    Yes, that was a cool read! I went through a lot of that stuff - Hi-Fi VCRs and plain old Dolby Surround... 4 tracks in 2! Too bad The Pleasure Center didn't stick!

    I was on the wagon in about 78 or 79.

    I financed a Yamaha Dolby pro logic integrated and a BEAUTIFUL Sony XBR 21" er.

    Along with...

    I also had a Mitsubishi VHS hifi tape player that weighed 40 lbs and had one of the most sophisticated abilities known to man. :D

    Fisher speakers. The semi-cheap ones.
    Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.
