I find your room's (office) acoustics surprisingly good.

You could use some elevator music in your office to make work more productive.It is surprising how much work gets done in his listening room

Is 90% of the much more expensive systems you heard any better than this one Ked?So now on WBF Avalon compass diamonds, Allnic A6000, Soulution pre, brinkmann balance, FR 66s, Allnic phono, 8 carts (to be fair we are only playing the Decca London reference here) and audiophile cables, Still points and balanced power in a 30x14 feet room is value for money

Ked, you like the London Ref? I've heard it twice now, and hated it both times. It also eats vinyl.
Sonically it is very good but yes tough on LPs unless set up exact. It has to be perfect to sound good. Otherwise very fatiguing. Very temperamental. Heard that it works best on linear trackers and FR.
Christian showed his Stereo version of this album a while ago. Bill and Bonzo said the mono of this is also excellent and much cheaper so I bought one...still very expensive at $185. This is one of the cleanest album I have. Superb sound and performance. I have this Bach Two Violins with Menuhin and Oistrakh, but no where near this album. Very very quiet vinyl with so low surface noise no click n pops. To my surprise, it sounds more like a stereo not mono.

Also consider the version by the Végh Quartet issued by the French label Valois. Though I really cherish the Italiano, the Végh are just on another planet.

Thank you Tima. It is like an adventure to me finding good music.Took me a while to find a mint box set of Quatuor Végh 's recordings of Beethoven string quartets - but it was worth the search.
10 LPs on the Valois label (CMB 83). I listened to op. 130 in B? major last night - the Grosse Fuge. What a sheer delight! Top notch performances from each member on every movement. B gave everyone interesting parts throughout the entire work - no boring ostinatos for the rhythm section. little showboating for the first violin. Cello and bass together were gorgeous. As fresh in the 21st C. as it was in 1825 (though few heard it then.)
The sound quality is superb, very transparent, open and clear.
Thank you dcc, very much, for this recommendation!
