| Music Used (Genre/Selections): | All - Adams to Zappa, Ambient to Zydeco, Film Soundtracks, environmental, movies, TV sound, screaming V-10's on the F1 starting grid! |
| System Goals/Comments: | Eventually will move to dedicated media room. Would like to try Valhalla cabling and higher-end digital sources/DACs (Medea, EMM etc.) May move to a music server format. May upgrade subwoofer. |
| System Strengths: | Natural, transparent, detailed, listenable on a wide variety of sound sources and types. Cary adds superb tonal quality and detail. |

| Video/HT System: Integrated | |
| Comments on HT System: | TV sound is routinely routed through the main system. Have dabbled with surround sound. |
