| LP 12 Owners-If you were going to buy a new TT ... soundwatts, I strongly suspect that you were either doing the 'upgrades' yourself, or you had a dealer that was 'less than able' in doing it for you.Once the LP12 is set up correctly it will keep that set up for years. Unfortunately, IF you start ... | |
| Why are Harbeth speakers expensive while its drivers are not. As others above have pointed out, why spotlight Harbeth? Last week I heard a pair of SHL 5 Plus's and I thought they were excellent. i have also heard the others in their line...and all are IMO excellent speakers. There are so many other "offender... | |
