I am listening to other types of music now more than ever. But rock and blues are the pedominate type. I find that some audio stores have some of my favorites to listen to, but ultimately I have to bring my own software to compare to my home system.

Future Sounds of London Tortise Galaxie 500 My Bloody Valentine... Not the usual hi-fi fare but, as Gen-X grows up and discovers real audio equipment, better get ready to buy some new in store cd's, because we're buying and throwing on some Beethoven just isn't going to get my attention. Or my dollars...

I like all of the above, I'm listening to your Silverman CD now, but I am listening to more and more country. Chris N
