| Harbeth 40.3's. Should I buy them? I have the buchardt 400 mk 2 special edition and they are nice and do some things very well. I enjoy them in my smaller 12x14 bedroom system. I had them in my big system room and not so much. I have been through a lot of speakers over the years... | |
| Esoteric F-05 Integrated - any opinions? Hi guys I was looking at the Esoteric for my office system that uses two sets of speakers in two different rooms. The speaker switching makes this appealing. I had. 20 watt Luxman here before but it was just to hot in my small office in the summ... | |
| Amps for KEF Blade 2 Since the blades tend towards a lifeless sound I think an amp with some life, like maybe a tube amp would do them some justice. I had the blade 2s with the Theta Prometheus for a few years and I'm sure this contributes to my opinion of the speake... | |
| Cartridges I had a VPI classic 3 and an Ortofon Cadenza black and switched to a Dynavector XV 1S and it a was a nice upgrade. I still think the Cadenza sounded really good and had a lot of that next level sound you get from the best carts. I don't know the... | |
| One turntable with two arms, or two turntables with one each - which would you prefer? I have a table with 2 arms (feikert blackbird, Kuzma 4pt and schick 9,6. Koetsu Onyx on the Kuzma arm, Ortofon SPU grand royal on the Schick. I also have a Rega P8 with Hana Umami Red. Phonostage is Manley steelhead so I can plug all 3 in at on... | |
| Manley Chinook - setting for Ortofon Quintet Black S I would spend some time and use your ears to determine the best loading for your system. It's kind of the icing on the cake so to speak with getting the tone just how you like it. Lower is usually fuller sounding but can rob some transparency. ... | |
| Integrated Amp Suggestions The Creek Destiny has the A/B speakers. I require this also as I use one system to feed either the speakers on my office desk or out in the shop. I bought an expensive Luxman integrated that also does A/B. speakers and was very unimpressed with ... | |
| KEF celebrates sixty years with the LS60 Wireless Good luck with these. I had the LS50W, LSX and blade 2. All had issues. Now my daugthter's LSX are broken after 3 years. I also bought a Muo portable speaker and that was dead at just over a year so no warranty. Never buying another Kef produ... | |
| Decware SE84UFO Zen vs First Watt SIT3 I think you describe the Zen well. I have many amps and I keep coming back to the little zen amp, it's so non fatiguing and just pleasant to listen to. I have made many comparisons with the Feliks Audio 300B amp and I am always coming back to t... | |
| Klipsch Forte IV ... what amp ? Decware Zen triode is a no brainer | |
| I want to move from Rega Planar 6 help me to pick a new turntable I have a P8 with Ania Pro and a VPI Classic 3 with Ortofon cadenza black cart. I really love both tables for different reasons and keep them both in the system and use both hooked to my Manley Steelhead phono stage. Often times I play one side of ... | |
| Schiit Freya + Class A in Stereophile The tube stage is the thing I agree with the Freya, the reason for being. I put some CBS Hytron tubes in the input stage side and it really made the preamp a whole lot better. I wonder how it would compare to an expensive preamp. I was really t... | |
| Cassette decks. How good can it get? Well they must be producing tapes because a lot of new music comes out on Tape only! That is what got me stated on this whole tape thing to begin with. I have aquired a number of new tapes that usually include a download with them, mostly from B... | |
| Power Cord recommendations for a First Watt SIT3 It probably sounds good with the stock cord but wow if you can't hear the change in sound from different power cords you need a new hobby. I'm always like and I'm out on that guys opinion forever when they say power cords or any cords don't make ... | |
| Magnepan LRS Support Group?! I have a pair. I bought just to see what all the hype is about. I am totally amazed by these speakers. They don't do it all for me but wow what they do well is incredible. I keep a solid state amp in my rack (Pass 30.8) and pull out the LRS si... |
