Sources: | |
CD Player/DAC: | Sony SCD-777ES |
Turntable/Phono Stage: | The TT and LPs are stacked away bacause of lack or space. It makes me cry every time I look att the boxes of some 1k LPs. |

Other Accessories/Room/Misc.: | |

Room Size (LxWxH): | 4.7m x 4.1m x 2.7m |
Room Comments/Treatments: | Almost square! What can I say...sucks. Someday I'm gonna build some of Risch's tube traps. I suffer from the lazy man's syndrome so who knows when that will happen :) Due to the small size of the apartment, the listening room is just packed with books and stuff, which works out pretty well, he he. |
Music Preferences and Comments: | |
Music Used (Genre/Selections): | Hmmm...everything except hip-hop, techno, rap, whining country, and opera. Primarily blues and jazz though. |
System Goals/Comments: | The best compromise I can get between detail, soundstage and tonality |
System Strengths: | Great detail and soundstage width. Low mids and upwards are excellent. |
System Weaknesses: | Boomy bass, soundstage depth. Not enough space for proper distance between speakers and rear wall. Also, a 32" widescreen TV sits slightly behind and between the speakers. I know, not very good but its all a compromise. |
