| What stereo equipment do respected musicians listen to? Actually JCPenney's MCS equipment was rebranded Japanese products and in many cases was very high quality. I believed they used Technics, Nikko and Toshiba products. Don't confuse they with Sears stuff. | |
| Is there any one piece of vintage gear you most wished you owned? JBL Paragon stereo loudspeaker. Frank Sinatra had three of them for home playback of his studio recording tapes. They were originally intended as the center channel for a three channel playback system with JBL Hartsfields as the L/R. | |

| Those who seek to deny access to information tomic601, great example, that dude has his act totally together. I wish I was more like him. | |
