Pick your poison...2-channel or multi?
Jack_Dotson...get ready to call me crazy. You haven't heard a proper MC setup until you can take your 2channel CD's, play them over the MC system, and it sounds mind-numbingly better in MC then in stereo. I can say that because I've heard it for m...

Phil, hears the deal. I would believe everything you said about how 2 channel is far superior to MC....if my ears didn't tell me diffferently. It's wasn't novilty or special effects I was listening to. I EXPERIENCED the musical performance! To be ...

213cobra - Thanks for the response. It's funny you say that a $10k MC system is "nothin'". Even funnier that you say a 10K 2channel system is "dramatically goes up in quality." Care to elaberate?What about the performance of the systems. No, the n...

Let me chime in again and offer a formal appology to Surgod and all others I may have offended. It's not my charactor to be so "in your face" and rude. It's truely not my intention. Don't piss on my leg and tell me it's raining, though!!! But I ne... 
Jumpers - How good do they really have to be?
I agree with Newbee. I couldn't see justifying spending anything over $20 for a 6" set of jumpers. But I've been called worse things than cheap before. 
Two channel, SACD or DVD?
I'm more of a MC man myself. Both formats seem to work great for MC. DVDA discs are a little more difficult to navigate without a video monitor of some sort. If I had a choice I would pick both. It's more a personal preference than anything. Happy...

Surfgod...Your guess is correct. I have never heard 2 or 4 track pre-recorded factory reel to reel tapes with musuic. I'm not sure if many people have heard such a thing. I'm sure that you could probably count on your hands and toes as to how many... 
Two channel, SACD or DVD?
Nope...its all the same information, just formatted a little differently on the disk. Its a matter of preference.

Perkadin...thats just one of the many benifits audiophiles are missing with MC. I personally prefer the center channel on a blended in with the fronts. But thats the option that I can choose. Its flexible to my taste. With 2 channel, your just stu...

Cinematic_systems...I don't think Strabo REALLY wants that. It will complete destroy the audiophile belief system. IMO, I think Strabo gave MC a shot, but with little to no extra guidence and lack of exposure to its true potential, Strabo, like so...

Philnyc...your even more an enthusiest than I imagined. Thanks for explaining your thoughts even though your really didn't have to. Please excuss the spontanious venting, but it really irks me to here "MC is not for audiophiles" or MC is a joke wh...

Jimmy2615 - You bring up excellent points about MC. MC does require a little more intuative preparation than 2 channel and, yes MC is no good without a solid 2-channel starting point. But how many races have you see where the runner starts from th...

Eldarado - You have a valid point. The music is coming from in front of you, and possibly from the sides...depending on how close you're sitting to the source. But does your listening room sound like a concert hall? Can your listening room replica...

Philnyc - I have to disagree with you on one minor detail. IMHO, Mediocre MC systems have now become just as good as "High Quality" 2-channels systems. High end MC systems are on the same playing field as High end 2-channel, when kept within the e...

Cinematic_Systems - You bring up an interesting point that I really didn't think of when I started the thread. OK EVERYONE, let mix things up then. 14k is the budget for 2channel, 6K for MC. You rooms are equal; you have enough space to properly s...
