I think the CD oriented music business is killing itself as DVD audio/video is providing much superior value and quality.

I just bought my first entry-to-high-end turntable, gradually coming to appreciate the enduring value of vinyl. Yes, I like to watch a good DVD movie with a sharp picture. But, running the sound through two channels is fine with me. Very few movie sound tracks are worthy of high-end audio, unless you are watching concert videos. And no, I have no desire to hear a Tyrannosaurus Rex thundering up on my blind side.

I have 2 systems: the high-end audio system, which is basically for me, and the home theater system, which is basically for the W.A.F.
