| Last Update: March 01, 2005 at 10:40:33 | IP Address: 204.130.104.10 |

| Preamplifier (or None if Integrated): | None. |
| Speakers: | Polk Monitor 12 (Speaker A) |
| Sources: | |
| CD Player/DAC: | Marantz CC-65se 5-disc carousel |
| Turntable/Phono Stage: | Technics SL-D35 (direct drive fully automatic), with original Audio Technica p-mount cartridge, elliptical stylus |
| Other Accessories/Room/Misc.: | |
| Speaker Cables/Interconnects: | generic 12-gauge wire |
| Other (Power Conditioner, Racks etc.): | Metro shelving rack. Receiver gets its own shelf, and the turntable is on top of the CD player, which is on top of an old non-working Macintosh II computer. |
| Tweaks: | 'Cunningham Farms' (now out of business) milk crate speaker stands for the Monitor 12s. Heavyweight plastic, with the metal band around the open end that enhances rigidity. |

| Room Comments/Treatments: | Rug on the floor, two sofas, one big soft armchair. |
| Music Preferences and Comments: | |
| Music Used (Genre/Selections): | Rock, ska, blues, folk. |
| System Goals/Comments: | A good rock-solid livingroom system. The Polk Monitor 12s and the EPI 105s make for some interesting a/b comparisons. |
| System Strengths: | Excellent cheap vintage stereo. Total system cost (without the home theater below): $700 (mostly for the CD changer and speakers) |
| System Weaknesses: | More volume available than my downstairs neighbors or landlords will tolerate. |
| Video/HT System: Separate | |
| TV/Projector: | Sony 32' trinitron |
| Processor/Receiver/Amplifiers: | Sony GA7ES |
| Speakers (Center, Surrounds, Sub): | EPI 120c (main L+R) Polk CS400 (center) (good match for the EPI tweeters) EPI A70 (surround L&R) |
| Sources (DVD/VCR): | Sony DVP-S7000 |
| Comments on HT System: | This system is actually located in my dining room, but I didn't want to make a whole separate entry for it. My philosophy on HT was to create something inexpensive yet likeable, because I listen to much more music than I watch movies or tv. to The Sony receiver is lousy, but free to me on loan. This system is planned to be upgraded over time. |
| Other Interests/Hobbies/Occupation: | Technical theater, motorcycling, obsolete computing, cryptography. |
