Mcintosh MX120 for theater
This processor is not able to use with Audessy Pro. That is the key to go to another planet. The latest Mcintosh are with Lyngdorf's acoustic system. The people I know who own this do not use it. They say: it is not a good system, it makes sound w... 
Mcintosh MX120 for theater
The last few months we sold a lot of Onkyo PR-SC 5509 with Audessey pro. The funny thing is we sell it also to people who only play stereo. They had much more expensive 2 channel preamps. At the end the best results sell. It is that easy. I owned ... 
Nordost Brahma vs Heimdall 2 power cords
I owned Valhalla loudspeakercable and Valhalla powercabels. And I sold a lot of Valhalla and other Nordost cables. Beside this I did hundreds of Nordost tests. For me Nordost is predictable as 1 and 1=2. Realism in sound the Valhalla is a lot bett...

Cables more hype than value?
forward sound is 2 dimensional sound. There are cables of can mess up a wide and deep stage. The same about amps. sources and speakers. That is why I learn my clients the difference between 2 dimensional and 3 dimensional sound. I never had a clie...

I know all the different Audyssey levels. But Audyssey Pro is the one which sets it to a level what impress many people. We use Onkyo for Surround. because brands like Marantz, Denon, Cambridge, Nad ( which I sold for a long period) are all 2 dime...

Avalon Acoustics vs Wilson Audio
In 2009 I had the chanche to listen to the Wilson Audio Alexandria 2 with my own music for 1,5 hours. It was with Ayre's most expensive power amps/pre, most expensive Transpanrent cables and the most expensive Wadia. I thought I will start with Ni...

10 years ago I always had big 2-channel highend systems without a sub. We sold the more expensive Rel sub's. But for me they were too slow and I did not like the focus wenn it was used. XT-32 was the first system I found 2 channel with a sub good ...

I am a person who is always looking for the best options. Wenn there is a new system and better system this will be the next brand to focus at. I am interested in excelent quality. Every tool ( cable, source, speaker etc) I use I want to be sure t... 
What HDMI Cable ?
The Diamond is stunning in both 2 and multi chanel. Best natural sound I ever heard from a hdmi cable. Also the sharp focus makes it different compared to others. It also makes a deep and wide stage. Most other cables are a lot less deep and wide....

It is just about what I can hear. Wenn voices and instruments are better focussed and more separated it is more easy to follow. Let's go back to the XP-20. What it does compared to less expensive pre-amps is making a bigger and wider stage. This l... 
Avalon Acoustics vs Wilson Audio
The thing I noticed with Wilson Audio speakers is that most of this people had a lot of acoustic problems. Even with very musical amps classical music did not sound as it should be. Depth is ok, but there are enough speakers which do this better. ...

I drink seldom alcohol by the way. Here the differences between Pro and XT32- sound of Pro is a lot more natural- low freq are more tight, go deeper and are more defined.- instruments and voices are better focussed and more 3d. - there is more dep...

We did a Pro measurement last Thursday. Before the measurement we listen to some cd's. After the measurement we listened to the same music again. Audyssey Volume and EQ do a lot in resolution. We measure at a different height and different place w...
