System Goals/Comments: | Urgh, now I have the DIY bug and am looking at Bottlehead separates. I'm headed on a dangerous path... but the SETs are calling. |
System Strengths: | The HK integrated sounds wonderful. Great mid-range and decent volume. I still love the Ohms, and really like the smoothness of the "new" old thorens. |
System Weaknesses: | Not really happy with the Grado. Feel duped by the Grado ravers and catalogs. Should have saved up for an MC. That'll be my next move. |
