| System Goals/Comments: | Present the construction and at the same time drive the point of the music (be Naim like.) Liquidity. Grab me. Midrange first. A launch from a black space. Keep a beat. |
| System Strengths: | Surprisingly decent, reveals the sound of the source and chain. Can be nice or nasty. Rolls off very nicely top and bottom. Silly fun really for price. Designed by a tube man from when thats all there really was. Late at night listening to an old FM radio... |
| System Weaknesses: | Small area coverage, I expect it to get better with break-in, and more then my self-restrained volume. No tubes, not analog, desktop placement, it is what it is. |

Printing is mostly from color negative optically by a specialized custom lab here in N.Y.C. Some digital may be done thru iPhoto. I upgrade Photoshop but I have never learned it. I am constantly tempted by the digital approach to photo. |
