| System Goals/Comments: | A system to enjoy for many years to come that will play not just some music well but all the diverse styles of music I love. I like transparency without glare and bite. Dynamics and tone trump imaging/soundstage to me. It has to sound like reality before I care about 3D stereo illusionary effects. My system is in its growth stage. I have quite a number of projects to finish up. The Felicia power conditioning project turned out to be an eye opener. A Dipole speaker project is in the works as well as a JVC ambionsonic processor. Too much fun stuff, too little time. |
