Music Preferences and Comments:
Music Used (Genre/Selections):	Sleazy 70s Rock a la The Stones, New Wave/Synth with soul, female jazz vocalists (Nina Simone, Dinah Washington, Ella Fitzgerald)
System Goals/Comments:	After hearing a coworkers vintage tube amp and audiophile turntable setup, I realized how much I missed the sound of vinyl. I want to acheive a smoother and more organic sound than seems to be available with modern equipment. To this end I am trying to piece together a warm, vibrant and musical system. I am willing to try just about anything in the mix, but I would love to have a Scott 299C as the heart of the system with a Thorens turntable/Grado cartridge supplying the music.
System Strengths:	My 2240 receiver sounds and looks fantastic and the Klipsch RB-3 speakers present sounds and instruments I've never heard before in some of my favorite songs. The Pro-Ject 1.2 is so sweet...and a super deal at only $40cdn.
System Weaknesses:	still don't have a tube amp...but looking
Video/HT System: None
