Quality of the Stereophile Recording CDs on webs?
I have tried their Beethoven Piano pieces and I enjoy them a great deal and play them quite frequently. I find they are great background music to work to. The recording are good, though I'm not sure though that I would enthuse about the tone of th... 
Bybee's filters
Dan Wright of ModWright installed them in my player, but since he did a lot of other work at the same time it's hard to say how much was them and how much was the other work he performed. I'm thinking of having them put into my amps right now just... 
Budget CD / DVD or D/A solution
I had Dan do work on a Pioneer 38a for me and I can attest to what a huge improvement his work can make. Before Dan it was pretty bad as a CD player, very two dimensional and not much like music at all, after his work it's a wonderful player with ...

Feedback on legacy sig III speakers?
I have a couple pair of the Legacy Classics I use for music and home theater and I love them. They do require a beefy amp to keep the bottom end under control (Your Sig III's will probably be easier because of the design). I use Sunfire Cinema Gra...

One more dissenting opinion on The Analog Room. 
What companies have gone above and beyond?
All three of these companies have been very good to me on customer service matters.Sunfire - They replaced a Theater Grand II I bought with a brand new one with full warranty, when I bought it from a grey marketer who was pretending to be a certif... 
Sunfire Theater Gand II vs. B&K Ref. 30?
Hi Jeff, I am not familiar with the B&K, but I do own the Sunfire TG II. I am very happy with this preamp. The two things I do miss with the TG II are: 1) You can't listen to one source while recording another. 2) The analog inputs are not 5.1... 
Sunfire TG II vs TG III: Differences ???
Just called Sunfire and heard they will be offering their upgrade program starting October 1. Price is 1795 unless you're in Washington. Not sure about shipping. You give them a call after October 1 and set it up!Greg 
Which Acoustic Zen spkr cables for Legacy Sig III
Hi Dave, I believe it was you I spoke to about the cables when I called AZ. Thanks for the answer, I've been wondering whether the new version made a difference.Greg 
Which Acoustic Zen spkr cables for Legacy Sig III
That's a really interesting question. I asked Acoustic Zen the same question in respect to my Legacy Classics right before they brought out the Hologram II BiWire and their answer was the Satori Shotguns, because the Hologram were optimized for a ... 
Pioneer DV 37 Question
I have a 38a and stock the CD sound was nothing to write home about. Quite honestly, the sound wasn't that much better than the Pioneer 525, it was replacing and if that was the end of my plans, I would have been rather unhappy. But I had purchase... 
Anyone tried the new and improved Zen matrix?
Yeah, I liked my Silver Refs a lot (old-style), but went back and forth between the Silver Refs and the Matrix Refs for about a month. Neither was perfect, both had tradeoffs. I finally went with the Silver Refs because the bass was better defined... 
Anyone tried the new and improved Zen matrix?
I replaced the run of old style Silver Reference I had between my source and pre-amp with some of the new style Selver Ref cables. The only real change I noticed was that the bump in the midrange went away. It was subtle, but was that one little n...
