Music
Music is one of the most important things of my life, as my CD collection will testify. I have listened to a lot of music over the last fifteen years, and the variety and scope ranges from Aphex Twin to Frank Zappa, seriously. The main thing though is that it's different from the norm, where proper bands playing real instruments get the vote to be in my personal esteem.
The listening and viewing rig is complete for now, and is a full on surround setup with more than adequate qualities for straight stereo, and includes floorstanding front speakers for the rocking 2 channel stereo sound. Below is what the pages contain:
