| Why do modern DACs over $1,000 sound different? A follow up question (or two) about jitter and how to reduce it.After reading this thread, I have a question. I have a Sony cd changer that I use because of the convenience. It has an optical output. I am thinking about trying a DAC to learn if I ... | |

| Stereotimes phishing? Your suggestion worked. Thanks for taking the time to respond. | |
| Paul Motian RIP I'm like Edorr: I discovered Paul Motian a few years ago when I received a gift of his "I Have the Room Above Her". I had heard him on Bill Evans' Village Vanguard recordings but never paid much attention to his playing. "I Have the Room Above Her... | |
| How Long Ago Since You Cried Listening To Music? Whenever I listen to the beginning of Nathan Milstein playing the Chaconne from Bach's Violin Partita #2. For me, this piece captures a life's experience, and it is the beginning, Birth, that brings tears to my eyes.As for live performances, about... | |
| Top 5 Hamburgers Vista Pub, Brookings, Oregon. Way down in southwestern Oregon on Hwy 101. Local organic beef, local buns and toppings, handcut homemade fries, and a great selection of Northwest microbrews. Great stuff. | |
| Prefered Amplifiers to run with Harbeth M40.1 There's a Harbeth owner named "Denjo," who posted his extensive experience using many different amps with his speakers. The thread was here, on AA, or at the Harbeth Users Group. I think you'd find it worth your time to track it down. Good luck. | |
| Guilty Pleasure via Reader’s Digest This is a great thread! My mother was not a fan of classical music, but she believed that my younger brother and I should be exposed to it. So she purchased the Music of the World's Greatest Composers and, later, the World's Greatest Light Classic... | |
| Best live album you've ever heard? Otis Redding -- Live in Europe | |
| Has anyone switched from Dynaudio to Harbeth I haven't switched from one to the other, but I auditioned both brands when I was last in the market for speakers. After listening to Dynas, both some Focus models and the Contour 3.4, for several hours at a dealer's, I thought they sounded very g... | |
| American Folk/Bluegrass music to die for For something a little different from what you describe, try John Fahey. His creative slide guitar compositions, which rest in traditional songs but play to modern sensibilities, may not be the type of music you're seeking, but they're contemporar... | |
| Classics you can't have too many recordings of Shostkovich's 24 Preludes and FuguesMonk's Blues (well, I think it's a classic) | |
| Melody Gardot in concert she's in Seattle 6/19 I saw her Portland appearance advertised after I'd already made plans to go to Walla Walla for the weekend. We drank some great wine and ate some terrific food there. Still, I wish I could have been in two places at once. | |
| Harbeth HL5 vs M30 If you can't audition, trying to buy a speaker on other people's opinions can be dicey. There are a number of reviews and opinions about how the speakers sound to other people. If they don't give you the confidence to take a plunge, I can think of... | |
| Review: Harbeth Super HL-5 Speaker Ryder, thanks for the very informative post. I have M30's and have been thinking about finding a replacement for the Classe CAP 101 that I use. Your experience is helpful.I think you should post your findings in the Harbeth User Forum. As I unders... |
