@Lovely1inred--I am spoiled! My husband is a total audiophile, and very into audio-engineering. He bought this fabulous turntable off of a friend who was upgrading, and built a very Frankenstein-d but awesome system...couldn't even tell you what all went into it, but it is great. With his set up, the vinyl sounds fantastic.
@PW-- I love System of a Down, too! Forgot about them. I also really like The Mars Volta, Alison Krause, and many others. Lucky for me that I'm NOT stranded on a desert island!
