| System Goals/Comments: | Good low-level resolution Depth and presence to unamplified instruments and voice - sound of a real event heard through an open window - enjoyment for wife and son at hearing their favorites played well. |
| System Strengths: | 1. Very realistic on human voice, woodwinds, small jazz ensembles, chamber music. 2. Doesn't take up a lot of space. 3. Sometimes I forget it's there when its on. |
| System Weaknesses: | Inconsistent sound from day to day; tube equipment requires a full test bench and lots of spares to maintain; need better speakers (which is why i'm planning to get the Zus). |
| Video/HT System: None | |
