Amplifier:	Adcom 5300 with the world famous power supply mod. Love that old amp.
Preamplifier (or None if Integrated):	DIY 5-tube (all NOS tubes)
Speakers:	Magnaplanar MGII-B Crossovers put on the exterior in a wood box; high end (expensive caps and coils) with some German ribbon tweeters.
Sources:
CD Player/DAC:	Marantz DV-6200 Used mainly as a CD player. Sounds better than the Oppo in my other system.
Turntable/Phono Stage:	Technics 1200 with Rega arm. Rewired arm - wire goes from the cartridge all the way over and is soldered to the preamp board.
Other Source(s):	Internet streaming and downloading. Old laptop digital out through Pangea patchcord to HRT Pro.
Other Accessories/Room/Misc.:

Other (Power Conditioner, Racks etc.):	DIY
Tweaks:	Many
Room Size (LxWxH):	20 x 18 x 10
Room Comments/Treatments:	Room is just right for the Maggies.
Music Preferences and Comments:
Music Used (Genre/Selections):	See my other system. Believe it or not, my tastes are the same on both of them.
System Goals/Comments:	For the Maggies to transport me to a place where endorphins flow like wine. Is that trite enough? Kind of true though.
System Strengths:	Good for large scale classical as well as rock and roll.
System Weaknesses:	Of course, with Maggies, it could use a little more bass.
Video/HT System: Integrated
TV/Projector:	65" Sony something
Processor/Receiver/Amplifiers:	Cable box and Marantz DVD player
Speakers (Center, Surrounds, Sub):	See above
Sources (DVD/VCR):	Marantz DVD and $50 Blu-ray player
Other HT Gear:	None Sometimes, when I remember it, I hook up to the stereo when we watch a movie.
Comments on HT System:	Hey, it's a G-d damn TV. When I close my eyes, the sound stage on the news is so fantastic, I could touch the weather girl on her butt, but that wouldn't be PC.
Other Interests/Hobbies/Occupation:	Bike riding (on and off-road) Target shooting (yes, I wear ear protection, but probably too little, too late) Working out (weight lifting, general gym stuff) Drinking beer
