System Strengths:	Dual 1019 is a great turntable! Sony receiver has a strong and effective surround decoder. JBL speakers are very pleasing - their big sound belies their small size.
System Weaknesses:	Tuner section in the Sony receiver is mediocre. Its AM section is poor and FM is just adequate. Why bother with a tuner if you can't do it right?

Comments on HT System:	Certainly nothing here is high end or state of art but it all works and sounds great, the tuner notwithstanding.
Other Interests/Hobbies/Occupation:	After five years as an electronics tech and 20+ years in the pro photography business I'm now semi-retired. Into photography, fishing, white water rafting. And I hate gardening!
