Deciding between Yamaha or Marantz
With the 5010 I can get a very deep and wide stage. The stage of the 750 is so much smaller. These days I only focus and sell a 3 Dimensional sound. Most 2 dimensional products I only use to let my clients understand the difference in stage betwee...

I sold Arcam for over 8 years of time. I realy like the products they make. A few years ago I went to Arcam in England for a few days. Very nice people. But the level with an Onkyo TX-NR5010 with my own way of Audyssey Pr measurement is superior t...

I sold Arcam for over 8 years of time. It has a very musical sound, but does not give the level of depth and wide of the Onkyo and Integra. There is almost no depth. And there is no roomcorrection. With Audyssey Pro you can get a superior level in...

Many sets at shows and also at clients are often incomplete. So I explain them what is missing. When they hear my set at home it is quite easy to understand what is missing. I change part for part in there set to make them understand what it does....

Janos Starker/ Bach Suites; I use it to demonstrate the sound realism of a cello and also the small proportion and palpable image of the cello.Diana Krall/The girl in the other room/ Almost blue; again for the sound of the Steinway she uses and fo...

The Marantz has the option to use Audyssey pro as well. The difference between XT32 and our way of Audyssey Pro is so big. Like you bought an amp which is 2-3 the amount. It is so much more natural sounding, like you bought a class A amp. There is...

Integra DHC-80.3 is the same as Onkyo PR-SC5509. 
What to upgrade?
I have sold many Rel subwoofers in the past. To be honnest I never found them or other subwoofers good enough for stereo use. I thought many times about full stealth inegration with the speakers. I never thought that this would be possible. At the...

I owned the Pass Labs XP-20 for over 2 years of time. I have over 3 years of experience with Audyssey. With my way of measurement with Audyssey pro I beat my old XP-20 with my Pass Labs poweramp. The Onkyo PR-SC5509 with Audyssey pro is stunning. ... 
Speaker cable for Wilson sophia and Pass labs X250
You need a cable which can give a very small and palpable image. Because your speakers and amps give both a wide and deep stage but lack a touchable image. Audioquest is with DBS72 one of the best or even the best in a small and palpable image. In... 
Focal Diablo / Utopia III breakin really long?
How loud do you play during breaking in? Also Avalon can have an extreme brake in. In owned a Meridian 800. The first one I bought needed 6 weeks of breaking in 24 hours a day. The sound was harsh and it needed 6 weeks before it was gone. I also t...

I sold Marantz for a very long period. In the past I loved it a lot. But during time Marantz started to use less expensive parts in there sources and amps. This changed the sound i the lower price range Marantz works. They use quite small transfor...

One of my best friends uses Avalon speakers and all his cables were from MIT. He bought them because people said these are the best cables for your speakers. He believed them, but now he understands that it is based on nothing. It was very easy to...
