Harbeth 40.2A - LFD NCSE Mk3 and Hegel H590 Compared
Hey Peter nice write-up and glad you like your new amp so much and I know those 40.2's are amazing speakers. One question have you tried going back to the LFD after listening to the Hegel? That can be a very revealing comparison if you haven't don... 
What was your most fun and rewarding upgrade?
My current speakers I got about 2.5 years ago. I'd really struggled finding speakers I loved flipped through a bunch then we bought our small condo I traded for a pair of original JMlabs Micro-Utopias. I liked and ran them for almost 10 years,  th...

Issue with Tidal
I had that same thing happen it was weird. Logged in and all was fine. 
I was going to give my son a system, with brand new Solid Steel rack but he has AirPods???

Wilson Audio Pedestal

What speakers are these
Can you link to a pic?
