Which Harbeths?
In as much as I haven't noticed or perhaps overlooked any  comments pertaining to my question, - - - - are you planning on buying one or the other HARBETH speakers without an audition? If you have, or plan to set up an audition, then without quest...

SLOT LOADING CD MECHANISMS - DO THE DAMAGE CD'S?
Thanks "FUZZTONE". I am aware of the PRO-JECT piece. Very interesting, but by the time I pair it up with a respectable performing high performance DAC, the total will be beyond my budget spectrum. The AUDIOLAB piece is an excellent performer in it...
