Gawd, I'll bet you all will get a big laugh out of how "low-end" my
system is, but it actually sounds pretty good to me. What's more,
other people tell me how good it sounds to them, too.

Dynaco PAT-4 preamp
Dynaco ST70 power amp
KLH "Rave" speakers
Garrard SL65B turntable with Stanton 500 cartridge
Magnavox CD changer from WalMart
Fry's Electronics "Great Quality" (Chinese) computer with stock cheapie
sound card.

Maybe I'm crazy, but I'm satisfied with the system for the time being.
The only problem worth mentioning is that, since I replaced the solid
state power amp I was previously using with the ST70, I find that the
ST70 has such good bass response that I can hear rumble from the
turntable for the first time. Not bad enough to make me buy an
expensive turntable, though.
