| Finally, ultrasonic cleaning for the masses! Just received the humminguru and I like it and the results. cleaned 6 records yesterday in about half an hour. operation is simple- fill the removable reservoir with 400ml distilled water to the line. pour into the top of the unit. inse... | |
| Anybody use a single ended component with one that is balanced? WORTH A TRY. Sounds NOTICEABLY better between my Cary preamp and Pass amp. I have compared the two options extensively and everything (sound stage, dynamics, transparency) sounds better. Return them if it doesn't work out. https://www.ne... | |
| burn in - how important? The Rogue amps get very little credit for some reason. Strictly on sound they can hold their own with more costly and seemingly higher regarded products. Burn in does matter- more so for solid state for some reason in my experience. After a we... | |
| Your tube amp related Harbeth experience. I have run the Harbeth C7ES3 and SHL5+ on tune amplifiers in my med-large room. I tend to like the higher powered KT120 amps and used the Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum II and then the Rogue Audio Stereo 100. The sound in all cases was sublime. Ro... | |
| Preowned Wilson Audio Chicago Dealer I have had the same issue and I know who/ what you are referring to. Tried to buy a few items over the years and was discouraged each time and switched to something else which I did not buy. One last attempt this past fall for a Pass amp and of... | |
| Subwoofer for music, how low? Merry Christmas to you ! I have two REL T9i and love the sound. They are subwoofers with sound that contradicts their specifications. Mine play down to 20Hz in room at the listening position and have more than enough power, punch and impact ... | |
| Harbeth again…or other speakers for acoustic music? The SHL5+ are sensitive to toe in and break in hours. They are counter intuitive in that more toe in reduces brightness. Also they should have grilles on to smooth the upper midrange. Lastly mine took many many hours to reach their final for... | |

| Harbeth again…or other speakers for acoustic music? @jdal please remember that GR research video has an agenda. the crossover parts are low cost but are well regarded capacitors and resistors that have tight tolerances. they are low cost because they are sold in high volume. as far as the pa... | |
| Harbeth again…or other speakers for acoustic music? @philsons I have compared the 30.2 to the SHL5+. but not with a subwoofer. I am sure they would sound excellent. Overall I prefer the transparency of the SHL5+ vs. the 30.2. The 30.2 can sound soft and rounded. Not as rich as the C7ES3 b... | |
| Suggestion between benchmark Ahb2, Bob carver crimson 275 and rogue atlas magnum 2 amos I remember the first time I heard the LS50s. It was partnered with high end solid state amplification and i thought they sounded very good. The next time I heard them was a dealer that carried Raven Audio tube amplifiers. I was stunned at how... | |
| Line Stage Preamps that blew you away $2500 Edition Reiterating the superb value of the $2500 Rogue Audio RH-5 linestage / headphone amp. An exceptionally clean, dynamic sound. *Two 12AU7 *XLR input and output, a true balanced design. *Dual transformer Linear Power Supply. *Stereophile Class ... | |
| Phono stage shoot out: best mid priced unit? The Sutherland 20/20 with LPS gives me exceptionally clean, clear, smooth dynamic sound. Perfect synergy with my tube preamp and solid state amp. Whether running an Audio Technica ART9, Ortofon Cadenza Blue or Lyra Delos the sound is exception... | |
| Anybody use a single ended component with one that is balanced? @roxy1927 I am saying there is a possibility that it will sound better using the adapter to use the balanced outs. Definitely worth a try. | |
| Suggestion between benchmark Ahb2, Bob carver crimson 275 and rogue atlas magnum 2 amos Stretch a little for a new or used Rogue Audio Stereo 100. Even though it is rated for the same 100 WPC as the Atlas, the St 100 sounds twice as powerful (better power supply circuitry). The ST 100 is a reference quality amp that solid state can... |
