| 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! | |
| Best Stand for Harbeth 7ES-3 Compact I used custom made Target three posts with mine (19") but I'm sure the Skyland stands or Sound Anchors are equally good. Let the height be determined by your listening chair and seating position. One suggestion is to make sure the top of the stand... | |
| ARC LS-27 or ARC ref-3 Woooaaah. Bifwynne--why such urgency in your post? This isn't a race. I'm sure both pieces are nice and the differences between them are relatively small. ARC sells lots of units and updates their product line with (some say too frequent) regulari... | |
| Can anyone recommend a better rectifier tube? I'm trying to persuade Sophia Electric to make a 5AR4/GZ34 rectifier tube that would replace the Mullard NOS in my Modwright LS100. I am already using Sophia's 6SN7's and they are wonderful. So, anyone else interested please send them an email and... | |
| Christmas Music and Audiophiles? Not a big fan but my wife gets more leeway in choosing music around the holidays and she likes it so....Vince Guraldi and Diana Krall are passable but my favorite is Mindy Smith. Nicely done and worth checking out. | |
| impact of room treatment I'm also giving this some thought but really want to find something that looks as good as it works. My setup is in my living room so I need my room treatments to look like ART. Suggestions? | |
| What Are The Best 12AT7's and 12AX7's? Has anyone tried the Sophia Electric 12AX7's? I bought a pair of their 6SN7's for my Modwright LS100 and they are beautifully made and excellent sounding tubes, far surpassing the stock tubes that came with the unit. I'm considering trying their 1... | |
| Spiral Groove Centroid tonearm That was fun. Thanks! |
