System Goals/Comments: It's about done, now. Long story short I retrieved the Carver gear from storage in the garage after buying the Dahlquists, then added the Thorens and NAD sources later.
System Strengths: Plenty of power to run the Dahlquists.
Very balanced and well-matched, component-wise.
System Weaknesses: Except for CDP, all components 25+ years old.
Video/HT System: None
