Music Preferences and Comments:
Music Used (Genre/Selections):	Jazz/Country/Folk and some of most other genre's
System Goals/Comments:	The addition of the GPA rack has finished it all off for now. While I know that there are many, many systems that outperform mine, what I have is compact, combines well, and makes good music. I'm also confident that I'm getting the most out of my gear now so I'm happy to sit back and enjoy it.
System Strengths:	Lack of grain, naturalness, flow, listenability and emotion.
System Weaknesses:	I mainly use the Audio Physic speakers and they possibly aren't the most extended or incisive speakers at the top I've ever heard.
Video/HT System: None
