| How to tame a bright system? Even if auditioning isn’t possible I would try a pair of Harbeth C7es3 xd. I can’t imagine you wouldn’t be happy. They are not overly warm whatsoever like some might have you think. They have a pretty similar frequency balance but with much much s... | |
| Cable Management Tips and Tricks Can somebody explain the rubber band trick more thoroughly for me please? | |
| Two Cables From One? So I found a couple Shunyata Venoms for a solid price and purchased. I decided to give Shunyata a call and see if they could cut them down and re-terminate them for me. They said they could but it really doesn’t make sense due to cost. There cost... | |
| Two Cables From One? Thanks for thoughtful reply. You clearly have a good amount of experience with cables. Far as the spiral geometry, I’m not fully understanding what your saying. I was under the impression that the jacket would hold the spiral? Also when you say ... | |
| A little tube magic? Thanks for all the replies. Definitely helping me narrow down my path. I’m starting to think a tube buffer of some sort as well as maybe a tube dac. The Modwright buffer is very intriguing. I’m not aware of another company with as much pedigree ma... | |
| A little tube magic? Budget would be around 1,000-2,000 if I were to keep my current ss pre. If I’m replacing it then budget would be 3,000-4,000. Really would like to stick with McIntosh for the simplicity of operation for the wife and guest. Which leaves me feeling ... | |
| A little tube magic? Speakers are C7es3 XD. I listen at moderate I would say volumes. Sometimes I get peaks in the 90db range usually about 70-85 db average. I’d probably look into something that had at least 75 watts. The Mc275 would be an obvious choice with my McIn... | |
| A little tube magic? I would love to run a tube power amp but nervous about running 50+ hours a week. How long do most power tubes last? It seems it could be pretty expensive swapping 6+ tubes on the regular. | |
| A little tube magic? Not a waste of time at all. I may end up giving the Foz a shot at some point. Thanks for the suggestions. | |
| A little tube magic? I have a McIntosh C46 as my preamp so I don’t think I need the Lokius. How exactly do you suppose I would use the tone controls? I’m not really looking to change the tonal balance really. More looking add the sense of space, presence, and bloom y... | |
| A little tube magic? Interesting. I had seen the foz before, but had forgotten about it. How do you feel it effects transparency and clarity? Also is it something you use on occasion or always? Basically trying to understand if you consider it a full time upgrade or j... | |
| Which Harbeths? So feeling a bit stupid. I had only tried the Harbeths with them connected to the 4ohm taps on my McIntosh mc302. Swapped them to the 8ohm taps yesterday evening and a whole different speaker came to life. It’s different enough that I’m still taki... | |
| Which Harbeths? ATC along with Proac are at the top of my to try next list. Thinking about maybe the ATC scm11 instead of the 19 because I’ve read it’s a bit warmer. Although I don’t necessarily want to give up clarity for warmth. I really want warmth and clarity... | |
| Which Harbeths? I don’t think I’m really willing to play around with other amplifiers right now. I’m really trying to find a pair of speakers that are clearly superior to what I have. Not just a bit better here and a bit worse there sort of thing. I’m realizing ... | |
| Which Harbeths? I’ll definitely give them a couple months at least and see what I think after adjusting to there sound. I’m open to keeping them but I’m also open to selling them and putting my totems back. I’m not really after something that is maybe slightly b... |
