Unfortunately with all this planning you never know what its going to sound like until you actually turn it on for the first time.

True, but the fidelity on all those old exotica and hapa haole records is fairly low, so I don't think it matters too terribly much except with newer recordings. But with the volume low, fidelity is lost anyway. My biggest issue has been keeping the volume of each track relatively consistent so that one song isn't soft and the next one jumps out at you. Itunes is good for that with its ability to set individual track levels and save them. And, for me anyway, getting the volume just right is so important. I want it low enough that people can talk without having to shout, but high enough that they can actually listen to the music if they want to.
