| System Goals/Comments: |  Natural sounding sound... realistic music reproduction that's so involving, you just don't want it to stop. |
| System Strengths: | Very musical, dynamic and natural. It's a foot tapper that's difficult to stop listening to. Great sound stage and imaging. The APL 2900 has amazing bass and lower end detail and seems to extract more information from discs than any other player I've used. The UA-S1 is extremely linear and very relaxed in it's presentation. |
