| Preamplifier (or None if Integrated): | None with Pathos. Heavily modded Bottlehead Foreplay II in closet along with NAD C 370 and PSB 4Ts. Use a NAD 3020 and PSB Alphas with Walmart Cyberhome DVD player for bedroom (great for the money!!). |

| Sources: | |
| CD Player/DAC: | Rega Apollo, Audioquest King Cobra I/C and Virtual Dynamics Power III PC |
| Turntable/Phono Stage: | Linn LP12 (circa 1986; yes, I'm that old; and no, it's not hard to keep the suspension tuned) with Origin Live DC motor advanced upgrade (yes, it's a worthwhile upgrade), new belt, springs, grommets, no Cirkus, Ittok VII (needs rewire probably) and AT150mlx, all on a target wall mount shelf; AES PH-1 Phonostage with oil caps and Sylvannia VT-229 tubes. 1/2M Kimber KCAG between phono stage and amp |

| Music Used (Genre/Selections): | Only the best! Mostly jazz and classical (Modern and Post-modern) and rock (Richard Thompson, Peter Case, Stones, Blodwyn Pig, anything good!), and real country: Steve Earle, Lucinda Williams, Townes Van Zandt, etc., etc., etc. Oh, and blues. |
| System Goals/Comments: | Enjoy what I have. Rewire Ittok. Do I really need a better subwoofer? |
| System Strengths: | Plays all types of music well. (Really--that is so important!) Good three-dimensionality, tone and pacing. Vivid sounding. Sounds alive. Very involving. I never feel critical when listening! (I hope I never eat those words--because I have so many times over the last 30 years.) |
| System Weaknesses: | Not too much. Maybe bigger speakers and super-masculine amps for better full orchestra classical but even that I'm not sure of. |
