Music Used (Genre/Selections): Cool jazz, chamber, symphonic, alternative, female vocal, 70s punk, etc
System Goals/Comments: I've been patient -- I don't like shelling out a lot of money, and the system has been collected from various sources. Most components have been scrounged from estate sales and eBay. I've had the turntable since '77.

System Weaknesses: (1) Room; (2) Polks need more bass; (3) want a belt drive TT!
