| Recent upgrade to Cronus Magnum Wow, thanks for so many wonderful suggestions! Based on several responses, I'm leaning toward the suggestion to try and work with the amp settings/tubes before jumping ship. I was trying to figure out how to check the impedance setting, but it loo... | |
| Recent upgrade to Cronus Magnum @sfar Thanks for sharing. Glad to know I'm not the only one thinking the Cronus as lacking refinement. Like they say, it's a journey. I started in this hobby thinking that I am more in the "detailed, modern, hifi, etc" so to speak type of sound. ... | |

| Suggestions for Harbeth P3ESR speakers I finally made the purchase yesterday! Happy to report that the improvement in SQ is substantial. I just can't believe how much bigger and better the Harbeth's are sounding right now. I'm finally beginning to see why people love the P3esr's so muc... | |

| Suggestions for Harbeth P3ESR speakers @roberjerman: Thanks for the advice. I actually owned a Peachtree Nova 125 for almost two years. It never really impressed me. It was a bit too sparkly on the top for my taste. Also had some quality issues. Finally replaced it with a Parasound. Th... | |
| Suggestions for Harbeth P3ESR speakers Sorry, forgot to add that it has to be an integrated due to space limitations. From what I've read, the Harbeths favor SS over tubes. | |
| Who wants the best improvement in their system EVER! @wolf_garcia I tried everything you suggested in your previous post.I'm still not satisfied. Well, with the exception of selling my McLaren. What's wrong with me? | |
