You forgot something! You forgot to tell us about the most important part of the system. Hint: If you're like most of us, it's the most expensive part (possibly barring the specially constructed room). What about the media? No, I'm not kidding. What sort of music do you play on this system? Do you have any particularly fine examples of that music? You see, if someone asks about my audio system, I may say a few special things about my preamp or amp, both of which I think sound exceptional and are fine pieces of engineering besides. But when it comes to talking about the real "system as a whole" I'm probably more interested in telling them about the amazing work with the Beast on Dafos, or what a strange collection there is on Seastones, or perhaps letting someone listen to very unusual versions of Positively 4th Street and The Harder They Come from the Live at Keystone album recorded in 1975. I'd gladly go for a system that cost 20% less before I'd do without some of the albums and tapes I have today. -- Dick Dunn {hao,ucbvax,allegra}!nbires!rcd (303)444-5710 x3086 ...Cerebus for dictator!
