| Other Source(s): | 80's Dennon Cassette Deck |
| Other Accessories/Room/Misc.: | |
| Speaker Cables/Interconnects: | Zip cord, cheap interconnects |
| Other (Power Conditioner, Racks etc.): | Homemade MDF shelves on modular steel brackets. Brackets stuffed with plumber's putty to kill the clanking. |
| Tweaks: | Added RCA connector on back or Dual to allow using regular IC cables. Soon to add some bituminous sheet damping to underside of Dual's stamped-metal deck. |

| System Goals/Comments: | Recreating the system I SHOULD have bought when I was a teenager in the 70's, but was too busy buying guitars and amps. The speakers are too big for this room. I plan to build a nice pair of small MTM 2-ways in the near future.
|
| System Strengths: | Solid, classic workhorses, bought on the cheap. It's not high-end, but I love this stuff. |
| System Weaknesses: | I really ought to put a 1/2" mount adapter and a nice OM-20 on the Dual, but that would double the money I've invested in this system. |
| Video/HT System: None | |
| Other Interests/Hobbies/Occupation: | Guitars & Tube Amps, Bicycles, Boats |
