| Got Noise? Guys:I may have been unclear and so driven the discussion off the rails. Almarg: your synopsis "a" is not correct: amp on + preamp off = noise. Again, none of the other components make the hissing noise alone or together. Just the amp when on alon... | |

| Got Noise? Sorry, Al, I forgot to include answers to 2 and 3 in my reply. 2) Flipping the ground switch introduced an additional hum so I moved it back to the original position. 3)Muting the preamp eliminated the hissing noise. Let me know if this alters you... | |
| Got Noise? I played around a little last night and here is where we are:I confirmed that the noise is ONLY present when the amp is on. I can turn on any/all other components and don't hear the hissing sound. Disconnecting the amp from the rest of the compone... | |

| Dynavector 20XL-2 vs. Soundsmith Zypher Thanks all. Bifwynne, I'm actually now leaning toward the 20X2 H instead of the 20X2 L so I can go into the MM input of my Herron. So, your experience with both these carts is very helpful. Can you discuss the differences you hear between the two ... | |
| Recommend a Tube Pre & SS Amp Combo You could do a Modwright LS100 and KWA150 for about $5K used, including some Sophia 6SN7's and a Mullard for the rectifier which take the performance of the LS100 to a significantly higher level. I've been using this combination for almost a year ... | |
| Most forgiving high end speaker 10k-20k? I agree on the Harbeth M40.1 recommendation. I would also suggest you investigate Daedalus Audio. Very resolving yet never fatiguing. | |
| speakers prior to owning Harbeth 7es 3's I went from 7ES2's to Daedalus and got just what I was after--the same tonal purity and non-fatiguing sound but larger with more detail and dynamics. I ran them with Audio Research electronics (LS26/SD135) and the same X03Se you are using for a wh... | |
| Should i move rack to sidewall? I've pondered the same question after reading GBS. I've mostly had my rack (or in my other house a large entertainment center) between the speakers and have wondered to what degree it is impacting the sound quality of my system. Though I have neve... | |
| Speaker Cables for Harbeth P7ES-3 -where to start? I'm a former C-7 owner and agree with what has been said above. I bought mine in England while living there for a year and had them connected to a crappy Japanese receiver with some old Monster cable for a few months before bringing them home--the... | |

| Clearaudio Ovation I was hoping to get to John's for that event but I had other plans that could not be changed. Thanks for sharing your observations! | |
| Esoteric K-03/Plinius CD-101 Steelhead:As a X03SE owner and K03 wannabe I'd love to hear your views following a comparison of the two units. Please scratch that itch and set up a listening session with both and get back to us! |
