Music Preferences and Comments:
Music Used (Genre/Selections):	British Invasion, especially The Beatles. Recently finished collecting original black and yellow Parlophone LPs, mostly 1st pressings (my gems)!
System Goals/Comments:	To create an open, dynamic and natural sounding system.
System Strengths:	Gaincard running on dual mono mode - a vast improvement over the single power supply setup. Analog section, with Miyabi/47 cartridge, sounds fresh and incredibly dynamic - midrange magic! Digital section also improved with Flatfish and Progression getting their own power supply. Finally analog trounces digital! I think - this is it!
System Weaknesses:	No deep bass but doesn't stop me from enjoying the system.
Video/HT System: None
