Most of my music listening is done in my car but I only have the factory stereo (I drive a Mazda 6). The sound quality is pretty good, I think, but I would love to upgrade. At home I have a 51 disc Sony shelf system that is probably 7 years old or so. It's hooked up to an awesome 25 inch Zenith tv that is probably about 11 or 12 years old!
Also have a real cheap dvd player and vcr hooked up, and that is in my bedroom. Downstairs I have another 25 inch tv, with dvd player and vcr. In other words, nothing special. In fact, very outdated. I don't have a helluva lot of time to listen to music at home, let alone at a decent volume, so there is no immediate need for top of the line gear. Occasionally I will turn on the metal station that Comcast offers but since the tv speakers are all I have the quality sucks.
Now, back to my car. Mazda was kind enough to build this particular vehicle in such a way that makes it very difficult to add an aftermarker cd player, or anything. The entire dashboard needs to be removed since it is all one piece. I would love to get an MP3 player put in, or something with a USB port so I can drag along much more music without having huge CD cases with me where I go. But the $$ factor is keeping that a dream (damn house payment, car payment, gas prices, food, etc!)
Because of all my limitations I like to live vicariously through others who do have sweet setups, either in your car or at home. Tell me about them so I can fantasize. Thanks.
