I'll wait for computer digial to get it sorted out(it will happen eventually).Cable and Satellite television is ALMOST ready for prime time so hang in there with your UHF and VHF. Who needs more than 3 stations anyways. LOL!!!

Mcintosh c-2300, is it worth the money?
If you get the C2300, replace the cheapo chinese 12ax7 with Teles ribbed plates. They made a HUGE improvement in the C2200. Can't believe it was the same pre.
