PC is right, With the combo of Rega, Dynavector, Naim, Dynaudio, and REL I have pieced together system of components that are all very neutral and very fast, resulting in great PRaT. If you want a single system for all kinds of music, this is a good approach to take.
Yep, and I knew things were on the right track for my friend Rob when he started literally tapping his toes while listening to the Illinois Jacquet "Swing's the Thing" LP!
