| Need help with a pair of small speakers Don't own the Harbeth 7ES-II but they're supposed to be great if you can stretch your budget. Agree with previous posters on the Spendor S3/5s (which I own), which beat the classic LS3/5s (own 2 pairs). Excellant for the type of music you play, an... | |
| AudioMeca vs. AudioAero vs. Electrocompaniet I bought a used Prima for the system in my study (Rogue Tempest Magnum, Spendor S3/5s) and liked it so much that I bought the Capitole for the main rig. Haven't heard the Keops or EMC so I can't give you a comparasion.BTW, seem to recall seeing Bw... | |
| What cd player should I buy? Try to audition the Audio Aero Prima, little brother to the Capitole. Used to sell for $1500 but I think the price has gone up to $1800 now. | |

| Best speakers in 2k-3k price point Try to audition the Spendor SP1/2s. Accurate but but very natural sounding. Non-fatiguing and great with all types of music, particulary vocals, although perhaps not a head-bangers favorite. Hold their dynamics at low listening levels. High qualit... | |
| Noise, hum and AC polarity Thanks Sean - you've cleared up a mystery. Have heard the term "absolute polarity" - is that a different type or one and the same. | |
| Amazing Solo Piano Recordings Sorry, no recommendations - just wanted to "tag" this thread so I can easily follow it. Great stuff - digging through my old lps for some Bill Evans - thanks Albertporter for reminding me. | |
| Diagnosis: Cartridgecide Do you have another cartridge to swap in? If so, try it. If the problem repeats, at least you've eliminated the DV. If it there's no problem put the DV back in and try again. If the problem is still there, get your DV a passport. | |
