| Esoteric K-03 / K-01 Leave Power On ? Digital should never be turned on it takes one to two days for the digital to sound as good as it normally would.The act of turning on and off components is much more damaging, and the K01/KO3 will use such a small amount of power you wound't noti... | |
| Krell Duo 175xd Steven it was a pleasure as always, we have compared the Krell to the Coda, one of our clients got the Coda .8 a few months back. These are two fantastic power amplifiers, the Krell is a bit more liquid and has a lot of the flow of a tube amp. The... | |
| Pairing NAD Masters & Harbeth [poss. SHL5+ or 40.2] OP if your wife doesn't like the look of the Harbeths maybe you should check out other speakers your wife might like the look of.The 40 are much better suited for the size of your room.Legacy loudspeakers the Signature is a very smooth loudspeaker... | |

| Upgrading HT and 2channel stereo ironmike you could do a great system with an Anthem MRX 510 for $1,400.00 and a good high power integrated for $3-5k and you would have a great package.We have the new Unison Research Unico Due a 120 watt hybrid integrated with a tube front end an... | |
| Upgrading HT and 2channel stereo Sorry to disagree with Mijostyn, but there are way better ways of doing this and using the MRX Receiver with a higher quality power amplifier.The idea of the receiver to power the center and rears is a good one, the area where we would differ, is ... | |
| Amplifier ideas with KEF Reference 1 We have mixed feelings on the Hegel, Keoliphant finds the treble a bit thin so we are wondering what is causing that? We had a demo earlier in the year of the Hegel 190 and the Nuprime STA 9 combo with the Nad C658 dac/preamp far outperformed it f... | |

SHL5+ or 40.2] Personally If I were looking especailly at the 40.2 I would look at a serious upgrade over the NAD pieces.The 40.2 were just at the New York show with way, more expensive gear and they sounded surprisingly good. I would look at a Naim stack, or a ... | |

| Upgrade from Naim Nova If I had the Nova I would look to trade it in towards an even higher quality integrated amplifier or separates. The Lumin X1 is really remarkable streamer and you can use a switch which has optical ethernet output which will dramatically improve ... | |

SHL5+ or 40.2] Dear OP we are an NAD Masters Dealer and this combo should work great, The over all sound quality of the Masters series is clean, tight, fast articulate. The Harbeths tend to be a bit on the warmer side so this combo should be good. The real quest... |
