I just got a new surround system. Five speakers and a receiver (no sub).
All mass-market gear and all NIB. Total cost was $1300. Anybody want to
guess?

Onkyo is right. You're as sharp as ever.

The man has taste.

Why do you say that? The speakers are all the same brand, if you care to
take a guess.

I do have a low-end Onkyo in the kitchen system, but the Radio Shack
speakers I use aren't all that revealing of sound quality.

I had an Onkyo mass-market piece a few years back, and was impressed by it
in every way. It transcended its humble epoxy-paper circuit boards.

Polk.

Sorry if I woke you.

Good enough for anybody who thinks that vinyl sounds good. :-(

Arnii, you'll forgive us simple Normals for eschewing the advice of
someone who regularly dines on feces.

So are the Quads in the main system and the Linn Kabers in the tv

BTW, I don't recommend turntables for the kitchen unless they're Lazy

No, they are too good.

I see that you're having problems with comparative word forms, Stephen.

Given that vinyl tends to sound like droplets of water hitting hot fat, I
can't think of a better place to listen to it than the kitchen.

And what do you use as a sonic reference, Mr. Smarty-Pants?

Kitchen Confidential Records?

That was a funny show. Is Krooger responsible for it getting canceled?

Silly me - I always mount the cartridge so that the needle is pointed down
towards the LP.

Thanks Jenn for sharing your secret for avoiding hearing noise and
distortion from LPs - play them with the needle pointed toward the front of
the turntable, not down so that it actually rests on the LP's groove.
