Music Used (Genre/Selections): classic jazz (50's and 60's), female vocals, chamber music, solo classical pieces
System Goals/Comments: My goal is smoothness and refinement. Detail without harshness. Detail that does not distract from the entire musical experience. I think I may have found it with this setup.... my first tubes.
System Strengths: Great tube sound for a small price. Smooth vocals. Speakers are ones around which I can build.
