Robert came to my home to calibrate my Pioneer PDP 60" panel and worked diligently, explaining each step to me along the way, until it was essentially *perfectly* balanced. I was especially pleased with the outcome and impressed with the full potential of my monitor "unleashed". Robert was actually able increase the ...output while optimizing the balance of grayscale and color temperature / accuracy - unbelievable. He even extracted a substantial performance gain from an older CRT I use - remarkable improvement. I would recommend Busch Home Theater to anyone who wants their A/V system to work properly and get the MOST performance from your equipment possible. I thoroughly enjoyed Robert's extensive knowledge of both the technical side and the history of calibration standards and processes. Thank you! Andrew Winter

Hi Robert,
I just want say thanks for all your help with our t.v.  It is awesome!  We enjoyed watching sports and movies on it all weekend long.  When we are ready to create a true home theater (a girl can dream, right?) you will be the guy we call to design it and install it!!!!

I was in the market for a complete home theater system, and visited all of the high-end A/V shops in San Francisco. I initially contacted Robert to perform a display calibration, but after speaking with him a few times, I became confident in deciding to purchase all of my A/V components through Robert, in addition to having him provide complete audio and video calibration.

Why? Compared to the typical salespeople you'll find at retail shops, Robert is truly passionate about his craft. He's not driven by high volume sales quotas or manufacturer's perks, and he's not trying to sell you the latest gizmo on the market—he's in business to provide you the finest audio & video experience that's possible within your means. Robert offers an impressive body of relevant experience and industry certifications, has great contacts within the industry, and above all demonstrates an unwavering dedication to achieving the best quality possible in your A/V gear.

Robert not only provided an amazing value for my budget, but communicated with me frequently (often outside of normal business hours), and perhaps most importantly went above and beyond my expectations in dealing with the inevitable, unforeseen challenges inherent in today's complicated A/V gear. Without exaggeration I can say that I have never before experienced the level of customer service as I have with Robert Busch, and it's earned him a lifelong client.

Robert understands that systems like this are often one of the largest investments his clients will ever make, and he selects the brands and treats the setup as if they were going into his own home. He simply will not rest until his clients are completely satisfied with every aspect of their system, down to the smallest detail. I am thrilled with the components Robert recommended, and it almost goes without saying that my audio and video calibration were flawless. It is now a true pleasure to proudly enjoy movies, music and games every day with my friends and family.

It's rare to find someone in any field as knowledgeable, enthusiastic, experienced and dedicated as Robert at Busch Home Theater, and the Bay Area is lucky to have him. Add in the fact that he's one of the nicest, most genuine, personable, thorough, and patient guys you will ever meet, and I can easily recommend Robert for any of your audio/video needs without a moment's hesitation.

Pioneer Elite PRO 151FD calibration by Robert Busch,                                                 Had our TV calibrated and the picture looks fantastic!  Factory setting seemed great but what a difference after the calibration was done!  Having Robert in the house was like having a friend in the house while getting the job done but still very professional and knowledgeable.  Would recommend Robert to anyone that is buying a TV and wants it calibrated.                                                                                                                      Regards, Mark

Got my Pioneer Elite141FD delivered a couple of weeks ago, did the burn in disc and all that jazz and right out of the box the picture quality blew me away. I have a 5020 in the other room within site of the 141 so I could compare them simultaneously: just no comparison, the 141 just looked more accurate, 3 dimensional, and "right". So I was happy to say the least. But then I had Robert Busch come over the other day to calibrate both sets. I live in the Bay Area and he generally travels anywhere in the area. Really cool guy, professional, called an hour beforehand to say he was on his way, showed up right on time. Had all the gear and everything, politely took his shoes off and sat down to work. First he checked out my new Oppo blu-ray player, actually took the time to look through the manual and then compared it to his reference PS3 to make sure everything was on the up and up with the new player. Tweaked some settings (source direct seemed best) and then started the calibration of the 141. As luck would have it I seem to have one of the later production units that for some reason calibrates really nicely according to Robert (he's done several of the 141s). He spent a good bit of time tweaking, explaining, tweaking, sweating (500W in your face gets hot), tweaking some more. And when he was done, we compared his ISF-day/night settings to the Pure setting I was using before and WOW; really unbelievable! It's like a layer of grime was removed from the glass. Blacks seemed blacker, and whites were whiter, and overall improvement in contrast was simply over the top. Images (both Dish Network and blu-ray) had a palpable 3D Quality that was stunning. Colors looked much more accurate. I had no idea that such a level of improvement could be obtained with proper calibration. Even more surprising was the improvement in the 5020 after he calibrated it. I was reluctant to "waste" money on that set, as I wasn't sure given its decreased tweakability that a calibration would help much. Wrong. After Robert was done, the "Movie" mode on the 5020 actually looked a bit better than the baseline uncalibrated Pure mode on the 141! Fantastic. After he was done he helped me with advice about acoustic treatments for my room, speaker placement, etc. and was overall just an invaluable resource. Plus, we had a blast; the guy has great taste in local Mexican food, I have to say! Overall a highly recommended calibrator if you live in the California Bay Area.

Pioneer Elite101FD calibration by Robert Busch,
Now I have a display that is far superior to what I saw at Magnolia - a 111FD that set me back on my heels and convinced me I had to have a 9G Elite. And my wife says it was worth the price of the calibration just to have a display that I can't tweak with the remote. Anyone who has one of these displays and doesn't spring for a pro cal is missing much of the performance engineered into it. Tell the wife that the TV won't be adjustable with the remote once it's calibrated - maybe that will seal the deal.

Robert,
TV looks great. Can't thank you enough, you were very professional and it was money well spent. Thanks for making my first calibration experience a good one.
Thanks again, you take care.

Bob-- I truly didn't think my Pioneer 1120 could look better. But it does. Even my wife (the mother of all skeptics agrees!). Good job.Thank you. Below is a copy of my posting last night on highdefforum.com. Regards. Harvey Stein

Any insight would be greatful. 

Jet-- I, too, have an 1120. Purchased in early February. Build date of December. Absolutely NO buzz issue. I just had it calibrated by Robert Busch of Busch Home Theatre (SF Bay Area). I was skeptical about the cost/benefit since the 1120 display is so good out of the box. "How in the world could this look better?" Well-- it DOES look better. INHD (Comcast HD channels) have always looked good, but the other HD premium channels (Showtime and HBO) were decidedly improved, especially the black levels. Having spent a small fortune on this home theatre, why settle for anything less than the best you can get? Go for it...
