She had no idea I was taking the pic. She was comfortable until I shot the pic, then she got pissed, so I guess you were both right...  ;D
I am confident that an SL-1200 is capable of outperforming turntables of much higher expense with minor modification.

If she didn't get pissed about the picture, she'd find something else to get pissed about.

As a guy who once loved 8-track tapes, I have no problem with SACD, VD-A, BluRay, etc.

For audio, I see it as a small market where the TAMS and the HIRRLL will never be available.  You can't even buy the BEATLES there.

Those are good formats if you have a collection, but for guys starting out, the best way to go is 'COMPUTER AUDIO' as it will not be dated any time soon.  (it changes and improves everyday)  Here are my thoughts on it:  http://yardcrap.typepad.com/yardcrap/2010/08/computer-audio-for-everyone.html

More each day sound is not stereo, and computer audio is the only way to keep up.

Personally, stereo has entertained me for years, and I see no reason to change, but I do use a computer as my transport.

Last year I used a FUBAR I upgraded - really good sound -

This year I got a Benchmark DAC Pre.  That way I was able to do away with my preamp.

I shoot that to Sunfire Trio Ribbons and it sounds great.

and this is my outdoor system -  :P0909-------9990
