i'd also like to extend this to the forum, there is an absolute abundance of information here on the forum that has helped steer me in the right direction when i was loosing my way. i have made some good friends alongs the way, which had i not been here, wouldn't have happened. My stereo set up is completely from this forum, i couldnt in my wildest dreams have afforded the rotel set up i have at the time i bought it. i had so many inaccurate ideas on how the hobby should be approached, i have since learned to "chill" and just enjoy. My experience here has tought me that, there is no absolute wrong or right, if it works for you/me then its as right as it can be. Yes we are all odd in some way or another in the way we approach this hobby. but most important of all i remembered why "i love music".
