Christopher Jones
Chris Jones was born and lives in quiet rural Indiana. Growing up he became interested in cars and music. He discovered that he had more talent for listening to music than playing it. He has since attended many live concerts, built a car audio shoppe and fallen in love with two-channel stereo, and currently enjoys a multi-channel home theater based around a Dell DLP projector and B&W speakers. Never being satisfied with the quality of his CD playback, and never being able to afford necessary upgrades have forced him to develop a keen sense of value and a careful approach to achieving realistic musical performance . He can’t be called an audiophile. Audiophiles listen to equipment. Chris listens to music, and believes all types of quality gear can offer acceptable realism, be they analog, digital, tube, transistor, electrostatic or dynamic.
Chris also maintains an open invitation to anyone wanting to lose at Gran Turismo 4, and admires the spirit of anyone who accepts the challenge. Punch and pie will be provided, as will consolation prizes! To enter, email him at porkroll@bmwe30.net.

We had just finished changing my listening room into a theater setup to accommodate my new projector, and we were ready to start diggin’ some music. I was already in my sweet spot...
