| Room Size (LxWxH): | 20 x 12 x 8 |
| Room Comments/Treatments: | New flat is full concrete construction so no boom, but the room is an odd shape so it's a bit of a mess sonically, but useable. |
| Music Preferences and Comments: | |
| Music Used (Genre/Selections): | Rock, pop, 80s, cheesy, disco, basically almost anything barring 'audiophile' recordings - a bit of a waste of a reasonable system really |
| System Goals/Comments: | I need to upgrade to a high output MC cartridge (I broke the last one I had hence back to Ortofon 5xx MMs for now) and ultimately I either want a Garrard 401/arm off my deck, or a Rega P9, and am planning to upgrade/replace my CDP with either the current version of the Planet or a Naim CD5i if they ever come out!!! |
| System Strengths: | Speed, musicality (the system doesn't draw too much attention to itself considering how cheap it is compared to some systems out there - except for CD being, well, CD), looks cool in its own way |
| System Weaknesses: | Not enough time to listen to the system!! |
| Video/HT System: Integrated | |
| TV/Projector: | Housemate's 28 inch widescreen (still not big enough) - think it's a Mitsubishi but it's just titled "Black Diamond) |

| Speakers (Center, Surrounds, Sub): | Rega Kyte rears (no room for desired Mordaunt-Short dipoles in current house), Paradigm CC170 centre, no sub (can't get one in sensible price territory that can keep up with the Elas. |
| Sources (DVD/VCR): | Pioneer 656A multiregion DVD player, Philips Matchline 805 NICAM VHS, Pioneer CLD310 Laserdisc |
| Other HT Gear: | Philips ProntoNeo learning remote |
| Comments on HT System: | OK; it's only AV though so not critical IMHO. |
