| Building stands for Harbeth 40.2's @mijostyn You may want to be careful with the carpet tape - it may damage the finish on your Harbeths - which could be an issue if you ever plan to sell them to upgrade. It is almost impossible to remove from hardwood. | |

| How much should I spend on a new DAC This is one of the best reviews I’ve seen of 4 of the top rated DAC’s - very informative. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=holo+audio+may+KTE+%26+Spring+KTE+compared I have the Yggdrasil OG - which is a superb R2R DAC for a very reas... | |
| Candidates for best speakers in the $2000-5000 market Unless you plan to upgrade your amp... you really need to find something efficient to mate well with your PrimaLuna. If your into jazz, classical, acoustic sounds... or... even some rock... you’d be pleased with the Klipsch speakers. If rock.... | |
| Bob Carver tube amps I agree with the suggestion of the Line Magnetic tube amps with efficient speakers. Or the Willsenton R300 or R8. See the reviews on YouTube. Great products, great sound, and great values - especially with efficient speakers! | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @mglik "Surprised no mention of ATC. Some of the best sound I have ever had was with ATC Anniversary 50s...." Absolutely! Perhaps the best sound is provided by ATC speakers - which is why so many studio engineers use them. And... of course.... | |
| Open Baffle Experience I have the Linkwitz Orion 3.3, the Emerald Physics CS2.3, and the Magnestand maggie 1.6 - all dipole open baffle speakers. The Orions and Emerald Physics - sound a lot like Maggies on steroids - they have the open sound stage of Maggies, but with... | |
| What is the Best Sounding Stand Mount Speaker in the world? I’d prolly go with the ATC’s or maybe the GAMUT's... But... these would be the contenders with the right electronics (Harbeths require something like the Hegel H590 to sound their best). 1. TAD-CR1TX =OR= ATC SCM100ASL or 150ASL =OR= GAMUT RS3i ... | |
| Shipping 80lb amps. Use TForce Freight (UPS Freight) - double boxed and on pallet(s). I just received (in IL) a 500lb Yamaha piano via TForce from the piano dealer (shipper) in MD in perfect condition (box and contents) - double boxed on pallet. The dealer (shipper)... | |
| Which ones should I choose? Tannoy Kensington Gr or B&W 804 D4 Tannoy!!!! | |
| Preamps can color sound considerably. Surprising? @ozzy62 "...But when compared to a good passive, it's just no contest..." I've tried the Creek OBH22, which provides great clarity and resolution - because I wanted to go direct to an amp, but with a volume control with remote. It did provide ... | |
| Best DACs under $7,000.00 @phastm3 "I’ve had Aqua Lascala, Holo May, Terminator2, Audiomirror T3, Weiss 502, Musetec 005, Topping D90, Rockna Wavelight, Lab12 Dac1 Reference and the T+A Dac200 surpasses all of them..." I’d be tempted to check out the T+A DAC200, based on... | |
| Hegel owners - what speakers are you using I use the H590 to drive my Harbeth 30.1's and 40.2's - which sound superb with it! It does a great job of controlling the bass, and adding clarity to the Harbeth's. |
