| Room Comments/Treatments: | Medium sized loungeroom |
| Music Preferences and Comments: | |
| Music Used (Genre/Selections): | Classic rock, especially prog, and classical. |
| System Goals/Comments: | I prefer a warm analog type of sound rather than a highly detailed stark type of sound, and my comments on the forum will reflect this. I listen almost exclusively to CD ripped to FLAC on a PC, with just a few needledrops of LP's unavailable on well-mastered CD. Also I can't stand compression, poor EQ and NR (I am a Hoffman forum member). |
| System Strengths: | Transparency, lack of digital glare and other artifacts. Smoothness and warmth. Dynamics. |
| System Weaknesses: | Not the ultimate in detail, but the Havana is excellent in this respect for a NOS DAC. |
| Video/HT System: None | |
