| Who knew? @ghdprentice Glad to hear you have a local ‘fettler’,one that you like. The eye opener to me was that while I was at Stan’s, he showed me a couple of areas that the previous’ fettler’ erred with. Simple things, but important aspects. For example... | |
| Who knew? @theophile is that a constructive comment? | |
| Who knew? @jasonbourne71 Glad you like your vintage LP12, but don’t miss out on a chance to hear a new one if you can get the opportunity. Only problem is that you may well want to open your wallet at that point. | |
| Who knew? @lewm I very much doubt that there was an issue with the arm wiring until I underwent the several hour trip to see Stan. Highly likely that the wire to connector got loose in the car. Before that, I had absolutely no issues with drop outs or any ... | |
| Help Deciding On New Speakers For Small Room, $10k budget My dedicated room is approximately the same size as the OP’s. If in budget, a used pair of Sonus Faber GH’s would put a smile on your face, they do mine. | |
| Guitar playing audiophiles, Martin or Taylor? I own a Taylor 810. I played twelve 810’s before I bought the one I own, every one was slightly different, but only one spoke to me. Nobody should pick out a guitar for another player, they should only do this themselves, unless they are a rank be... | |
| Toe in is crucial @sounds_real_audio Interesting comment, does that apply to what i posted above?? @baylinor That is my experience as well. | |
| Toe in is crucial This subject is on my mind right now. For years, I was listening in my room with no toe-in. About two years ago, i decided to toe in my speakers to see what, if anything, i might be missing. At the time, the toe-in I achieved allowed me to 'improv... | |
| How Is This Possible? Must be Counterfeits One of the brands that seems to be copied extensively is Furutech. The Chinese knock offs are not that easy to spot, plus they duplicate the plugs well. Unfortunately, there are loads of Furutech cables out there that are being sold as legit, when... | |
| Borresen X3 vs Harbeth 40.2 -- my impressions As an owner of some great Sonus Faber’s, i can say that i truly enjoy listening to the Harbeth models, particularly the 40’s. In the right room, I have heard the 40.2’s absolutely sing. They require a larger room than most folks can easily accommo... | |
| Any Experience with Furutech Unfiltered Power Distributors I use a Furutech ETP-66G, it replaced a more expensive power strip. The Furutech is excellent. I like the fact that is allows for six outlets, is easy to place and is essentially neutral when it comes to SQ. The price is also attractive. | |
| Borresen X3 vs Harbeth 40.2 -- my impressions @helomech At the THE show this year, I asked the rep and distributor in the Borresen room as to the source of their cabinets, as I was under the same impression that you have, that being only the X series is not made in Denmark. I was told that a... | |
| Borresen X3 vs Harbeth 40.2 -- my impressions In some ways, the choice between the Harbeths and the Borresens could be attributed to the consumers budget. The majority of the Borresen line is priced far in excess of the Harbeths. What I hear when we go up in price with the Borresens is a more... | |

| Borresen X3 vs Harbeth 40.2 -- my impressions As an ex pro studio musician, I really have a hard time with folk who profess to know exactly what a musical instrument sounds like, and therefore, others don’t. In the pro music world, particularly in the studio area, we know that the sound of a... |
