| Proud Harbeth p3esr owner - need help tweaking/troubleshooting @ghualmr I had no idea you needed 30' of wire! It would set you back a lot more than $2700. Not a good idea. I agree with JJSS49. If you like the Harbeth sound, I would move to a larger model if you have the room for it. | |
| Proud Harbeth p3esr owner - need help tweaking/troubleshooting @ghulamr - I am using a Heed Elixir. 50 wpc. I like it, but I would not describe it as particularly warm. It definitely leans towards the warmer side, but it's not like a tube amp. Maybe you're barking up the wrong tree with the P3s. If you wa... | |
| MM cartridge I had a Rega Exact and I was not a big fan. I thought the sound was kind of lifeless. That said, if you are new to turntables, I think there's a lot to be said for a Rega cart. First of all, you don't have to shim the arm in the back and you wi... | |
| Review: Fritz Heiler’s Carrera BE Bookshelf Speakers I have a pair of Fritz mini-monitors, which are sort of a tribute to the Totem Model 1. I think they are great all-around small speakers. In fact, I bought a pair of Model 1s just to compare and I liked Fritz's better. IMO, many people shy away ... | |
| Proud Harbeth p3esr owner - need help tweaking/troubleshooting @ghulamr - I have the P3 40th and, contrary to everything on the net, I found them to be fussy little bastards and very capable of sounding harsh in some registers. I was going to sell them, but I tried a pair of Purist Posiedon speaker cables and... | |
| The truth...Anyone can consider themselves a consultant, of anything. What qualifies anyone to call themselves an audio reviewer or a music critic or a film critic? Look on You Tube and there are hundreds of people reviewing music, films, audio gear, shaving cream. Fact is, in unlicensed professions, we are free to ... | |
| Good economical used DAC to hunt down I would take a look at the Cambridge dac magic products. Their stuff is generally good sounding and reliable. No need to buy someone else’s headache. At a few hundred dollars, your choices are somewhat limited IMO. I just did a quick search in the... | |
| Upgrade DAC recommendation You don’t mention cables, but if you basically like the sound you have now, you might consider upgrading the IC between your amp and preamp and/or the digital cable unless they’re already top notch. Good cables can really open up the sound, giving... | |
| Cables for Audio Mirror Tubadour III Personally, I would finalize and break in my components before spending a significant amount of money on cables. Otherwise you are just optimizing the sound for components that will be changing in the near future. If you feel compelled to buy so... | |
| Best match for Gershman Black Swans I didn't catch what preamp you are using. Upgrading a preamp can bring huge benefits to the overall quality of a system. I learned this many years ago when I was in my Naim phase. I went to the dealer asking about an amp upgrade and he suggeste... | |
| Dedicated Vinyl system next upgrade? When you are trying to upgrade, I think you need to have a clear picture of what you are trying to improve. Your system looks pretty damn good and, considering everyone here is stabbing in the dark, I would not overlook better speaker cables. I ... | |
| Back to trying to upgrade Harbeth 30.1s I've owned the M30s and now the P3. The Purist Poseidon speaker cables made a dramatic change in the P3s, making them sound much bigger and with deeper, better bass. I never tried them with the M30s, but I think it's worth looking into. Sounds l... | |
| Anyone Using Harbeths with Grilles off? Alan Shaw says grills on give a flatter response. Sometimes you don't want a flatter response. But the difference is admittedly subtle. I prefer Grills off for listening, but grills on for background music while I work. | |
| ...bookshelf speakers that sound good at low volume... I would try a Schitt Loki equalizer. Cheap and may work. You will need another pair of ICs, which some people don't want to do. I have one I would let you try if you want. I live in NY as well. | |
| Confused as to where to go next...looking for warmth If you have access to a local dealer, I would try to work with them on achieving what you are looking for. There is a big difference between buying a good component of the internet and putting together a system that you really like. My advice is... |
