I won't go so far as a mono tape (Even when in an emergency it's ok), but the real difference of sounds between decent equipments (Unless you're a proffesional in recording) is so subtle that 99% of the people who boast about their fabulous equipments are unable to listen an improvement so great that justifies the expense.

If I'm in a desert island, the last thing I would care is about what specific piece of equipment I need.

I have a modest LG DVD and Home Theater in the living room and it's more than enough for me, in my room I own a good Sony all in one with a Room Theater (Nothing special) and it's perfect.

This question is patterned after the 'what 20 albums,movies,books would you want if you were marooned on a desert island' questions. So if you were stuck on an island and could only have ONE piece of high end equipment and the rest had to come from normal consumer stores like walmart what would that ONE piece be. I'm assuming it would be the amplifier but Im no audiophile so maybe I'm missing something.
