System Goals/Comments: Balanced tonal & frequency response. Resolution, soundstaging high priorities (maggie's are great for this)
Sub investigations ongoing - looking for greater deep bass without effecting immediacy & tonal balance
System Strengths: Great dynamics, resolution & immediacy of the live event. Realistic air of the recorded space and soundstage size & precision.
System Weaknesses: Sources still developing - BDP-105 OK but hoping to upgrade DAC. Gradually moving into Hi Res computer audio.
TT upgrade also required to get best from Cart (& rest of system)
