System Goals/Comments:	The best sound on the music I like in that particular room.
System Strengths:	Speakers are very much to my taste - East Coast Sound. The Dual 701 makes good vinyl a joy to listen to. And SACDs sound awfully good even on this analog system.
System Weaknesses:	Not properly tweaked for full effect yet. But I'm learning.

Comments on HT System:	The sound on this system is fine for the small space it occupies. The Klipsch horns handle the sort of music I listen to there - jazz, mostly - quite nicely, and the Pioneer tames the digital brightness inherent in the XM stations available on my cable box.
Other Interests/Hobbies/Occupation:	I live in San Francisco. I enjoy cooking, blogs, vintage bicycles and cycling, and mid century modern furniture
