I bought my son and daughter decent starter systems and I let them use my system .. But they get punished if they do not handle my CD's properly and they have to replace any thing that gets ruined. These days its tough to compete with MP3 and iPods do to peer pressure. Kids want what other kids have.

My kids are finally starting to see the light. My son was complaining the other day about his computer sound, so I bought him a high end sound card so he's starting to appreciate sound quality.
