LTA microZOTL or Backert Labs Rhumba Extreme 1.3?
@soix    Well for starters I've heard LTA...But mainly because of Backerts approach to the power supply which is everything in hifi.   
LTA microZOTL or Backert Labs Rhumba Extreme 1.3?
@panerai557 15db is still alot of gain, depending on the amp and 30 is ton of gain. Most Preamps are 11-12 max.    Personally I think the Backert is the better design over the LTA, should have sprung for that.   
Duelund Tinned Copper Speaker Cables
@williewonka Bryston is overall bright gear, it’s not the cables it’s the Integrated.  
Circle Labs A200 Integrated amplifier review - It will appeal to both tube and SS lovers……
I am sure Circle Labs is great gear,  given the experiences I have had with the dealer who used to distribute them I am not the least bit surprised there was a falling out. I’ve been in hifi for longer than I care to share, certainly longer than t... 
Innuos PULSE Mini?
Demoing one right now in my home now as a digital front end alternate to my Turntable. My analog rig in total is $10k + in cost, (rega p10 and Umami Red) and while it does some different things digital just can not replicate, this little Pulse is ... 
Reynaud Bliss Jubile vs Cantabile Jubile
Reporting back that after some time breaking these speakers in all that shoutiness went away and they sound simply wonderful. Break in is real, and with these speakers it's real LONG. Once they are burned in though they are simply the best monitor... 
Harbeth 30.2 or Falcon Gold Badge
@badgerdms Safe to say you are referring to my post and safe to say you didn’t read it. No need to get defensive, every speaker you own isn’t necessarily for everyone else. Nothing amiss since I plopped the JMRs and they sound glorious. I would... 
Harbeth 30.2 or Falcon Gold Badge
I got a set of 30.2s had them 3 weeks before I sold them. Most boring speaker I have ever listened to, to be fare I was likely underpowering them with my Sugden amp. I wouldn't have like them either way.    Ended up with a pair of JM Reynauds an... 
Reynaud Bliss Jubile vs Cantabile Jubile
I just took delivery of the JMR Jubilee Bliss (with magic stands) a few days ago, maybe 20 hours on them thus far. Initial impressions were they were nice right out the box, but were stiff. All the things you mentioned about the tweeter and shouti... 
Kumza Stabi S or Rega P10 ??
Been running the p10 for a solid few weeks now every day. Love the table, love the catridge. Happy with the choice. Compliments my gear VERY well. I put the P10 on an HRS, not sure it even needed it but sure looks nice. 😂 Overall set and forget i... 
Harbeth 30.2 or Falcon Gold Badge
@larryi    Thanks, this helps, sort of validates what I am thinking as well. I am going to probably buy both and listen for a while then keep which ever I like most. The Falcons were where I started this journey but somehow got convinced the Har... 
Harbeth 30.2 or Falcon Gold Badge
@ryder    Thanks Ryder, nice to hear from a long time owner. In all the years I've been in hifi I have not owned them or quite honestly given them a critical listen. My tastes have changed over the 25 years or so in hifi and these two speaker mo... 
Harbeth 30.2 or Falcon Gold Badge
@deadhead1000    Thanks for the feedback. I listen to alot of that same music so good to know you're enjoying them. I plan to add a KC62 sub to whatever smaller speaker I get.   
Current sensing phono stages w/Rega?
Got the other phono stage, it does NOT have the Buzzing noise, and as I mentioned it is not a current sensing phono, rather a voltage regulating. It’s a great phono stage, but the Konus is better, and the difference is not small. Dynamics are bett... 
Current sensing phono stages w/Rega?
@dover Will do, Thanks for the tip.
