Need advice: replace woofer of Harbeth
You can buy direct from Harbeth. Very easy to replace. not soldering needed. 
Your experience with Thiel 3.6
I had this one for a few years too! Still one of the best at that price range but needed very good amplification. With its 2nd hand price so low, you need an amp at least 3 times the valve to justify its quality. 
Review: Herron VTSP-3A R02 Linestage
I am a happy owner of his 3A. I wonder what's the different this R02 version is to the orginal? 
Mains Out
My Herron pre-amp also has that function. On a few older records, inverted phase makes imaging goes one side, reversing it corrects them. On most new recordings,imaging and tones are more focused and alive with the correct phasing. Very useful, I ... 
What kind of power cord comes with expensive gear
With my experience of 2 products: Conrad Johnson Premier 350 and Lamm ML2.1 both comes with standard looking cords but voiced to match their products. They confirmed that those cords were custom ordered with purpose. 
Cables for low power amps and Horns?
Thanks for the replies. This is what I am expecting that thin and simply designed cables are better suited to SETS then big thick cables with lots of damping. I had some JPS superconductors III and I believe they are holding off some air and openn... 
Do expensive cables/wires REALLY make a difference
I think it is to do with how much return you want to get for your dollars. All cable makers tune their cables to their own signature. For example Transparent; Cardas are more musical and Crystal Cables; Nordost are more excited etc... so finding o... 
Tube Integrated Pairing For Harbeth Monitor 30.1
Interesting to see Audio Space was mentioned. I use Audio Space Nova 34 with Harbeth HL5S. Miles better than Audio Research VT100iii. I think they ae the same as AS8i. 
Lamm ML2.1 voltage selection
Has anyone has clues? 
The most dynamic speaker you've heard...
In a small room, Cessaro Horn, Chopin. Have only 11" drivers but sounded fuller and more dynamic than the Sasha! 
Calling Lamm ML2.1 owners
In terms of those 6c33c. I have brought a set from Thetubestore and worked fine. I read that they need to be carefully matched but lucky not so in my case. It seems as long as it is within range for correct bias to be set, it is fine. I know the r... 
Calling Lamm ML2.1 owners
Thanks Syntax but my questions is how long before I replace new ones as they are on the amp for 10 years now. I have replaced the 6n6p many times already! 
Opposite of Thiel
I had Thiel 2.2, 2.4, 3.6 for many years. I also had Harbeths HL5S which has completely opposite character. Not coloured but very musical with less resolution. Proac is in between. 
Does anyone still miss the old Audiogon format?
Yes, the buying and selling column is so much better and user friendly than the new one! 
Where have all the Auctions gone?
Good respond. I hope the web master is reading. There were some really nice auctions in the old times and was quite a feature of Audiogon. Now with mostly listed items, Audiogon is like other selling sites and lost the appeal to me.
