| Want More Bass Get a sub, dude, and be happy. | |
| Harbeth C7- Tube or solid state power? They were designed using Quad ss amps. Most of us that converse on the Harbeth user group use ss amps and are quite happy.Good luck,Charlie | |
| Noisy pot? Sift out the seeds, dude. | |
| State of the art remote pre amp? Reality? I would include the Z-Systems rdp-1. This is a digital pre-amp and equalizer. Works perfectly, but requires an anologue-digital converter for analogue hook ups. (They sell these too.)Charlie | |
| Miles Davis Kind of Blue...any options on cd? I also have the Columbia/Legacy SBM, but mine is CK 64935. This reissue corrects for proper speed off the master tape. Older versions had some cuts that were apparently recorded a little slow and the pitch was off.Enjoy,Charlie | |
| Amp On or Off? Off when not in use. Ask you amp's designer if it sounds different, in their experience, after it has been on a while. My designer said turn it off, but not tell anyone, if I wanted to stay in the "club." I do not appreciate in difference in sound... | |
| Power cord for an REL Sub Overboard. (Unless you buy one from dekay, then it is OK.) | |
| Upper midrange glare prominence -- EQ rules! You could get a Z-Systems rdp-1 for a measly 5K.Charliep.s. Rives is correct, as is becoming their pattern here. (Careful, Rives, they will run you away if you start making too much sense.) | |
| Digital direction Bel Canto DACs are very good. All my HDCD discs sound very nice via this upsampling dac.Charlie | |
| How to tame the high of harbeth C7 Mark,I used to use a Creek 5350SE with my C7s. It worked perfectly. A bit underpowered for large scale orchestral moments, but listening in near-field, I never pushed it to clipping. Please don't fool with the speakers. Mr Shaw did all that for yo... | |
| How to tame the high of harbeth C7 Note: anyone who says "inherent sizzle in these bbc type desings" has never heard a pair of Harbeth Compact 7ES-II. Take any advice with a huge grain of salt.Charliep.s. What cds do you notice this with? | |
| How to tame the high of harbeth C7 Well, sir, it sure is not the speakers. I use my C7s on 22 inch stands and listen in near-field and they are not bright. (They are just RIGHT!) Everyone's suggestions as to looking at room interactions seem like the way to go. Something is wrong, ... | |
| Is there a cd player that sounds close to an LP? You probably have "bright" audiophile type speakers and there is a particular drop off in your cartridge that offsets the tizziness that is inherent in you speakers. (It probably does sound better.) Don't use cables as tone controls, I bet you wou... | |
| What CD titles to get from BMG???? Get yourself some Lyle Lovett cds and enjoy.Charlie | |
| looking for a chair I use an "office" chair which pneumatically adjusts in height and is just high enough to rest my upper neck/lower head on the back, which is quite comfortable and does not reach my ears to reflect anything. Best of both worlds.Charlie |
