| Music Preferences and Comments: | |

| System Goals/Comments: | Always looking to upgrade vinyl playback, perpetually searching for better cart, arm, and table.
|
| System Strengths: | (Almost) ALL ANALOG!!! Very precise but mellow presentation with extremely good resolution and high-end extension. |
| System Weaknesses: | Room is oddly shaped, being basically a square with half an octogon coming off one corner. Too difficult to describe in 'Room Size' category. Makes for very bizarre acoustic characteristics. |
| Video/HT System: None | |
| Other Interests/Hobbies/Occupation: | I collect vintage equipment, and am going the \\\\\\'thrifty\\\\\\' route; I buy most equipment at thrift stores, yard sales, and auctions. I also get all my vinyl through similar sources. I do many mechanical, and some electronic, repairs, as well as some tweaks, to the equipment I acquire. Other interests include mountain biking and general outdoors activities (gotta love that \\\\\\'West-coast lifestyle\\\\\\'!) |
