My name is Dan Cornett. I live in Long Island, NY. My room dimensions are 22 by 27.  I listen to top 40 music, 80s pop, Dance music and instrumentals. I have 500 CDs and 1500 Records.  2 good songs to evaluate my speakers are Betty Davis Eyes by Kim Carnes and Its a beautiful Life by Ace of Base.   I would describe the Betas as sounding very sweet and silky with an amazing soundstage.  My Audion Ultimate CD Player sounds very soft and mellow.  The Scott Wilkes Tube Amps have that nice tube sound. The transformers on them are really built. They uses 6550 Tubes.  I plan on getting the Ayre V1 Amp to replace the Macintosh 2205 Amps.  My speaker cables are great. The Tara Labs Temporal continuum and the Custom House Benchmark Audio MK II Cables sound  very natural.  I also like the Solid Core Technology Interconnects for 129 a  meter by Stewart Grand.
