| Looking for a vinylesk sounding DAC some good recommendations already. May I add - Metrum Acoustics NOS R2R DAC's. I have both the Onyx and the Adagio. Fantastic sound - cannot ask for more. Driving my Harbeth using hybrid Croft amps. Sweet combination. | |
| Looking for a new integrated amp 1. Croft Integrated amplifier 2. Belles Aria Integrated OP - I was in your position not too long ago. Key is to make sure you pair the integrated amp closely to your speakers. I am sure there is a forum just for Tekton speakers where you can lear... | |
| More power for moderate listening levels? OP I was in the same dilemma not too long ago. My current set up, which I settled for is a small office (14x8) where I do low to moderate level listening. I have Harbeth p3esr and Croft Integrated amplifier. The pair excel and I mean excel in lo... | |
| What power amp or integrated amp are you using with your Harbeth speakers @deadhead1000 - thank you and God bless. | |
| Preamp for R2R DACs @soix being an old post - thought I should share how the office set up paned out. Ended up selling OPPO 105 and the KRK Rokit (possibly the 2 weakest links). Current set up for office (15x8) room. HP dedicated laptop running Roon Core Metrum Onyx ... | |
| Are there any tube amps that don't give off any--- Croft Integrated Amplifier. The best hybrid amp period. Heat generated is minimal and sound is the best I've heard. | |
| What power amp or integrated amp are you using with your Harbeth speakers @deadhead1000 Luxman AX590II is my dream amp. It’s beautiful and class A. I am sure it sounds amazing. | |
| Versatile, non-fatiguing speakers for a small room under $1500 used or new: advice needed! Proac Tablette 10. They are British brand and are known for being non-fatigue, detailed with famous BBC broadcast vocals. I listen to all genre of music from pop, electronic, jazz, country, folk, indie - these speakers have not failed me. Just lik... | |
| Proud Harbeth p3esr owner - need help tweaking/troubleshooting Hi all, a bit of an update. It's been 13 days since I have owned the Croft Integrated and maybe I have put in around 160+ hour on it. The sound has changed drastically from when I first bought the amp. The sudden change I noticed yesterday, and si... | |
| What power amp or integrated amp are you using with your Harbeth speakers @jjss49 I agree with you - except had I not brought in my large Earthquake 300 w/channel, 1.6V line in, 120 lbs tank of an amp into my office to do a A/B I would have been content with the Croft. Used my second Metrum Jade DAC as pre. It defini... | |
| What power amp or integrated amp are you using with your Harbeth speakers @fjn04 you could not be more correct about Alan watching over HUG. lol. I have read most of the opinions on that forum and really come out with Luxman, Hegal, LFD and inclining towards more power using a solid state amp. Curious on your take on C... | |
| Proud Harbeth p3esr owner - need help tweaking/troubleshooting thank you for all your input. I tell you this hobby take a lot of time and $$ - but it's very gratifying. Wrote to Glenn Croft and he recommended ' The absolute phase will need to be corrected by reversing the speaker leads'. I did that by switch... | |
| Proud Harbeth p3esr owner - need help tweaking/troubleshooting Well I have more news for someone interested - today I took my office set up in my main listening room. First hooked up the Harbeth to the Croft integrated using the Metrum Onyx DAC and the same IC and speaker cables - so standard set up as in m... | |
| Proud Harbeth p3esr owner - need help tweaking/troubleshooting another tweak this morning which helped lower the sensitivity of the amp - using the variable volume at the DSP level in Roon. Now I can adjust how much my DAC is outputting and at 10% reduction have reached a sweet spot on my Croft without compro... | |
| Proud Harbeth p3esr owner - need help tweaking/troubleshooting @ryder do agree 100% @mapman Bel Canto is a class D amp and don't think it has tubes. Besides I am avoiding a one box shop with DAC/digital and analog in one. I am very happy with my stand along Metrum Onyx DAC. |
