Doug,

Was that a Backhanded Shot at Yamaha ?
If so it was a good one.

Mark, all thing considered, I would rather take a trip from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to San Jose, California in a 2004 Lexus vs a Hillman Imp. But then again, I never rode in a Hillman.
Like wise with Technics. Twenty years from now, I'd probably rather play the new KN18000(That's KN eighteen thousand) then the antique KN7000.
