| Harbeth Experts If you haven't already, you should visit Harbeth's web site, which is excellent. There is also a user forum, accessible through the web site, which addresses your question in several threads.The LS 3/5A is designed to the legendary BBC mini monito... | |
| Does the"quality" of jumpers affect the sound? Clio09 is correct. The Spendor 1/2 has two tweeters, as does the Harbeth Super HL5. | |
| Does the"quality" of jumpers affect the sound? I'm pretty sure every manufacturer that offers their speaker in a biwire version believes it absolutely makes a difference. Otherwise, why would they spend the extra money?I wouldn't be so sure. I think many do it because it's "expected". | |
| Does the"quality" of jumpers affect the sound? Let's assume it does make a difference. It still seems to me that a pair of brass bars (or the better copper ones) would have an excellent chance of outperforming two jumper cables of even super-premium pedigree because those cables are (1) longer... | |
| Report on Harbeths vs. Vandersteens Judging from the number of Harbeths for sale now on this site, I'd have to guess that a lot of people took the plunge after that series of great reviews, only to find that Harbeth is not their cup of tea. Same as it ever was. | |
| Report on Harbeths vs. Vandersteens I have the same curiosity about the HL5 vs. the M30. In fact, I'm thinking of picking up a pair of M30s to explore for myself. You can come over for a listen. | |
| Report on Harbeths vs. Vandersteens You might want to look at this thread. I owned Response 2.5's a few years ago and now have SHL5's. The D series of ProAcs is supposed to be a bit different, so I can't offer a direct comparison. But between the two I do know, I would say that the ... | |
| Report on Harbeths vs. Vandersteens The tough thing is to find the formula that works for each "audiophile" listener, and find the right people to help point the way to a satisfying aural experience that takes into account what one's ears are looking for (which, as an aside, can be ... | |
| Break in period Jeez, I think you are all too harsh. My impression of Shadorne is that, far from spreading mischief, he is coming at these discussions from the perspective of an engineer heretofore unexposed to (or unpersuaded by) the esoteric beliefs of high-end... | |
| Nuforce 9.02s powering Maggies? True, but the variability between sources (applies to amplifiers too) is far, far less than between speakers and how they relate to your room. Imagine you put together two identical systems. Then, you make a substitution for the CD player in one o... | |
| Break in period A bit harsh, Paul.It is my impression that even inexpensive gear benefits from break in. | |
| Nuforce 9.02s powering Maggies? It's not? | |
| Review: Bent Audio Tap Linestage Denjo, gain on your CI amps is on the low side. I wonder if it is switchable (it is on many amps) or if Dusty could goose it for you. | |
| Break in period Shadorne, you keep talking about drift in response, but I don't think that's the issue here. It's not that the design is unstable and therefore faulty, it's that individual circuit components (resistors, capacitors, wire perhaps) undergo some chan... | |
| Whose got best class D at this point? So Stereomojo picked as its ultimate winner the one Class D amd that TAS said doesn't even deserve a seat at the table. Goes to show... |
