| Speaker cabinet made of real wood Daedalus Audio has gorgeous solid hardwood cabinets. Some speakers, like Harbeth's, are made of birch plywood and then veneered over the top. | |
| VPI Enthusiasts: Going Backwards? I know there is a lot of positive chatter about the Classic but I cannot for the life of me see where the supposed improvement comes from over the Aries/Scout designs. I'll admit, I have not heard it but I just don't get it and am inclined to agre... | |
| Room Setup Question Elescher:Thanks for your input. The problem with putting the speakers on the short wall is one speaker will block access to the room. This is true for both ends of the room. Does anyone have thoughts on what impact the openings into the hallway wi... | |
| How far do you sit from your speakers FWIW I just finished reading Jim Smith's "Get Better Sound" and he recommends a slightly elongated triangle where the distance between the speakers (measured tweet to tweet) is 83% of the distance from your ear to either tweeter. Of course there a... | |
| Moscode 402AU vs Modwright KWA-150 Mca:If you haven't already, I would suggest you speak with Lou. I know he thinks very highly of the KWA-150 with his speakers. | |
| Anyone using a Lyra Delos yet? Cmalak:Thank you for doing the calculation. Can you clarify what it means to be at the upper end of the desired range? How far toward the extreme ends of the range (or outside the range) would you have to go before you experienced sonic degradatio... | |

| Daedalus David:Glad to hear they arrived safely and that you are enjoying the DaRMA's. What amp did you decide to use with them? Keep us posted as you move through the break in period--the sound will change somewhat (for the better) after 100 hours or so. ... | |
| anyone use a Symposium platform under a turntable? Replaced the MDF shelf on my Target PS1 with a Svelt Shelf. Nice. | |
| Harbeth HL5 vs M30 You will not get more resolution with either the SHL5 or Monitor 30. If that is your goal move to another brand. If you want the Harbeth sound with somewhat fuller bass then the SHL5. If you want the Harbeth sound in a slightly more forward presen... | |
| Anyone using a Lyra Delos yet? Anyone use the Delos in a JMW-9 mounted to a Scout? I rarely see Lyra's matched up with Harry's tables--mostly Dyna's and the like. | |
| New Lyra Delos Cartridge Old post I know but I'd appreciate hearing from anyone here who has now used a Delos. Anyone run one of these in a VPI JMW9 (mounted to a Scout?). Great post--thanks Jcarr for your thorough commentary. | |
| Harbeth vs Proac I've had or heard both--2.5, Response 3's, 3.8, D25, D38 and Compact 7's, Super HL5, Monitor 40. The sound is not greatly dissimilar but I prefer the Harbeth's. They are more musically natural sounding while the Proac's tend to sound more hifi. | |
| Is anyone using Harbeth speakers with a sub-woofer Hi Taters:I ran my Compact 7's with a Rel Stadium II for a while in my 14 X 23 X 9 room. The Rel is known for its ability to integrate seamlessly with monitors and I did feel that it added a firmer foundation to the music without a lot of disconti... | |
| McCormack DNA 500 vs DNA 225 upgraded The DNA 250 is said to run considerably hotter than the DNA 500--not sure whether that matters in your application. |
