Music Preferences and Comments: | |

System Goals/Comments: | i'm 17 years old, and all my stuff is in my small bedroom in my parents basement! maybe a situation many of you have been in.. so i guess a goal would be getting good sound in my limited space. |
System Strengths: | low budget! pieced together, my system probably has cost me around $150/200 canadian over the last few years of changing stuff out, quite happy with it for what it is. i have no problem listening to many sides in a row, no fatigue here. |
System Weaknesses: | turntables got some grounding issues that pop up once in a while, switch went on the amp so its jumpered across and controlled from a powerbar.. this is a very budget system all be told, and in comparison to very high priced setups it tends to sound like one. not quite as detailed/precise sounding as other higher end setups i've heard. |
Video/HT System: None | |
Other Interests/Hobbies/Occupation: | i'm into longboarding, mountain biking, cooking, bicycle touring, hiking, playing acoustic and electric guitars, reading (copious amounts i might add), snowboarding, basic electronics repair, i'll try almost anything. i've got a pile of electronics, the working stuff is: pioneer sx-5, pioneer tx-600, infinity rs-1000s, a pioneer pl-1150 with a busted grado mt+. projects, in the form of dead/dying components, are: pioneer SA-6500, kenwood DP-R99 5disc changer, Kenwood KA-219, akai gx-a5x, kenwood kr-5150, pioneer pd-4100, yamaha cdx-520, akai at-a301, pioneer ct-f500, kenwood kt-59 |
