| Tone controls -- assuming you're ok with them, when would you try them? I have found that people who love tone controls & room correction gizmos do so because they don't want acoustic treatments plastered all over the walls of the Home & Garden living room.IMO this remixes the original sound.Closer to the trut... | |
| Purchasing DVD or blue ray recordings of live orchestral performances There is a whole new world out there for you.I like elusivedisc.com,musicdirect.com & Amazon.com..There are also a ton of concerts posted on uTube.com,try searching specific performers or Composers..Another avenue is many city symphonies have ... | |
| im going to put this in as many forums as i can.... I did notice a slight bit of grain or edginess in the high treble(flutes & such) when I first got my new amp & speakers.Before I spent big $ upgrading from the PST-8 I decided to swap out the $0.50 wall receptacle.Went with the Voodoo Audi... | |
| OMG OMG OMG Harbeth M30.1 INCOMING!!!A Few Questions For Owners Biasing required working a powered up,bottomless & upside down amp with 2 multimeter probes and a screwdriver.As bad as my hands shake that's not a good combination.My new amp has bias test points & adjustment pots right on the top,next to... | |
| OMG OMG OMG Harbeth M30.1 INCOMING!!!A Few Questions For Owners ^^^Yea that little Quad amp was something special but had a bad design flaw I couldn't live with so I sold it & got a Cayin CS-55.These are the only speakers I've ever had that can clearly show the differences in cables & tubes..I settled ... | |
| OMG OMG OMG Harbeth M30.1 INCOMING!!!A Few Questions For Owners They are without a doubt the finest speakers I have ever owned..I'm searching for a back alley doctor to remove a kidney so I can upgrade to the 40.2's.... | |
| Harbeth Love and your experiences I upgraded to M30.1's(Ebony)about a year ago,driven by Cayin KT88 integrated amp(45wpc.),cabled with Nordost Norse series Red Dawn in a smallish,well treated room & have NEVER been happier with my system!They really do have an electrostatic,se... | |
| Harbeth M30 Yea 12 years is a stretch but then again bumping dead threads with pertinent information doesn't hurt either as folks still shop for these speakers(or whatever product it might be).. I myself have been living with M30.1's(Ebony)for the last year,d... | |
| im going to put this in as many forums as i can.... +1..I have used the PST-8 for many years in main & backup systems.Compared them to several much more expensive conditioners & never found the need to upgrade. | |
| Any suggestions on inexpensive headphones for a Nakamichi SoundSpace 5? What do you consider inexpensive?Can you use open back or do you need closed back for sound control?Output impedance is pretty low,300ohm cans like Sennheisers might sound slow & muddy.My go to reference under $500.00 is the HiFiMan HE400i(abo... | |
| Stand-mount speaker/monitor recommendation Move up the Harbeth line to the M30.1/30.2 Anniversary!I'm in audio nirvana with my 30.1's driven by KT88's! | |
| What are the best bang for the buck on higher end headphones? For you guys with Planar cans if you haven't heard them through a full tube amp you haven't heard what they can truly do!Look at the magical APPJ Audio PA1502 with a full boat of NOS tubes or a hybrid with NOS small signal. | |
| Which Dynaudio or Wilson Speakers for My Room Size? Never heard any Wilson speakers so can't comment but have heard Dynaudio Excite X34's driven by a vintage CJ Solid State amp & tube PreAmp along with the Special 25's driven by several different SS & Tube amp combinations.I can not imagine... | |
| High quality headphone cables - HiFiMAN HE-400i The HE400i is a SUPERB can!They were my first high end headphone & I have compared several cables on them & also direct comparison with several more costly headphones from Quad,Audeze & Sennheiser.I found that cables didn’t really make... | |
| What are the best bang for the buck on higher end headphones? I too like the HiFiMan house sound.I found the Audeze slow & slightly plodding compared to HFM,the Focal too much like the original Senn HD800 on top & not as sweet in the middle.I settled in on the HE6 reissue driven off the 4ohm taps on ... |
