| Tweaks you got rid of because they were not effective (enough)? No comment on Vibrapods’ efficacy, but the nasty residue can be prevented by placing a piece of plastic sandwich baggie between the Vibrapod and surface. Same with sorbothane. Perhaps Vibrapods are made of sorbothane?I'm pretty sure that's exactly... | |
| Can anyone recommend an FM Receiver that would play into a relatively high end system? @mahler123 I'm not saying there aren't some good streaming options, there are. However, the vast majority of streaming is 320 kbps MP3 or lower quality. Of course then you'll need a good quality DAC to get the best sound quality. You can get ... | |
| Tweaks you got rid of because they were not effective (enough)? Vibrapods. They seem to make the sound worse, not better, and leave a nasty residue. | |
| Can anyone recommend an FM Receiver that would play into a relatively high end system? If you want good sound quality, provided you have good FM stations in your area, a dedicated high quality FM tuner (and a good antenna) can be an excellent source.

| Versatile, non-fatiguing speakers for a small room under $1500 used or new: advice needed! I got lucky with my P3ESR's. In one of my last in-person visits to Echo Audio in Portland I walked in and saw them in the demo room, asked how much (I think they were $1025?), and immediately said I'll take them. I was lucky they hadn't put them... | |

| Versatile, non-fatiguing speakers for a small room under $1500 used or new: advice needed! I picked up my P3ESRs for about $1000. You can find them used under your budget. I have a pair of Super HL5 Plus and am driving them with a 50 WPC tube integrated. My P3ESRs are driven by a 125 WPC solid state integrated. Maybe the best system... | |
| Who's using Harbeth with tubes, what speaker model and how many watts per channel? My Harbeth Super HL5 Plus started in my main system with 180 WPC Rogue Audio M-180 tubed (KT120) monoblocks. They're now in my office with my Audio Research VSI55 50 WPC tubed (6550) integrated. They sound great with "only" 50 watts, although I ... | |

| Versatile, non-fatiguing speakers for a small room under $1500 used or new: advice needed! Hearing lots of good things about Harbeth, thanks. But I wonder how good they are with different genres - I’ve read they’re excellent at jazz and vocal but with rock, not so much. But hey maybe in a small room like mine the amount of bass they pro... | |
