Agreed on the box size. It does fit in my Kallax if I store it next to my Beatles mono box. The shelf must be weighted down enough to give me barely enough room to get it in there. Kid A Mnesia box is far too big for the kallax and has been relegated to my office shelf
I've actually got whatever the precursor to Kallax was. Expedit? The Beatles box fits with about a Rizla's clearance. Anything taller is on the floor. The rate I'm accumulating Tone Poets though, I'm going to need a better solution. I reckon 35 per unit is about the limit for the gatefold ones.
It's funny that whenever anyone refers to this forum elsewhere, it always sounds like everybody on SHF are in full agreement on whatever the topic is. Then when you read about anything on the actual forum people always have 100 different opinions about everything...
That may be true, but the guy is being satirical, and really it's a pretty funny and accurate portrayal.
It’s a nice compliment, but I disagree with his premise. Lots of Radiohead vinyl sounds spectacular. AMSP sounds pretty damn awesome on my system, too, though the pressings on that one aren’t the best
Couldn't agree more. I came to read (and learn) about the Tone Poet Series but got too frustrated that I have to hunt for Tone Poet info in a Tone Poet thread. I'll look elsewhere for the information I was after.
80%+ of Tone Poet posts are shipping updates, complaints about pressing issues, or “sounds great! Nothing to compare it to”. You can always use the search function or ask a question if looking for specific information. I don’t know why we have to ruin everyone’s fun because a select few can’t just pass over posts they aren’t interested in (just as I skip over shipping updates and QC complaints). But if you feel the need to be the thread police you can always report the posts to mods instead of making an additional off topic post to complain about others indulging in a short off topic conversation.
Just a couple hours ago I was in the Verve thread and there were a few Tone Poet comments, the only downside to this is that I noticed.
I decided to go for the Charles Lloyd Trios box from Blue Note and added a pre-order for the Chet Baker Sings and Plays to get free shipping.

Nice one! But that’s been around since 2016. I joined SHF much later and since then there have been plenty of bike related comments here as well . Anyways, I guess some like the chatty, digression-tolerant nature of threads and others don’t.
I like audiophile jazz records (and vintage 70s Blue Note pressings), sourdough bread, and I ride a single-speed fixie, but I’m not a hipster, I promise.
On my continuing journey through my Blue Note collection alphabetically, I am currently spinning My Point of View by Herbie Hancock. Remember playing it when I got it, but not much more than that it seemed to be fine. Nothing made me reach for it again. Spinning it this morning, I am enjoying it immensely. And the lineup: what a great bunch of players. Don't know how this slipped into obscurity for me in my collection, but that won't happen again!
Nice spot. Though that Blue Train is the mono one, and at £54.99 is grossly overpriced. £27.50 for it is good though!
