over 3k LPs, several Cds

Music is the hidden architecture of Realities.

System Goals/Comments: Attained: a wonderful main system I can live with.
System Strengths: Decent low freq extension, wonderful mids, highs that sound like the concert hall, decent pace; good dynamics. joy inducing overall.
System Weaknesses: A lying yuppie weasel named Peter Schwartzman screwed me on the Cary 308 (audiogon). I had drawer problems loading problems display problems.I actually found a piece of shit smooth jazz cd INSIDE THE Cary's main compartment (not in the drawer) resting on the circuit board. Fixed. Lemonade.

Overall weaknesses:
The Spendor Sp100'a don't look like jet engines or tombstones, and the music is detailed but not electron microcrope detailed. You can't tell which pocket Gould has his pills in or what Monk had for dinner 2 hours before the gig.
oh well.

Video/HT System: None
Other Interests/Hobbies/Occupation: Trouble
Poetry
Hypercarbolation
