|
| Music Preferences and Comments:
|
| Music Used (Genre/Selections): | In the final throes of audiophilia, I am concentrating on Jazz (whatever that means!) but also groove on classic rock, blues, vocals, R & B
|
| System Goals/Comments: | if I can ever afford it, would probably replace the tube DAC with a solid state one, just because tubes can be a nuisance
|
| System Strengths: | The Ayre is a very nice pre-amp, it's my best piece. Also the big B & W speakers although hideous looking, sound really fine.
|

|
| Video/HT System:
None
|
| Other Interests/Hobbies/Occupation: | quit practicing medicine to figure skate more, read (mostly non-fiction these days; good S.F. if I can find it) and grow flowers
