Amplifier:	both Tube & SS
Preamplifier (or None if Integrated):	DIY tube and SS, also have Aphex devices for, god forbid, tone control. They are studio devices and do NOT change the phase
Speakers:	Long time Quad57's owner & swarm type subs, regular speaker cloth on the Quads no metal grills. No better midrange than 57's but you already know that, RIGHT?
Sources:
CD Player/DAC:	Various, Rotel, Alesis Studio Masterlink Player/Recorder/Hard drive for storage of copies and original music
Turntable/Phono Stage:	2 tables, nice MC carts, and commercial & DIY tube phono stages
Other Source(s):	Real instruments - been a playing/working musician since 4 years old (started w/piano), ears are still measuring well because I've always protected them. WHAT ABOUT YOU?
Other Accessories/Room/Misc.:
Speaker Cables/Interconnects:	Morrow silver, Kimber 4tc, interconnects are various DIY OFC and Silver
Other (Power Conditioner, Racks etc.):	20amp separate circuit installed in listening room from new breaker box, and a voltage regulator because of LOUSY NJ power service
Tweaks:	Mapleshade Silclear, Deoxit
Room Size (LxWxH):	25 ft x 16 ft x 7 ft
Room Comments/Treatments:	it's a room not an audio only room. I position the speakers to within a few mm's, makes a large difference in time alignment with stats
Music Preferences and Comments:
Music Used (Genre/Selections):	All genre's except opera & rap
System Goals/Comments:	after owning horns and many other speakers, Quad 57's and Stats are where it's at and only a long-time owner knows this
System Strengths:	lots of music
System Weaknesses:	time to listen
Video/HT System: Separate
TV/Projector:	just a basic Samsung, I'm not into home theatre and don't give a crap
Speakers (Center, Surrounds, Sub):

Comments on HT System:	wife has my old Altec Valencia's; my serious system is for serious listening
