System Goals/Comments:	Always going for musical involvement - PRAT I guess, a sense of ease and space, and the beautiful texture of voices and instruments.
System Strengths:	Vinyl system is involving, fun, detailed, textured, eloquent, with great imaging. CD also has fun factor and boogies! Mac Mini sounds very good, especially with HD files.
