System Goals/Comments:	The system is exclusively geared around transcribing records to my computer, which is the only way I listen to records (of any format!).
System Strengths:	Very low EM interference due to fully-balanced turntable operation and shielded path to ADC. Flat transfer capabilities.
System Weaknesses:	Not compatible with MM carts without some additional tweaks. Push-button access to phantom power across the cartridge (which fortunately does not seem to cause damage). No live listening with RIAA eq (yet).
Video/HT System: None
