Fritz Carrera or other possibilities!
@johnc5 I have the Fritz Carrera BE speakers in my home office system. I have gone through a number of speakers in this system and to date nothing has come close to Fritz at that price point. Of course, you can find better but you will have to spe... 
Replacing tweeter in Harbeth SHL5 Plus
@yoyoyaya Thanks for the tips. I will try to disconnect and attach the new tweeter this weekend. My only concern is that I might pull or twist too hard and break the wire altogether. But I'll give it a shot. Appreciate it.

@yogiboy I did call Fidelis. Apparently, the person who 'knows' is always busy or on the other line. They take my number but never call me back. What're you gonna do? :)  
Joseph Audio: Perspectives and Pearls
+1 @prof ​​​​​@stereo5  Jeff Joseph is a bonafide designer and not a mere assembler.  His speakers are world class!  
Joseph Audio: Perspectives and Pearls
So ever since I got the Perspectives I’ve disconnected the subs. Need to put them up for sale soon. If you have good and powerful amp, you don’t need subs with these speakers.

I have never done a direct comparison between the Pearls and Perspectives. But I currently own JA Perspective2 speakers. Last year, or perhaps the year before, I went to listen to the Pearls at a local seller's house. The guy was ready to sell the... 
Devore O vs Audionote
I've heard Heresy III and IV, as well as Devore O/96. First of all, the Devore looks gorgeous and classy. And sounds significantly better and refined. I'm sorry I won't put the Heresy's even two levels below the Devore. Having said that, I'm proba...

Thanks. I did try with pliers but they won’t come off. I’m afraid to put too much course and make it worse.

Sorry for the double post. Ignore the other thread please.   
Streamers and their Fuses
See how stupid that sounds…   agreed. It does sound stupid when people argue without doing the simplest thing possible … listen in your own system before getting all bent out of shape.       
Digital is far better than vinyl
@ghdprentice and @lalitk -- thank you for sharing your opinions. This is indeed excellent advice for folks who might just be getting into vinyl. I think it's best to own both formats, but if one is just starting out and has limited funds, your adv... 
Primaluna. Evo 400 - bass issues
I believe the Primaluna Evo 400 can accept KT150 tubes. If true, try them ... they definitely have much punchier and impactful bass than EL34's. But you might miss the special midrange sauce that EL34's add to the flavor.

Uh oh looks like someone forgot to take their meds on time again.

The science is there for just about anything or topic, and a person can, should, believe what they hear IMO. This has to be the silliest argument I have heard. The fact is that science is ALWAYS evolving. I think people confuse science with rel...
