    With no malice intended, and in as few words as possible...

    your family has the right idea. Go with the flow.

    Yip, not to sound like an elitest jerk but Soundesign is about the cheapest stuff around.

    I've got a half eaten sandwich that has fallen on the ground. I've knocked off most of the sand and ants. Does anyone want a bite?

    Actually, I have to admit, I have been trolling ebay for a particular Soundesign unit from my youth. I actually saw it once before, but did not bid on it.

    Apparently, the rise of Ebay, Antiques Roadshow, and HGTV have confused people's ability to separate junk from "vintage."

    I sold Soundesign crap when I worked for Lafayette Radio to people who were tone deaf, or just plain too cheap to buy something decent. Your folks are right, and you shouldn't waste any time either!

    Perfect Pitch...

    ...is the ability to throw an [Un]Soundesign unit into a dumpster without hitting the sides. Let us know how well you do...

    Computer system:

    MCS 3830 amp
    Realistic CD player [don't know model # offhand]
    Yamaha 3-ways [again, don't know model #]
    Yamaha sound card
    sound: not bad

    Bedroom system:
    Toshiba DVD player - only plays CD's
    Toshiba tuner
    Kenwood preamp [sounded better than my high-dollar Music Reference, now eBay'd]
    Onkyo cassette deck [3 motor]
    TDS unit
    Proton 300 table radio, in powered speaker mode
    Proton 301 powered speaker
    various headphones, including Stax
    sound: most satisfying

    Living Room system:
    JVC MX-1 [the original - shakes the floor during movies]
    sound: great

    I used to have a "main" system, and it was semi-exotic at one point, but one-by-one, the exotic components have fallen to cheaper units which sounded better. The preamp is an example, and I picked the Kenwood up at DAV for $13, and it's not even a "good" Kenwood. Before that my Anthem power amp was replaced by a Yamaha M-35 which I grabbed at an estate sale for $80.
