The Zen of Cool.

If you got it because you thought others would think it's cool, then it's not cool. If you got it because you think it's cool, and could give two shits about what everybody else thinks...well then that's pretty cool.

But I will concede that lots of kids did want a shiny Fisher stereo and the more knobs and lights and meters it had, the better. I grew up in Queens, NY and in 1977, Fisher was the ultimate stereo to all of us 9 year olds. I don't know if other areas were the same.

Back on topic... I think sudz is right. Every single high end condo or new house I visit has the stereo hidden away so no one can see it. I walked into a 30 million dollar mansion a couple of weeks ago and all the speakers were plastered into the walls and the equipment was hidden away in a closet.
