Music Preferences and Comments:
Music Used (Genre/Selections):	Folk, blues, progressive rock, classic rock, a little jazz, techno, old shit, new shit, you name it!
System Goals/Comments:	Goal is a nice vintage system with powerful bottom end, and detailed highs, warm and rounded midrange. Think we got it :)
System Strengths:	This system will pound a kick drum right in your gut, and that punch has a lot of descriptive detail unlike a solid state system. The two seperate mono pre amps along with the level III Citation mod, produces wonderful separation..
System Weaknesses:	This system will not treat average recordings or poorly produced recordings with any forgiveness. Certain recordings that sound good on mid-fi systems are ruthlessly played back on this system. It only reproduces what's there. If the recording has crappy engineering or compression, the system won't warm it over..
Video/HT System: None
