| 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... | |
| Pairing NAD Masters & Harbeth [poss. SHL5+ or 40.2] mgrif we did tell the OP that his NAD pieces would work we just let him know that even better gear would make the speakers perform even better.Dave and TroyAUdio Doctor NJ | |
| Help me decide between these two turntable/cartridge combinations Kcomess, many people love the idea of a simple and elegant setup that works right out of the box.One of the strongest attributes of both of these tables is the cart is premounted, well it is on the Rega, would assume the EAT is also premounted.So... | |
| Pairing NAD Masters & Harbeth [poss. 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 ... | |
| Pairing NAD Masters & Harbeth [poss. 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.

| A visit to the (Audio) Doctor Rbstereno, it is not a matter of prejudice, we have discussed on show reports that we have heard and liked many products that we don't stock, which include WIlson and Rockport for example. We stated in our Axpona report how good the latest series... | |
| Amp / Pre-Amp for Sonus Faber Serafino Stereo5 we never said the Mcintosh amplifiers are bad just that they tend to favor warmth and punchyness over transparency.Now we are not saying that your setup doesn't sound good, we are saying that there is a sound to Mcintosh that some people l... | |
| Amp / Pre-Amp for Sonus Faber Serafino Stereo5, sorry but your story, with the guy liking your Mcintosh/Golden Ear over his Pass isn't an endorsement for your Mcintosh setup being better than Pass it is an endorsement that your system has synergy and perhaps his does not. The only Mci... | |
| Amp / Pre-Amp for Sonus Faber Serafino Stereo5 many people dealers included don't like the concept that Mcintosh expouses. A proper solid state amplifier doesn't need an autotransfomer which robs the amp from being transparent, the resulting sound is warm and punchy but lacks detail.A ... | |
