System Goals/Comments:	I have spent thousands and thousands of dollars on equipment over the last 30 years. My current goal is to provide the most musical system for my money invested.
System Strengths:	Incredibly musical, natural sound with the LP12/Graham Slee amp 2/Goldring 1042 Best sounding system I have ever owned for the least amount of money.
System Weaknesses:	Somewhat warm sounding yet very musical. The LP12 sound is more in your face than other systems I have owned, but I prefer it to the Teres sound.
Video/HT System: Separate
