| Which SS integrated amp to choose? Sorry, I forgot to mention that the Mimas is a hybrid amplifier with a single tube for each channel. Based on your original post, this may not be an option for you. | |
| Which SS integrated amp to choose? You should take a look at the Aesthetic Mimas. It's the most musical integrated amplifier I have ever heard. I liked it much better than the Luxman with my speakers, Harbeth Super HL5+. You should try to hear it with your speakers though. Good Luck! | |
| Amps for Proac D48R Proac makes their own speaker cable that will work well with the D48's. If you are near New Jersey you should contact John Rutan at the Audio Connection in Verona NJ. He knows how to make the Proacs sing. Good Luck! | |
| Unsolvable Woofer Pumping (Phono only) I had a similar issue with a Pink Triangle turntable using a Moerch tonearm and a Benz Glider. It turned out that my TT was just too close to my speakers. I changed my system layout and the problem disappeared. Good Luck sorting this out. | |

| HH Scott 299B with Harbeth/low-efficiency speakers Hi,The 40's are great speakers that play everything well. The bass was overpowering in my room which is the only reason I sold them. The highs were not as extended as the SHL5+. The midrange was outstanding and the reason I bought them in the firs... | |
| Thoughts about Jadis and Harbeth I am not a fan of any tube amplifier with Harbeth’s though many use tubes and like what they hear. In my opinion you will never hear what the Harbeth’s are capable of with any tube amp that I’ve heard. Alan Shaw uses Quad amps to voice his speaker... | |
| Aesthetix MIMAS It's the best integrated that I have heard. Sounds amazing with my Harbeth's. I didn't hear that the DAC was shipping yet. I will be interested to hear your impressions on it. It wasn't out when I ordered mine and I am still using my Codex. The pl... | |
