Harbeth Comparison
A note about "better" and the upgrade churn. Have owned several Harbeth models and have heard the entire line including the new 30.1. All models are well engineered broadcast monitors with family Harbeth sound. The difference is in scale and what ... 
LFD III vs IV
I've owned some "big name gear with big VU's" that didn't give me the thrill of the LFD Mk.III sound. Trust your ears not the dealers ears, and if you buy with your eyes over your ears you are doing yourself a disservice. There are a bounty of int... 
How can I tell what version of an LP is best ?
I'd like to believe gold standard should be audio reproduction closest to music performed live regardless of tube or SS or needle or laser or vinyl or compact disc - but your point well taken. 
How can I tell what version of an LP is best ?
Amusing the drone on forums and audio rags of the vinyl/analog superiority and disparaging of CD medium. Jolly too the backslapping of support elicited and received from that modest bunch. Well done! Go team go, we're #1 rah rah. 
Oppo 95 vs Sony 5400/9000/777 who owned both?
If user is OK with a fan in their one-box and a screen to make menu changes than 1K Oppo may scratch the itch until the inevitable "want to buy something else" assuredly arrives. At least this addiction helps the manufacturers, retailers and publi...

LFD NCSE or Cronus Magnum
I've had both with Compact 7's. Either matches up well. The remoteless (if that is a purchasing decision) NCSE has better bass impact and control. If you've liked the sound of tubes and enjoy the hobby of tube rolling you already know which way to... 
Better than Perreaux 150i, price/performance?
I'd save your money. You have a fine integrated. Do you have acoustic treatments in your listening room? If not I'd explore that direction first. 
Can Harbeths Perform Well In Nearfield Listening?
For 10 X 10 feet P3ESR's would be fine. The Compact 7's better. P3's best placed at minimum one and a half feet from wall boundries. Compact 7's bass good in that space (and bit larger rooms as well) while the P3's are best to augment with sub. Do...

Research head-fi.org forum and their ads as well. 
Do you buy Insurance for Stereo Equipment?
USAA. An outstanding insurer, and OK - bank too.Alarm systems and video surveillance all to good, but I'd think mentioning you have firearms for home security would bring suggestions to jack-up your liability coverage. Disclaimer: I'm an ex-servic...

Speaker Cables for Harbeth P7ES-3 -where to start?
No matter how many times it's been said, here goes again: the 7ES-3's are not picky with what SS or tube amplification you use, and oddles of power are not needed. Fifty watts of output is plenty unless you live in a barn in which case best to loo...
