Room Size

Flipp'n small (13x15)

System Overview

I've choosen components that are accurate while still musically engaging and will move me. The heart of this are the Sason's which are the ultimate truth tellers. I get to hear a lot of different speakers and I've heard nothing to date that I would trade for these. That includes any of the Magico's, kharma's or Raidho's. My main source is the old, outdated LP. Too much stuff never issued on CD to think about switching now. I do buy CD's but only for those items that are not on LP.

Music Preferences

Classical 90%, Jazz 5%, Pop/Rock 5%

Room Description

Small 13x15 which with record racks, is closer to square.

Media Storage

Home made LP racks that house about 3500 lps in this room. All total, the collection numbers about 5 to 6k. For CD's, I used storage from Ikea.
