it's true. now, for sound, harmon kardon is certainly a good place to start. they offer several ground floor systems that will rock your socks, because you've been listening to garbage all of your life. once you get accustomed to HK, then you can start looking into other "name brand" acoustic appliances.

you thought THD (total harmonic distortion) under .5% was good, right?
