| Other (Power Conditioner, Racks etc.): | Monster Cable Power Conditioner. 2' thick marble base for TT. |
| Room Size (LxWxH): | 11 x 11 x 8 |
| Room Comments/Treatments: | Small room stuffed to the gills with LPs, books, and Cds. Carpeted. Primarily an analog room, listen to LPs or copy to CD |
| Music Preferences and Comments: | |
| Music Used (Genre/Selections): | Folk rock, Rock, rockabilly, Alt. country, jazz, blues, brit invasion/60's, indie rock, pop rock |
| System Goals/Comments: | eventually upgrade TT and cartridge ($1000 budget), sell Lux and get used separates ($1000 budget), |
| System Strengths: | Wonderful, speakers (given their price points) . Both sets have good/very good imaging & detail retreival, w/solid bass. |
| System Weaknesses: | Sound can be a little congested in the highs with music with lots of energy above 5k or therebouts. A much larger room would be a tremendous improvement . Seating is limited to off axis (comfortable seating that is). A blacker back ground for LP listening is my next step up, which would involve a truly modern hi end table. This Yammy is real good for its time tho |
| Video/HT System: Integrated | |
| TV/Projector: | 32' Toshiba standard Def. |
| Processor/Receiver/Amplifiers: | Onkyo TXDS575, 70WPC, no S-Video pass thru:( |

| Sources (DVD/VCR): | Samsung dual deck combo Hi Fi VCR and DVD Sony SL 1200 Beta Hi Fi VCR |
| Other HT Gear: | Dish receiver |
| Comments on HT System: | Large room, 17'x22'x10' high. Running at a reference listening level of 54 (out of 70) this combination fills the room with near theater like levels. I'm very pleased and upgrades will be minor other than a hi def TV. I WILL get a new receiver with S-video input/output but it will be similar in quality to this unit. Oh yea, a new center channel speaker that would be a solid step up from the NHT super center is a must. Vocals could definitely be clearer (or my hearing could be better). |
| Other Interests/Hobbies/Occupation: | Tennis, golf, fishing, movies, food/wine/travel |
