Other Accessories/Room/Misc.:
Speaker Cables/Interconnects:	N/A
Room Size (LxWxH):	15 x 15 x 7
Room Comments/Treatments:	System is set up in the basement - nice concrete floor, so no issue with footfalls. Room is a bit rough aesthetically but the exposed ceiling and brick walls do not hurt the sound!
Music Preferences and Comments:
Music Used (Genre/Selections):	Jazz! Jazz! Jazz!
System Goals/Comments:	Took me awhile to get the system together, which mostly consists of hand-me downs from friends or their suggestions.
System Strengths:	Synergy of the components are apparent. I spend time listening to 3 other sweet systems owned by fellow vinyl freaks, each very different. All 3 friends compliment me on the performance of my system.
System Weaknesses:	Could stand to improve my cartridge but am content for now.
Video/HT System: None
