Amplifier:	Set of newly fabricated UL push-pull tube mono-blocks based on the Dynaco Mark III, lower power Bottlehead S.E.X. SET tube amp for headphones.
Preamplifier (or None if Integrated):	Bryston BP25

Sources:
CD Player/DAC:	Ah! Njoe Tjob 4000
Turntable/Phono Stage:	Fairly tweaked Rega Planar 3, Bellari VP129, AT MLX150 cart
Other Source(s):	H.H. Scott 350B FM tuner
Other Accessories/Room/Misc.:
Speaker Cables/Interconnects:	CAT5 DIY speaker cables based on Chris Venhaus. interconnects are mostly Homegrown Audio silver woven.
Other (Power Conditioner, Racks etc.):	Moster HT1000 I believe. Not 100% sure I have that model # right.
Room Comments/Treatments:	Old cottage house in beach community with suspended floor which can certainly "light up" at higher volumes.
Music Preferences and Comments:
Music Used (Genre/Selections):	Too many to list.
System Goals/Comments:	Nothing significant at this time. Would like to eventually build a set of high efficiency speakers to really see what the S.E.X. amp can do.
System Strengths:	Very musical, great detail in bass, treble not overtly etched which makes listening for hours very comfortable.
System Weaknesses:	Old house 2-wire system, and as a result, do have a little ground hum. Pretty low level, but once other chores on the list are wiped out, I may attend to this.
Video/HT System: None
