Why do Harbeth speakers have such a cult following
all speaker has it's own characters. I owned HL5S and it has it's own sound being un-amplified and natural but also lacks dynamic punch and doesn't go very low. They are easy to listen to and very musical with all kinds of musics, I toe tapped wit... 
Difference in quality in products made in China?
I got Audio Space el34 Nova (upgraded caps) for over 5 years and I use it for everything, AV, HI FI 8 everyday.It has been rock solid reliable, not like my other 2 Audio Research VT100 that blows all the time! They actually sounded more natural th... 
Anyone enjoy their amp's sound more than music?
Well, lots of people have 1000 + software but keep going back and listen to the 20-30 favourites. I guest that is enjoying HIFI more than music. Have to say most audiophiles are in this group. 
Lyra Atlas compared to Lyra Titan i
Etna? the latest top model? 
Need a very neutral interconnect-
I found Superconductor iii very neutral in terms of tones. 
Lyra Atlas compared to Lyra Titan i
Hi Syntax, You helped me awhile ago when I brought my TW Raven and I have got the Titan i now. I love the way it tracks and its liveliness compared to my old Dynavector X-1. Could you tell us more details of what you think of the Atlas? It seems y... 
10-15k budget in a 6m x 4m room. Please help.
Desktop speakers are also near field listening like your phones. You are right that 2 channel will sounds very different form your headphones. The room effect could be a nasty surprise! It took me so long to tame the room. I had Proac D28 and hear... 
Any bad experience with wilson audio sasha w/p?
Well, one thing that there should have no debate is 'Pride of ownership'. I was once a proud Wilson owner too! Who don't want to have a pair in their journey? Right? 
10-15k budget in a 6m x 4m room. Please help.
To be honest with you, if you use your headphone as your reference point, you will be disappointed with your 2 channel unless you go for panels, horns or bigger boxes. I have same room size as you and I listen to very good headphone sets at work. ... 
Any bad experience with wilson audio sasha w/p?
I think this thread is taken over by Bo1972 now! Let us not bash Wilson but get back to Sasha.As there are as so many Sasha in the 2nd hand market completing with the older W/P models, we should compare their pros and cons for new potential buyers... 
Bass leaves after amp warms up?
I too experienced bass playing disappearing act with my Audio research VT120 mono amps. It happened that when the amp is cold, the bass is not as extended but concentrated more in the mid bass so it sounded more punchy, when it is warmed up and ge... 
Cardas Golden Cross no longer offered by Cardas ?
I think their 'Golden' series still have a big fan base and not too many people want to spend so much more for the 'Clear' series which are only marginally better! I actually like the slight coloured in the mid bass for its 'human' like character. 
Tube Amplifier for Thiel
I had those speakers too and loved them. Audio Research Classic 120 was good, Vt100iii no good! Vt200+ may be good! Under power tube amps will made poor bass. CJ Premier 350 very good and musical for SS. 
Any bad experience with wilson audio sasha w/p?
Like you , I had to made a decision to buy a used pair Sasha(18months) in less than a few hours, as in Sydney, the new price is so high that any good 2nd hand pair is too good to miss out! I paid A$16000 and new is more than A$35,000. Sasha are gr... 
Lamm ML2.1 popping noise?
Thanks for the responds, I have since set the bias down to below 0.31. So far no pops and fingers crossed. I think I should change the 2 small tubes too as they have been there for many years!
