System Goals/Comments: | I want a system where the soundstage almost envelopes you - a sort of an 'I'm in there' feeling. I get in there now more often than I used to, but it always could be better. |
System Strengths: | Vinyl front end getting better and better. My DIY speakers are awesome (compared to what I had). As the LP12 tweaks continue improving the speakers seem up to it. Soundstage and slam seem to be getting better and better. |
System Weaknesses: | Happy now but I'm sure this will change. There is always more to spend, more to tweak! |
