I just knew someone would bring this up.  Do you suggest that Kong's Dad
has two systems:  one for LP and another for "those infidels that prefer
CD"?  I MIGHT be able to imagine that the TT "isn't set-up" right, but I
know that for $5000, I'd have SEVERAL experts from the store I bought it
from over at my home setting it up "properly".  Hell, they are even now
doing this for inexpensive AV gear as most can't figure out how to do
it.  My guess is that Kong's dad either 1) has it set-up properly or 2)
has it around as art of status and I tend to lean towards door #1.  IF I
were Kong, I'd sneek in and put a CD player in the system just to see if
It sounded better even if that were against my Dad's religion, but that
is just the way I am.....  Getting to the point, How could he say something
was better if the room acoustics were bad?  Are they only bad a problem
for TT and not CD?  Jeeezzzz.
