System Goals/Comments:	Will get back into analog, maybe get a new transport/DAC, Build new speakers with either Accutons or Mangers, perhaps some small line arrays. Upgrade my electronic XO. Checking out other amps too.
System Strengths:	Midrange to-die-for, very transparent, a soundstage that renders my walls invisible, hypnotic
System Weaknesses:	Room has lots of hard surfaces, SMGa might be showing signs of age -- lacks a bit of sparkle compared to the new QRs, lack of analog section, listening chair not the most comfortable and no cup holder. System makes me lose track of time a lot.
