| Integrated amp recommendations for harbeth 30.2 XD LFD NCSE Mk 1 BACKSTORY: I’ve been in and out of the industry since 1976 as a specialist high-end retailer. I was for some years [until I resigned the franchise earlier this year] an official by which I mean full-time] :FD Audio retailer. SCOPE: T... | |
| 25 year warranty – thoughts invited So BRF - it seems you want massive discount PLUS 25 year warranty. Are you serious? How long would such a retailer stay in business if adopting your approach? Not long I guess. So where would you be then, once your short-terms aspirations were met... | |
| Remote volume control = unacceptable compromise? The most likely answer I guess is that no OEM maker yet produces an entirely neutral motorized volume control. Possibly Accuphase, Luxman and so on do – but if they did they certainly wouldn’t supply outsiders. Anyway … as for me, I won’t place co... | |
| 25 year warranty – thoughts invited Gentlemen: Perhaps this thread could benefit from a bit of mid-course correction? So if I may, can we re-visit the initial thought and correct a few misinterpreted facts:1. It’s not LFD audio who are offering the 25 year warranty. It’s their (appa... | |
| Super Dacs - DCS vs. MSB I'm going to wait for the LFD DAC5. I owned the DAC3 and should never have sold it. Those units now change hands for money than they were new, even including inflation.So if the DAC5 is more neutral, is less expensive and I can get it on sale or r... | |
| Mag editors and interviewers could do better Hello Cerrot. You wrote: “At this point, I couldn't care less for the reviewer to tell me what the designer was thinking of when he conceived his fare.” I see – or rather, I don’t. If a designer stated that his / her primary motivation was to (say... | |
| Harbeth Owners which model? I worked my way up through the Harbeth range via a very co-operative dealer who has subsequently (and happily, apparently) resigned the agency and settled on the SHL5 models. I then borrowed a pair of 40.1 speakers. Big, big mistake bass-wise. I h... | |
| 25 year warranty – thoughts invited Hello Swampwalker – I agree. Did BMW (in the UK at least) show the way here? Odd then that so few upscale audio makers are not of a similar opinion. As an aside, years back when I was more affluent I owned a used BMW 850CSi. V-12. I took a chance ... | |
| 25 year warranty – thoughts invited Actually Brf, I disagree slightly. My concern, if I had one (which I don’t) is that a parts makers might cease production of a specific electronic component and that there was / is no similar-sounding substitute. I asked Dr. Bews about this. He ha... | |
| LFD Audio new DAC Interesting. I asked Dr. Bews why no #4. Your first answer you mentioned here is indeed correct. Respect! | |
| 25 year warranty – thoughts invited Hmm. Curiously un-positive responses so far. The warranty being offered cost the end-user nothing. How bad is that? Mind you, as apparently LFD gear never goes wrong plus the fact that other than laser mechanism, they keep parts for every model th... | |
| New LFD Zero LE mkIV Hi. I found this small piece by the reclusive Dr. Bews (LFD founder and designer) which might be of interest re the differences between the Zero LE Mk4.0 and the Zero Signature. http://lfd4u.com/blog/2013/04/30/the-differences-between-the-lfd-audi... | |
| LFD NCSE Mk II Break In Period? Hi. I found this which although focuses on break-in on the Zero LE Mk4 it is probably relevant because the Mk2 NCSE came out around the same time. http://lfd4u.com/blog/2013/05/01/break-in-period-for-the-lfd-audio-zero-le-mk-4-integrated-amplifier/ | |
| Recommend an integrated amp for my Harbeth 40.1's You can see 3 UK-based perspectives at http://lfd4u.com/?s=40.1Might be useful? | |
| Prefered Amplifiers to run with Harbeth M40.1 Interesting comments at http://lfd4u.com/?s=40.1 Can't do much about that bass 'hump' though on the early versions of the 40.1 I heard. Have the fixed that yet? Best I heard to date was the LFD PA2M (SE). |
