Music Preferences and Comments:
Music Used (Genre/Selections):	difficult to pin down, but I seem to play somethings more often than others: early Western(Janequin), late 60's+ jazz(Shepp, Threadgill, etc.), Eno+, RecRec stuff, Les Paul and Delmore Brothers... Oh, and Amon Tobin too
System Goals/Comments:	I really think I'll build myself some speakers... sometime ;)
System Strengths:	Not too costly and not fatiguing either. Tubed, but not tizzy nor syrupy: rolling tubes really cuts out the component swapping ...especially now with the SLI-80
System Weaknesses:	The system position(room) is poor, but acceptable. Running the SLI-80 in triode mode puts music in the room nicely
Video/HT System: None
