| Dedicated Harbeth P3 Thread I think the bass on the P3s is surprisingly better than you might think, especially when paired with the Purist Poseidon speaker cables. Very full and balanced, even with pop music. I listen to James Taylor, Eryica Badu, Shelby Lynn, Ricki Lee Jon... | |
| Dedicated Harbeth P3 Thread I think Harbeths are probably most touted for their abilities with vocals and acoustic music. As with any small speaker, playing large-scale classical works are not really their forte, unless you're listening at background levels. But for piano,... | |
| RIP Chick Corea They're putting together a hell of a band up there. Hopefully up there. Very sad loss. My wife passed away on the same day as Jack Bruce. | |
| 1 song you never get sick of? I always like "Sympathy for the Devil". Ruby Tuesday was good too. | |
| JBL L300 - true myth? I didn't know that they were Nelson Pass' favorite speaker. Interesting because when I worked in the studios, we used to joke that the JBL 4311's were so bad that if you got the mix sounding good on them, it would sound great anywhere. So maybe ... | |
| Need speaker advice @simna - as you are 'set" on keeping your amp, perhaps you should listen to something from Trenner & Friedl. I owned the Pharoahs for several years, driven with an 18 wpc set amp and I thought they were great. They are fairly efficient and w... | |
| Need speaker advice You are in somewhat of a difficult position, as listening to rock with a 12 wpc amp requires very efficient speakers, combined with the fact that you are listening very close to the speakers, so the room with soften nothing. Plus, all the brands l... | |
| recommendation for rca interconnect for deeper bass for dac to preamp I'm glad you resolved your issue. I was going to recommend the Purist Neptune interconnect, which, in my system, rendered a very full, but pure and clear tone, but now you don't need it. Good for you. | |
| If Cables Are Not Tone Controls... I am using Purist cables as well. They sound wonderful in my system. Or should I say, the system sounds wonderful with the Purist cables. Am I using them as tone controls? Couldn't say. | |
| Best upgrade for cd player? Why don't you let Modwright do it's thing on it? Really, I had an Oppo for a while and never could get used to the CD sound. They are going for such good prices, if you don't modify it, why don't you sell it and buy a better player? A friend of ... | |
| If Cables Are Not Tone Controls... @lalitk- how can one know if the cable is transparent unless you compared it to hard wiring? I think Wywires or Wireworld claims to do just that. | |
| If Cables Are Not Tone Controls... @hilde45 - building on what you said, I think the real meaning is don’t try to fix a component you don’t like with cables. I think almost everyone believes that or at least say they believed it. I certainly believed it . Then again, I have a pair ... | |
| DAC for carousel cd player? From what I can see on the web, your player has a toslink digital out. You can connect this to the input of virtually every dac and it should be a significant improvement. Will you hear it? I don't know. You would connect the toslink output on... | |
| What speakers are shown in the movie The Counselor? I recall the big McIntosh stack in the Departed. The corrupt cop's girlfriend quickly jams a CD into the drawer and slaps it closed with her hand. Ouch! | |
| Can the top end of a PrimaLuna Evo integrated be tamed w/tube rolling? Not many Naim users here, but as someone with a long history with the products, using the outboard power supplies on Naim equipment can be transformative. I don’t know what the Supernait will accept, but if it can take a hicap or 2, it makes a big... |
