Naw, I had the Nautilus 804's, Theta Pearl, Mark Levinson No. 334 and
later a No. 383. Now my rig is the Pearl, iRiver CD-MP3 deck, Headroom
Cosmic Traveller, Senheisser HD600's, ER4S, Fontopias, and some Logitech
Z-2300s. The kids certianly have put the kibosh on the hi-fi gear for
the next decade or so.

Lately I've taken to ripping my substantial CD collection to MP3. Yeah,
I can tell the difference between the source and the copy, but I'm more
interested in having the music more available to me. Between the music
streamers on the home theater rig and a sweet car 20GB deck I picked up
for a song, it's working out OK.

My Level 42 content? I currently have 2.1GB (2,218,313,687 b) of
strictly Level 42 MP3s comprised of 323 files, and I'm only ~60% though
my Level 42 stuff. Included are such greats as "As Years Go By", "Past
and Presence", and a nice copy of _Haunted House_. They are currently #1
in my collection by size, followed by Beth Orton (1.55GB), Jethro Tull
(1.17GB), Peter Gabriel (1.15GB), Ani DiFranco (1.13GB), and the Cure
(994MB). I haven't started ripping my bootlegs yet- too much work to
type all that stuff in. :)

Anyone never heard of As Years Go By or Past and Presence, shoot me an
email off list, and I'll hook you up. :) (Old habits die hard.)
