| Whats on your turntable tonight? @tomic601 I ordered another headshell so that I can try one of my cartridges on it that I'm familiar with. I must say though that the sound is growing on me. I'm listening to John Coltrane, Soultrane right now. | |
| Am I the only one who doesn’t love Harbeth P3esr? What height are they at? The tweeters should be at ear level. The designer recommends that you toe in so that the baffles are facing you. Try it. When I got my SHL5 Plus the dealer loaned me some stands while my custom stands were being made. The ... |
