Harbeth 30.1, odd USA pricing?
While we're at it, I've wondered about the rather large price delta between the P3ESR and the Monitor 30.1. 
Great guys to deal with in the audio industry
Mark Jenkins at Antipodes.Gary Graff at MG Audio (cables).Everybody at Spearit Sound. 
Miles Davis "Kind of Blue" drove me insane almost
I hear distortion, mainly in the form of piano overload, on lots and lots of older jazz recordings. Just the way it is. 
Bass leaves after amp warms up?
So did you ever NOT have this result? If so, what was the system/environment then? 
Bass leaves after amp warms up?
Is there any conceivable way that. after some playing time, one speaker's crossover is having a major phase shift in the bass that is creating this problem? 
Speaker Cables Upgrade - Which Ones?
Alan Shaw is not an audiophile, not by any stretch. And yet, somehow he manages to design some pretty darn good speakers.

The way it works is this: You enter your phone number and get an automated call to that number with a code you then have to enter. Draw you own conclusions as to how well this qualifies as verified.

I'm betting the SPL test when it happens will be inconclusive. Fishing, do you have a CD with frequency-specific tones you can use, like one of the old Stereophile Test CDs? One-third octave warble tones would probably be good and you want individ...

However, the email also states that a $4 listing fee still applies and a 2% transaction fee once the sale is made (up to $100). That makes no sense. You have a choice of $25 flat OR the old way. There is no commission or $4 listing fee if you opt ... 
Next step after Benchmark DAC1
