| Music Preferences and Comments: | |
| Music Used (Genre/Selections): | Good music is good music regardless of the genre, so I'll listen to just about anything, but my faves are - Heavy Metal, blues, classical, alternative country, alt, reggae, rap, classic rock, punk. |
| System Goals/Comments: | I'd like my system to be versatile enough to play just about any genre of music, in a non-fatiguing, transparent and well-paced manner...at a reasonable cost, of course. It also must ROCK HARD on command! |
| System Strengths: | It makes beautiful music. |
| System Weaknesses: | Not a headphone jack in sight. It's hard to keep the volume down at night! |
| Video/HT System: Separate | |
| TV/Projector: | RCA 27' |

| Comments on HT System: | It's mostly for my stunningly fabulous 5-yr. old daughter to watch dvds on. It's overkill really, for a 2-channel HT system. The picture actually looks sharper since plugging it in to the HTPS 7000. The Toshiba makes a decent backup cdp as well JIC. |
