Turntable/Phono Stage:	Umm... No. But vinyl records are sexy.

Tweaks:	I prefer a hoppy pale ale or, when the weather is agreeable, a nice porter.
Music Preferences and Comments:
Music Used (Genre/Selections):	Classic jazz does it for me. Acoustic rock is also yummy. And alt. country as long as it's Freakwater.
System Goals/Comments:	Something resembling authentic hi-fi stereo sound that is very affordable AND takes a minimum of space.
System Strengths:	I think I've hit my system goals with this combination of compenents.
System Weaknesses:	This budget system sounds so good and was so affordable that it's got me wondering about what else is possible...

Processor/Receiver/Amplifiers:	It's all in the Epson...
Speakers (Center, Surrounds, Sub):	In the Epson.

Comments on HT System:	I don't watch tv, and only watch movies occassionally. When I want to see a movie, I take the Epson out, set it on the coffee table, and enjoy a 15' picture.
