Don't they make cool computers? ;-)

And a range of excellent amps, CD player and speakers. You can get a nice
system for the price of a new MGF.
There's also Quad, Nad, Naim to name but three, and countless speaker
manufacturers.

Sort of, I guess. The theory is that Japanese taste is different to
Western taste. Which is why Japanese hi-fi sounds crap to us. So they get

Umm, this could lead to a very anoraky HiFi thread, and there's me just
started a Mac v PC one by mistake. :-) Best get back to the business of
MGs!
