System Description::	This system does a fairly impressive job with just about every type of music I choose to play. I previously owned a system with a Cary 300SEI, and found that it did not seem to take well to harder rock music. I now get equal soundstaging, added bass quality level, and an adequate sound from acoustic music. Certainly not as liquid as a WE300B, but the 6H30 "supertube" is extremely versatile. There are some recordings that push the limits of "dryness", but there are many more that make it clear you are listening to a tubed preamp.
Music Preferences: List All:	Acoustic-rock would be the simplest categorization. Beatles,Neil Finn, Aimee Mann, Elvis Costello, Mark Knopfler are favorites. Avid collector of newly remastered CDs that were originally released as poor-sounding. Fleetwood Mac, Paul Simon, John Lennon, and early Elton John are examples. Some jazz recordings; Jimmy Scott, Diana Krall (more for system testing than enjoyment w/Krall).
