According to your System page, your Denon was modified by ALP HiFi. ;-)
And I think I chose with my ears wide open, but i admit i prefer that enveloping i am there big sound vs, being able to count the teeth of a singer in an ice cave. But if i can still count teeth i am happy camper. (There is a reason why i love my ESLs.) I know your taste in sound if you prefer Alex's design over others. The reason I brought up Bob Crump (I still miss the big guy) Because he had a different perspective on what is good sound. For Bob PRECISION was paramount even if at the expense of involvement, if in Bob's sound-stage you could not locate a singer down to seven decimal points Bob was not happy. Of course some of his designs turned out to be involving, but the ones that were not, were still ultra precise. Alex on the other hand designs things that are always musically involving, and some of them are very precise as well. As those two philosophies converge, one makes financial decisions.dee

True terror is to wake up one morning and discover that your high school class is running the country.
When I attend a live performance I cannot normally pinpoint the precise location of instruments in an arrangement down to seven decimal points, as you say, but I've encountered such precision in some hi-fi system. This could be more of a result of multi-mic recording & mixing than anything else, however. And on some systems I consistently hear high frequency instruments more forward in the soundstage and lower frequency instruments farther back. Is that better 3D imaging or some kind of phase issue, or simply my ears playing tricks on me? Lots of variables involved.BTW: I wasn't being skeptical; I was merely making a joke since you had a typo in the name of Alex's company.
