    Are you talking about loaning out your CD's, or do you have a player
    in your office?  If the latter, what is your location?
975.2MEGA$$$=700*15.99CSCMA::LEONGI ski. Therefore I am.Thu Nov 19 1987 07:313
    You have 700 CD's?!?  I could mention the table, arm, head amp and
    cartridge you could have bought with all that money but I'm not
    an AUDIO snob. Still, that's quite a collection & I be drooling...

    At a worse case average of 33min/disc, that averages out to 16.04
    days of non-stop playing (not counting time to insert and remove
    each disc), could you tell me when the hell you have time to listen
    to all you have bought?

    re:.7
    
    Who says he has to listen to all of them frequently?  Would you ask
    the same question if he said he had 700+ *records*?  I think not.
    
    re:.8
    
    700 CD's do not take up a lot of space (one of the advantages of
    CD's over LP's. I have ~300 CD's and they fit in 6 2-foot bookcase
    shelves. I have the space available (with a little shifting around
    of some magazines) for about another 400 CD's. If only I had the
    money to buy them. :-)
    
    I've been considering building my own CD-bookcases that would be
    much more efficient in space usage (the current bookcases I use
    have 10" shelves whereas 6" would be sufficient). If I did this,
    I could create well over 200 CD's worth of shelving in the same
    amount of gross bookcase space.

975.10ULTRA::HERBISONLess functionality, more featuresTue Dec 01 1987 16:587
        I `only' have about 500 CDs, but for some reason I have always
        had problems storing them (I have similar problems with books).
        What I am currently using is a bookcase with adjustable shelves
        supported by pegs in holes in the sides.  By adding additional
        shelves I am able to make fairly good use of the space.

975.11MONK's DREAMCURIUM::MULDOWNEYThu Dec 03 1987 09:5611
    Still new to this conference......
    
    Can you give me a review of the Jazz CD "MONK'S DREAM by Thelonious
    MONK Quartet".   It is on Columbia Jazz masterpieces CK40786.
    
    According to the DEC. issue of Digital Audio they gave it a pretty
    good rating.
    
    Thanks in advance
