Music Preferences and Comments:
Music Used (Genre/Selections): Mainly listen to classical. Occasionally jazz, rock, pop vocals, and Celtic vocalists. I like Sheffield Labs but all of my most favorite music is not on audiophile labels.
System Goals/Comments: Resolution, dynamics (micro and macro), depth of blacks, musical involvement. A pianissimo sustained long note should be as captivating as a brass climax.
System Strengths: Headphones
System Weaknesses: Speakers
Video/HT System: None
