| Computer for home audio I'm using my 10 year old Dell XPS 9000 (which is still my main computer rig) to stream Tidal and Qobuz through USB. It's feeding a MHDT Orchid DAC, and I have an ARC VSI-55 with Harbeth P3ESR and a Simaudio 430HA headphone amp. Sound quality is ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Gave the SL 1200 a workout last night...Deep Purple - In ConcertFaces - A Nod is as Good as a WinkFleetwood Mac - S/T | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Just got back from a short business trip to Portland where I picked up a new (to me) Technics SL 1200 MK2.India Arie - Acoustic Soul is on it now | |
| Purchased new speakers, need amp suggestion Honestly, $1K seems like too low of a budget for those speakers. I cringe a little as I type this but consider an Emotiva xpa-2. | |
| Considering Harbeth C 7ES-3 My experience of smaller Harbeths is that they lack treble. A lot. I don't have the C7s, so wasn't going to post in this thread, but I found this comment surprising. I like treble, and started out with (and still have) a lot of different Klipsc... | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? We saw Kansas a few months ago in Portland and they were fantastic! I'm not a huge fan either, but they put on a great show and were all excellent musicians. | |

| Cartridge Recommendations I have a Hana SL and a Nagaoka MP-500 (the top of the line). I haven't tried them both on the same table, but the Hana is a favorite for me and compares nicely with some other higher end MC carts I have. | |

| So many great golden era DD tables out there, what do you recommend for $1000? I just saw that Echo Audio in Portland just got a JVC QL-Y66F in. $425. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Jazz from KNKX radio on my new (to me) Magnum Dynalab FT-101A with the Etude upgrade. I'm over 50 miles away and it sounds fantastic. | |
| MHDT Pagoda question on use I have an Orchid and have it connected to my PC by USB. I am not sure what you mean by this "slowness" you describe, but I certainly don't hear it. I mainly listen to Qobuz and Tidal using their apps on Windows.What do you have your Sound settin... | |
