Which integrated amp with Harbeths?
I too have had good results with Nuforce and Harbeth.So what did you end up doing, Northwood_Maine? Curious minds want to know. 
DK Design VS-1 Reference MK3 Noise Issue
I don't think the tube hiss is what pkoh70 is concerned about. He acknowledges that hiss but says he can't hear it at 3 feet away. As I read his posts, the complaint is aboout a separate noice -- a buzz -- that kicks in at the 11 o'clock position ... 
Do these speakers exist?
Am I pathetic, or what?!Are you kidding? You held steady with one pair of speakers for 6 whole months...C'mon, get with the program here. 
Do these speakers exist?
Silverline is 1st order? That surprises me.Here's a thought: the floorstanders from Reference 3A. They are not as strictly time and phase aligned as GMA or Thiel or Vandersteen, but otherwise I think they meet the requirements.

Rel Strata III versus Rel Britannia B3
For music, yes, that's the way REL is designed to work. For HT, you send the LFE signal. 
Rel Strata III versus Rel Britannia B3
I know Artmaltman and when he says "color," he is not referring to coloration. I don't want to put words in his mouth, but I believe he is talking about tonal color or saturation. He and I have had conversations about the sonic equivalent of the c... 
Speltz Anti-cable needs break-in period?
Certainly it's Paul Speltz's contention that the think dielectric of his cable means much less break in required. 
Speltz Anti-cable needs break-in period?
Tgrisham, how do you have the cables spaced when untwisted? 
Need feedback from Bryston amp owners
my brain noticed the different weight and balance, and I started to pay more attention. Once I get acclimated to the differences, I fall back into my comfort zone. I think the same thing happens when you audition stereo equipment.That's a terrific...

AHs anyone heard the new Ayre MX-R mono blocs?
When you get them Tom, can we all come over for a listen? You'll be recovering from your surgery, we'll bring chicken soup.
