| Burned out Audiophile - Trying to Find some Zen Anyone read the book "Affluenza"? It may be a cure for Audiophile burnout. | |
| Burned out Audiophile - Trying to Find some Zen I'm with Newbee--it's really a matter of looking at this as a hobby. Try this, try that and learn something new. I started out in hifi when Stereophile and TAS were not in bed with the equipment manufacturers (at least not overtly). Then you could... | |
| Harbeth owners/ speakers rock ? Hmm. If a had to pick one speaker to own for the next 10-20 years it would have to be the Harbeth's. I've been trying to find a pair to attractive floorstanding speakers in the 6-8K range for over a year now (something my wife will find more attra... | |
| Harbeth owners/ speakers rock ? Drubin. Feel free to email me off the thread to share your views. | |
| Harbeth owners/ speakers rock ? Drubin. You got the Super HL5's and haven't told us what you think???? Perhaps it is because you are still breaking them in. Don't leave us in the dark--I have high hopes for you and those puppies.Relative to the thread: Yeah, Harbeth's rock in th... | |
| Norah Jones? Anyone see the spoof commercial done on Mad TV? Really pokes fun at the sameness of her tunes. FWIW I really like to unwind to her records--not serious listening material but sets the mood right on Friday after a long week. I happen to think the r... | |
| Harbeth Owners - What do you think? Tomryan. Try John Rutan at Audio Connection in Verona, NJ. He may be willing to help. | |
| Harbeth Owners - What do you think? Drubin. I listened to the SCM 35 as part of my search. Nice speaker. Nothing extraordinary there, IMHO. The Harbeth's are better by a significant margin. I'm trying to find something that will exceed the Harbeth's by a good margin--otherwise, why ... | |
| VPI Scout Belt Noise Interesting note. I emailed Mike at VPI when at the same time I put up the post. He said to put a little lightweight machine oil on your finger, rub it in and then touch the inside of the belt while the plattter is spinning. Totally new paradigm! ... | |
| Harbeth Owners - What do you think? Drubin. I am drooling at the thought. However, if you follow the HUG posts Alan Shaw seems to have some serious reservations about building a floorstander that can compete sonically with the monitors. He is all about panel resonances and seems to ... | |
| Harbeth Owners - What do you think? Drubin. You will be surprised. In my experience, the Harbeth's resolve detail in an extraordinarily natural fashion. The first time I heard the Compact 7 I thought I was listening to an electrostatic speaker--such was the unboxiness and level of d... | |
| Harbeth Owners - What do you think? Drubin. I would be very surprised if the HL5's did not give you everything you are after. I have been listening to a lot of speakers over the past 18 months and I don't think there is currently anything better on the market (sub 10K) than those. E... | |
| Harbeth Owners - What do you think? Tomryan. I'd be interested in your views on the Proac 2.5 as I am looking for a floorstander to replace my Compact 7s. I am thinking of the 2.5 or new D25 as a possibility. After you get the Monitor 30's or C7's up and running I'd be interested in... | |
| VPI Scout Belt Noise Janikian. Did it. Stopped the noise. Thanks. | |
| Harbeth Owners - What do you think? Tomryan:I'm going to take the quick way out and second what was said above--particularly Arnold's spot on assessment. I've owned C7ES for over 6 years now and love them to bits. Clinical? Absolutely, positively, no friggin way. Quite the opposite.... |
