- I just knew someone would bring this up. Do you suggest that Kong's Dad
- has two systems: one for LP and another for "those infidels that prefer
- CD"? I MIGHT be able to imagine that the TT "isn't set-up" right, but I
- know that for $5000, I'd have SEVERAL experts from the store I bought it
- from over at my home setting it up "properly". Hell, they are even now
- doing this for inexpensive AV gear as most can't figure out how to do
- it. My guess is that Kong's dad either 1) has it set-up properly or 2)
- has it around as art of status and I tend to lean towards door #1. IF I
- were Kong, I'd sneek in and put a CD player in the system just to see if
- It sounded better even if that were against my Dad's religion, but that
- is just the way I am..... Getting to the point, How could he say something
- was better if the room acoustics were bad? Are they only bad a problem
- for TT and not CD? Jeeezzzz.
