| Best Upgrade you had? from an A/V receiver to SS separates. No upgrade (Except for tube separates and the switch to planars) has been as great. No even close. | |
| The best used surround processor under $750??? Can you get an Outlaw processor for that much? If so, that's what I'll vote for! | |

| How many records do you own? about 600, I started about 2 years ago. About 1/4 are heavy metal/rock, and the balance are classical. 10% from record stores, 5% from eBay, 75% from used record stores, and 10% from either people giving them to me or selling them to me. | |

| What is the one CD you can't find? Origina Motion Picture soundtrack for "Terminator." Yeah the first movie. Looking for a copy on vinyl LP. Don't ask me why, I just remember that I wanted a copy for some reason. :-/ ??Aaron | |
| Best Value System Stehno nailed it. Timf it is: Power, Resonance Control, and Acoustics. Assuming you have quality components, the cost isn't really anything to get hung up on. Buy whatever you can afford that sounds good to you (with your music, in your room). :-)... | |
