| System Goals/Comments: | I am upgrading my system as money allows. I would like to close my eyes and imagine I am in the room with the artists and by able to place each instrument in the room by ear. I am getting there with my speakers and amp. I need to upgrade my CD transport and maybe the turntable. |
| System Strengths: | The strength is the speakers. The NAD 3020 is said to be the best amp NAD ever made. I am not sure how good it is. My turntable is about 20 years old and just OK. I don't care about the cassette deck because I only use it to make tapes for the car. |
