| Harbeth Super HL5 plus Break-in Isn't that the same designer that says that amps don't matter? | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @arctikdeth I streamed that Gary Moore live album, but agree that it's excellent! | |
| Shootout of Nos 6sn7 tubes If you have issues with the 1578's, your first course of action should be to contact the seller. I'd avoid trying things like re-soldering unless you can't get satisfaction from the seller, or you don't care about taking a loss if you're unable t... | |

| Harbeth Super HL5 plus Break-in I didn't notice the stands being used. Open stands are often recommended for Harbeths (although not in their user guide) because the cabinet contributes to the sound, or at least that seems to be the overwhelming consensus based on what I've read... | |
| Shootout of Nos 6sn7 tubes @shkong78 It's actually a she, someone named Olga. It was a little odd that she asked me to send the tubes to an address in Delaware. I'll wait and see how it all plays out. | |
| Jolida Fusion or Vincent SA-32 / hybrid comparison I owned a Jolida Fusion and it was noisy, one of the XLR connectors came loose, and if I remember right, it also made popping noises when changing inputs. In short, I don't think it was very well made and sound quality was not as good as other co... | |
| Has anyone tried a rubberized coating on older Klipsch tweeters? I've always wanted to try some Quartets out. The RF speakers aren't bad by any means. I still have a pair of RF-3 I in my home theater setup and also a pair of RF-5. I've owned RF-7, RF-3 II, and RF-82 II also. | |
| Go Buy Some Music You Deadbeat Streamers! I didn't read the article. I listen to a lot of streamed music. It's often a gateway drug, leading to purchases of vinyl. I (used to) go to a lot of concerts. The entertainment industry seems to be particularly susceptible to the current state... | |
| Has anyone tried a rubberized coating on older Klipsch tweeters? I have used Dynamat on the outside of the horns in some of my Klipsch Heresy speakers. I'm not sure I'd bother with the RF-3s. I'd encourage you to move to the Heritage line or see if you can find some second hand Epic (CF-X) or Legend (KLF-XX) ... | |
| Shootout of Nos 6sn7 tubes @shkong78 The seller of the tubes (the one in Russia that you recommended) has offered to replace the tubes and pay return shipping. So far, so good. I'll update once I receive the replacement tubes. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @drrsutliff Congrats on the Purpleheart! I have the Kiseki Blue NS and have been really happy with it. It outshines all my other carts and is a nice pairing with my new (to me) VPI Classic 3. | |
| What are you streaming tonight? David Crosby - If I Could Only Remember My Name, QobuzI saw him perform live about a year ago and watched the documentary Remember My Name a week or two ago. Quite an interesting guy. |
