| Room Size (LxWxH): | 18' x 13' x 9' |

| Music Preferences and Comments: | |
| Music Used (Genre/Selections): | Mostly rock, blues, pop, jazz, and classical. |
| System Goals/Comments: | I am pretty comfortable with where I am on analog. I want a Gyrodec but I'm not ready/willing to pay for it. Now I would like a DAC that is versatile and musical. I'm waiting for the industry to mature and get where I want them to be before I invest significant money, although that Ayre is pretty fetching.... |
| System Strengths: | Dynavector cartridge has no sibilance and great detail Clearaudio not as detailed but very warm and musical Musicality via BAT absolutely incredible--I routinely get chills listening to vinyl. Mini-2's deep, extended bass. |
| System Weaknesses: | Digital music, and in my room the Mini-2's sound like there is a slight bass hump around 40hz, though they easily reach down to 30Hz. Mini-2's could have more resolution, but I would be paying a LOT more than I am willing to right now. |
