| Best Grateful Dead recording? I think you can get Infrared through GD Merchandise. http://www.dead.net It's great like Owl (Owlsley?) said. Very well recorded, great soundstaging, well beyond the speaker boundries, spacy beyond words. Some wonderful piano work by Bruce Hornsby... | |
| WAF, Help, Need Strategy Hey Slap!Tell her to compromise with you or you'll go whole hog and hire Rives to do the room right. Rives is doing our room for 2 channel right now, and Richard is the master at combining WAF, aesthetics, placement, and acoustics. I called her bl... | |
| I need audition advice Dynavector 20X or Karat. The 20X is available in both a low and high output configuration. The Dynas work really well on the VPI arms. | |

| carpet or wood floors for maggies? Funny you should ask. As we speak, I am tearing up the wall to wall in my room, going with the hardwood and an area rug. I have the MMGs that I sometimes swap into the system. My mains are the 3.6Rs. The room is 16 x 22 x 10. | |
| Suggestions, please... How about Respighi's "Ancient Airs and Dances"? The Mercury recording is available in both mediums. Bach's "Cello Suites" are very nice, as are the "Goldberg Variations", especially Glenn Gould's reading of them. | |
| The Best Audio Dealer My vote would be for Richard Bird of Rives Audio. The room is as much a component, and as big a part of the system, as any other. I am currently working with him on a redesign of my room. He is knowlegable, professional, listens to your needs, and... | |
