I guess I'm like a guy that likes vinyl over CD. Sure the CD sounds great,
but there's just something about an old record that sounds better to some
people. That's the way I feel about CRT's They just have a great picture and
are easier on my eyes then LCD's. I also have a HD CRT. Sure it's not a
mammoth set, but what there is to see is amazing. I haven't yet seen an HD
set even come close to having the rich color my WEGA has. JLC
