Room Comments/Treatments:	I'm blessed to have a dedicated listening room now. It's small and oddly shaped, but it works. No "treatments." When I tell most people I have a listening room at all, they tell me I need treatment.
Music Preferences and Comments:
Music Used (Genre/Selections):	Very eclectic, including rock/pop, jazz, blues, classical, and 'miscellaneous'
System Goals/Comments:	Musical enjoyment. Primary emphasis on vinyl.
System Strengths:	This system makes music! PRAT, lifelike soundstage with good imaging and solidity to performers. I'm especially a fan of Nottingham turntables for their musicality--the 294 is my second Nott, and probably my final turntable.
System Weaknesses:	None to speak of. For the moment at least, I'm "there."
