Dick’s Comments:

General:

“I'll say that I've never heard things that are present in songs I've listened to a lot before.  I'll work on a way to describe it.  Everything is so balanced, everything is there, the super tweeters have presented some things I'm surprised I can still hear after working around aircraft all these years.  The bass is very musical and balanced and I notice a lot more about it than I have before.  Past systems I've had, I guess just gave me loud mud.   I think I've died and gone to audio heaven.

The Aranya finish on the Symphonic Lines are extraordinary.  They are reflective like chrome or mirror, but darker metal.

The preamp and CD are both heavier then they look,  they also have external power supplies.”

Future Plans:

“I am certain that my system can always be improved upon in some manner, however, I doubt my hearing will be able to detect it after working around aircraft all these years.  I suppose improvements can be attained with room acoustics and the listening environment.

I'm not sure I'll make any changes unless Herr Gemein redesigns some of  the electronics and offers them as upgrades.   My major change will be when I finally quit traveling and build a house that's made for music.”
