System Goals/Comments:	I continue to be amazed by the the sound quality of well-mixed stereo and multichannel SACDs.
System Strengths:	EAD PM1000 is amazing; Kharmas have huge soundstage in a largish room. The Koetsu Urushi Black is an amazing cartridge and transformed my vinyl front end. Addition of the Kharma Center speaker has greatly increased MCH sound quality
System Weaknesses:	The biggest remaining weakness in my system is my room. It also serves as a living room, which means it has windows, furniture in acoustically incorrect positions, a large TV and stand. All affect sound quality
