) for the Chailly/RCO M2 DVD-A. It's always been pricey. I found it locally near "lovely downtown Burbank," close enough for me to go pick it up. $22, natch. If you hear The Great Call on the horizon, it's probably me listening...

All Sony DualDiscs do NOT contain high rez audio. The corporate thinking on that was that including high rez would compete with their SA-CDs. All Universal Music Group (UMG) Duals--from Mercury (Bon Jovi) to Interscope (Keane) to DreamWorks Records Nashville (Toby Keith)--do indeed contain...
