System Goals/Comments: | Trying for top quality sound for 2-channel, integrated with a home theater setup. Spend 80% of time listening to music vs. 20% video. Most music listening is vinyl. |
System Strengths: | 2-Channel is nice, with all-analog, all-tube path for records. Digital sources are very good also. |
System Weaknesses: | Home theater audio could be improved by a subwoofer, but it isn't really necessary for music, and I am enjoying it fine without one. |
