| Revel Salon 2 vs Vandersteen 5a Carbon I have heard the 5A Carbons many times at the Audio Connection before they were discontinued. They are great speakers with an amazing midrange. The high frequencies with the Carbon tweeter make music so natural sounding that you will listen late i... | |
| Clearaudio Ovation Upgrade That's interesting. Member tomstruck has been using it on his Performance DC for years. I will mention this to him. Thanks for the heads up! | |
| Clearaudio Ovation Upgrade The Clearaudio Stainless Steel Outer Limit Ring Clamp works fine on the Performance DC and the DC wood. However, the Ovation is a much better turntable. Also, if your budget can stretch to $10K the AMG Giro is a better sounding TT than both the DC... | |
| Integrated amp recommendations for harbeth 30.2 XD I don't have experience with the Monitor 30's only the 40's and the SHL5 series. The best integrated amps I have heard with the Harbeth's are the Aesthetix Mimas and the Ayre EX-8. The Mimas was what I chose but I liked the EX-8 almost as much. Th... | |
| Speaker Cables No, John doesn't advertise it but he likes it for his Proac customers. For everything else he likes AQ. | |

| Speaker Cables Let’s see if this works. AGOn deleted my DM to you. Apparently they prohibit sending contact info. Ask for John.https://www.audioconnect.com/ | |
| Speaker Cables Why not use Proac's own speaker cables? My dealer uses them with all of his Proac's even though he sells AQ, Cardas and a few other brands. It's not that expensive and sounds great with all Proac speakers. | |

| Speaker pairing for Naim Nait 5i Look at the Vandersteen VLR Wood. It should be a great match to the Naim and can be found (occasionally) in your price range. New they are $1650. Here is a review:https://www.vandersteen.com/media/files/Tone%20Audio%20VLR%20Review%202015.pdf | |
| Moving up the Harbeth line Agree that the TON TRAGER stands are the best for Harbeth’s but if you cannot spend the $1500 for them the Something Solid XF stands are really good.https://www.hificorner.co.uk/something-solid-xf-speaker-stand.htmlThe bass issue will be fixed wit... | |

| Are there any speakers for nearfield listening that sound GREAT at low volumes? The Harbeth P3ESR Loudspeakers play well at low volumes. One of Harbeth's strengths. | |
| Looking for a DAC under 2k The Ayre Codex is a worthy option. A Colorado based company that offers excellent support and service if needed. For under $2K it's a great DAC.https://www.ayre.com/products/digital/codex/ |
