| The Harbeth phenomenon "Anyone who listens to Harbeth and doesn’t hear an electrostatic clarity and to die for tone either needs his ears cleaned or the playback system checked!" Nice...freediver- May I ask what amp you use. My winding road has featured Thiel, Mirage, ... | |
| Merrill GEM Dandy PolyTable vs. Well Tempered Amadeus You are certainly on the right track. Exactly what I would be considering in that price range. I own an Amadeus (mk. 1) now, and still enjoy it in a second system. It really sings with an EMT Tsd series, and Charisma (Denon) 103. I'd also like to... | |
| Koetsu Rosewood - Best/safest way to clean stylus I will ad one little tidbit to lewm’s Magic Eraser suggestion. The ME square is so light, and when lifting stylus with Q-lever it may lift the ME itself slightly because of friction. Just to give the ME square some weight to it,I cut a horizontal ... | |
| Yamaha integrated amp as3000 vs Pass integrated What are your speakers efficiency and impedance rating. I haven't looked in to the Luxman line, but the importer is in my neck of the woods. Interesting thing is there is now a choice of class A or AB at similar price points. I've only heard the L... | |
| Seeking advice on several specific MC Step Up Transformers I am in nowhere man's land with you. When it comes to SUT's, the often used BLACK ART phrase is pretty accurate. There are some who delve a bit deeper in to specs and matching... Dave Slagle and Bob Sattin come to mind. The A23 units are also an o... | |
| My Personal Gift The Luxman PD-171 A Turntable. Thanks luxmancl38. I enjoy it, and feel very fortunate to have it. The Kuzma tonearms seem to have quite a following. The tables however, seem to get overlooked in the US. I've seen so many threads that mention Brinkmann, AMG, TW... but somehow no... | |
| My Personal Gift The Luxman PD-171 A Turntable. Kuzma Stabi Ref 2... Kuzma Ref 313 VTA. | |
| My Personal Gift The Luxman PD-171 A Turntable. You may want to consider an Air Tight PC-7. That's a gorgeous table. I've heard it, and was truly impressed. Congrats. I should mention my PC-7 is not quite broken in, but it's quite a cartridge. | |
| Thoughts on the EAT C series tables Always appreciate your input Sir.... Thank You! | |
| Thoughts on the EAT C series tables no romance-It does everything better than the Amadeus, as well as it should for 4X the price. I find the Amadeus has a lively sound, with a nice 3D presentation. It certainly doesn’t sound like a big table though. That feeling of deep effortless b... | |
| New speakers? No thanks. Hmmm- I heard there aren't many sources to get wasted in Seattle. Good luck anyway though. | |
| Harbeth with Croft phono integrated vs Yamaha AS1100/AS2100 freediver- the Croft/P3’s are my second system, which I tend to use at times when I don’t want to fire up my main system...often for short listening sessions. Of course, it sounds good enough to where I end up listening for hours. To be honest, I ... | |
| Thoughts on the EAT C series tables Have you tried an SUT in to the Monbrison. The Orpheus is supposed to be a wonderful cartridge... I tried several SUT's, and direct in to a Monbrison when I owned it. This was using a Koetsu, so my opinion should be taken with extra grains of salt... | |
| Thoughts on the EAT C series tables I never did get to hear the EAT. I ended up with the Kuzma Ref 2, which while a stretch of my price range, has been a great purchase. I went with the Kuzma Ref 313 Gimbal arm. I still have an Amadeus Mk 1, which I use in a small (room) setup with... | |
| People That Have Upgraded From Harbeth 30.1s.... prof... let me know if you hit upon anything special. Lately I'm really digging Tom Petty: Full Moon Fever, with Future Disk stamped in dead wax. Cheers -Don |
