Harbeth Comparison

I used to have the CDP too, running balanced but as good the sound was, not musical at all, at for me it was a big Nono...
very clear but not organic or full sound, i gave a long three to 4 months to convince me otherwise, i end up selling it,
regards

Another popular combination on this side of the pond is Harbeth/Rogue Cronus or Cronus Magnum. Popular with me but also displayed at last years Montreal show. Ive been on the HUG and found a few more people with the combo. That being said your gear will work fine with Harbeth and what ever you do I hope you find yourself at peace with your system for a very long time without any upgrades.

I have a luxman 505u and purchased a Sutherland 20/20 phono pre about 1 year ago. I have no regrets, the Sutherland a clear improvement at all levels. I would not hesitate to make the same choice after living with the 20/20 for a year

Good luck with your choice

Honeybee. There's a new boxed pair of Super HL5's on Agon right now. The person says they bought them for a second system but are backing out. Very good deal and it sounds like they never opened the boxes. Under full range speakers. (I have nothing to do with the ad. Just remembered this thread)
