| System Goals/Comments: | Sort out the dirty electrical side of the system. Incorporte some additional isolation. Some Interconect upgrades including a re-wire on the Rega (Now Done. Cool). Tuner and Tape deck and maybe MD upgrades |
| System Strengths: | Nice warm sound no matter what I play even from the CD Player which has a valve output. Having said that, has a nice edge to it when you play the right type of music. |
| System Weaknesses: | No seperate spur as yet. Once I have clean electrics then I can see what else if anything is wrong. Tape and Tuner are very weak compared to the rest of the system but don't use them much. And I have been told that maybe the Pre Amp is not up to the Job!!! |
