I enjoy the heck out of my system. It fits my tastes perfectly -- a system that offers up three-dimensionality, unforced, natural tone quality, and that doesn't have to play very loudly to get this. I truly don't need a lot of volume, anyway.. 85db peaks are all I need for a good time. True, I've had my share of components that went belly-up over the years, but I guess that's par for the course. I've had cartridges that could no longer track. Turntables that began to suffer from bearing noise and that developed wow. Tone arms that got sticky. CD players that just up & died. Last but not least, I must say that listening quality took a substantial leap when I buiilt a house with a special, dedicated stereo room.
