hehehe...actually, my Dad is the one that infected me in the 70's....and then with three active boys, he did not have time anymore.

They had been thinking about re-doing the livingroom for a long time, and finally my Mom said...."just do it". So they got rid of the old stereo equipment. Dad wanted speakers like mine, my HK525 was fine for them after I upgraded, and the STF-2 I got used(was going to use it in future for a small setup). If I get a new maple VTF-3MK2, I will give them my old VTF-3.

They have been looking at TVs for the past 5 months. That purchase will give a boost to my upgradeitis.

My Mom says "We are spending your's and your brothers' inheritance." I told them to go right ahead...they deserve it.
