[Harry Lavo]

Picture this.

In North Carolina, the Mendelssohn String Quartet with Robert Mann (of
Juliard fame) sitting in as second Viola records Mendelssohns String
Quintets Nos. 1 and 2. In five channel native DSD.

In Belgium, Pieter Wispelwey on Cello and Dejzn Lazic on Piano sit down to
play the Sonatas for Cello and Piano by Mssrs. Shostakovich, Prokofiev, and
Britten. In five channel native DSD.

In Harry Lavo's living room, a Sony XA2000ES SACD player decodes the DSD
from those two locations using native one-bit DSD decoding and feeds it via
analog outs to Harry's Audio Research and Audionics preamps, which in turn
pass the signals on to five 200-300wpc Outlaw monoblock amplifiers, which in
turn regale five full range Thiel loudspeakers (3.5's and 2 2's) with their
current.

On the couch, Harry lays back and relaxes, throws a light afghan over his
body for warmth, and prepares to listen. His resident son is gone for the
weekend. The house is quiet except for the low murmur of the air
circulation fan in the basement.

It does get better than that.

How about listening to a Mozart string quartet in a chamber at the
Castel San Angelo, with members of the Rome Philharmonic Orchestra
playing to about 20 people?

Shhhh! sits back in a chair, imagining that this is how the music was
written to be performed...

I happened to be there at the right time. A woman asked me, "Are you
here for the performance?" I'm glad I asked her what she meant.

toopid, for example, would've said, "No!" and continued on.

I'll take live any day, if the setting is good for the music and the folks
are first class performers. Score one for Shhhh!

Only if certain conditions are met. See my reply to Shhhh!

Thanks for admitting that your recordings of your church
choir don't do it justice.
I just knew they couldn't be that bad!.

Did Arnii just characterize his churchy business as "so-called
reproductions of music"?

That would seem to be the case.

We'll have to wait to see how we misunderstood what he said.
