Best Bach Toccatta and Fugue in D Minor
To Subaruguru, A belated and sincere round of applause from me. I'm impressed. I'm a Lutheran Pastor's son. Some of my earliest memories are of Bach on the church pipe organ. My father and his organist friends used to play Bach all the time when I... 
Speaker Suggestions?/Advice Needed.
I second the Vandersteen recomendation. 
HiFi is an opinion - nothing more
Hey Larry, my post was in response to your claims on phase and frequency response. At just under 10 feet the Dunlavy's are phase and frequency coherent. I've measured this myself in my room. I have degrees in physics and electrical engineering so ... 
Romantic HiFi Getaway Weekend?!?
There are several hi-end dealers in the SF Bay area. Hard to beat the Bay Area for a romantic get away. 
HiFi is an opinion - nothing more
I'm not sure I should even bother with replying but aside from your attitude problem, you have clearly never heard a system that measures impulse coherent with flat frequency response. My system has been professionally measured in my room as part ... 
Wanted: Exceptional preamp w/remote
Hey Sugarbrie my late Maine Coon cat, Marcus, loved to listen with me. Since I listen in a bean bag chair he would fight me the sweet spot, the top of my head! His favorite was Brahms and hated the Ramones. 
Best Bach Toccatta and Fugue in D Minor
I listen to a lot of organ music (Dunlavy SC-V, trated room, Sigtech DSP with in room response measured flat to 24 HZ). I agree with Rcprince, if you want flash and LF, the Virgil recording is the way to go. Just don't think that this is even clos... 
Haydn Symphonies
For the original instrument sound I far prefer Bruggen to Roy Goodman. For performances on modern instruments of the more obscure (and not so obscure) symphonies I have really enjoyed Fisher and the Austro Hungarian Haydn Orchestra. The notes that... 
Power Cords, Should they all be from the
I don't agree with the dealers comments on the Power Plants. As many discussions here on Audiogon have discussed, the best power treatment for your system will depend on the quality of the AC power delivered in your neighborhood, the RFI situation... 
Perpetual Techs P1A DESIGN FLOOR!
For what it is worth, I auditioned one of the very first P1A production units. I compared it to my Theta Pro GenVa (96K) and my MSB Platinum. I noticed distortion and glare and returned it with a note explaining my experience and suggesting that t... 
Best Mahler Third
Without a doubt the best sonically. However in the final movement I think that the long line disappears. Horenstein captures it. I also think that Levine does an excellent job but I'm biased when it comes to the CSO since I attended almost every p... 
Room Correction Systems?
The engineer is $100 per hour. It took about 10 hours. The Sigtech configuration cost me about $6K which is roughly 10% of the total cost of my system. 
Room Correction Systems?
I recently hired an audio engineer for two days (costs less than high end cable) who had the MLSSA speaker measurement equipment along with all the impulse, spectral decay, modal, FFT, etc analysis equipment. I experimented with speaker placement,... 
Room Correction Systems?
Below is an edited repost of a description of my experience with digital room correction systems. My comparison of the Tact unit is a year old and I don't know if they have made software upgrades which may have addressed some of the short comings.... 
Anyone Know What VTL sounds like?
I've owned multiple versions of CJ, ARC, Melos, and VTL. My wife and I are very partial to tube sound. However each manufacturer has a rather distintive sound that can be shifted by changing the brand of tube used in their equipment. I think it wo...
