What's your profession? Age?
Good to see this thread revived! I'm a recruiter with a $+60k main system I can't afford, but enjoy. Nasdaq is NOT helping.

Hey all: Detlof has something in store... Speach, speach, Detlof! (Pls don't you hate me, Detlof.)BTW, where are the the others? Don't we all buy systems to listen to music? This thread is about music...

Lugnut, allow me to second your proposition. 
Do isolation devices really help?
Pbb: of course the manufacturers benefit. Similarly with components, music, performers, milk producers, micro-software producers, self-professed gurus, demagogues, and many others :). This is most unfortunate. I.e. that person(s) known or unknown ... 
Orchestral brass and fanfare - analysis of system
Judit, I'm a tad confused & much intrigued. Let's assume for a moment that the recording is not at fault (i.e. it suffers from the usual d*nm compression!). If I'm not mistaken, the fact is that you detect a compression in the fundamental uppe...

Bach Matthaus Passion
Ethannnn the second question is easy: in Bach's passions, Matthaus=Matthew. As to best... that's a tough one. I would go for Klemperer/Philramonia Orch & Chorus & a nice cast of voices (EMI - 1961 recording/both vinyl & cd). There's a ... 
Cable vs. Electronics: biggest bang for the buck
It is with extreme sorrow that I take upon myself the heavy burden of imparting the irreversibly sad news that Dr Jung is no longer with us...It has been rumoured that he was a great admirer of Dr Goebbels aka the Ogilvy of pre-war advertising (or... 
Review: Neuance Alpha & Beta shelf / Apollo Aria 455 rack Stand
