System Goals/Comments:	To get that full weighty(no, MIGHTY) sound from ALL I play with VINYL. .(recording quality permitting)I hate thin sounds .I want to hear a 3d soundstage(where poss.) with attack and natural sounding instruments instruments. Good double bass sound on jazz. Old US pop singles from early 60's sound amazing if they are done right. I want to unlock the FULL sound from the old ALBUMS.Still working on that one.CD's more or less take care of themselves.
System Strengths:	Tri amping can sound excellent/amazing.Likes a good front end signal though.
System Weaknesses:	Tri amping can also leave you out on a limb.(a bit)Custom built system.Unique to ones self.Difficult to relate to anyone elses' system.Electonic x-overs can be fiddly to set up correctly.
