| Music Used (Genre/Selections): | A little bit of everything, although orchestral / movie soundtracks, female vocalists and light jazz are my current heavy rotation |
| System Goals/Comments: | Good sound for cheap -- most everything was purchased used, and those items that were purchased new were less than $1500 (the Sapphire III LEs are the most expensive part of my system by far). No other componenet comes near $500 (over even $400, for that matter). Good sound doesn't have to be expensive! |
