Music Preferences and Comments:
Music Used (Genre/Selections):	Selected Classical, Traditional Christian, Choral. We totally avoid all contemporary 'Christian' music, rock, rap and other occult 'music,' some of which even infiltrates classical because of the destructive influence such counterfeit music has.
System Goals/Comments:	Truth, reality and accuracy in duplicating live music. I want to add music to my family life and will not become a prisoner of a listening chair or allow listening to music to hinder or replace interpersonal relationships.
System Strengths:	This system more than exceeds all my early expectations of what a system would be able achieve. I publically express my gratefulness to God for allowing me to fulfill and enjoy this dream of 35 years in the making!
System Weaknesses:	No matter how good any system is, one is still at the mercy of the quality of the recording which affects sound more than ANY system component except possibly the speakers and listening room.
Video/HT System: None
Other Interests/Hobbies/Occupation:	Helping others discover their need for The Savior too and the satisfying, abundant Life He provides! Please email me and I will send you a story about Him!
