| "Bridge Over Trouble Water" sounds artificial I gave it a listen on headphones last night. Very meh overall though the piano was still solid. Much better on the big system which gives the “wall of sound” production room to breath. | |
| An Odd Question Well listen with them in the room and then out and then you will know if a difference or not. | |
| What tube amp for Harbeth 40.1 Yes each speaker has a different sound but there are things that can be tweaked/tuned to make key aspects of some more alike, like tonal balance and imaging, as long as the differences are not huge to start with. | |
| "Bridge Over Trouble Water" sounds artificial Agree with gosta. | |
| What tube amp for Harbeth 40.1 I did some fine tuning at home with my gear after that visit. Think I have things pretty close for a lot less but hard to say without an a/b comparison. I don’t think a setup need be nearly as elaborate to get much of the reward. But it always hel... | |
| What tube amp for Harbeth 40.1 No unfortunately. But they were pretty big and looked pretty expensive. It was the alpha setup in the store by a fair margin. Deja Vu does a lot of unique things with tube amps. May not even be a current model or perhaps even customized. You would... | |

| "Bridge Over Trouble Water" sounds artificial Wow now in hindsight they should definitely revoke those Grammies for BOTW. Clearly they had no idea what they were doing. There are a bunch of people here alone that seemingly could have done it better. They should have consulted with more audiop... | |
| Options for ridding records of static electricity A good old fashioned carbon fiber brush does the job for me. | |
| Decoupling Speakers Interesting. Your floor structure sounds very similar to mine. Very solid and good for not contributing sound itself which I find to be very desirable for clean , articulate detailed sound where floor interactions in the bass region in particular ... | |
| Listening as a civilian Music streaming is a great thing to help hold interest. If possible try playing some things you like then let random play kick in to find similar things you might like and not even be aware of for you. | |
| My pet peeve: "revealing" speakers To me, revealing is not a problem. It is a good thing that just has to be done right.There is that old saying though.....too much of anything..... | |
| High Performance Audio - The End? Interesting Steve worked at SBS. Did not know that. He reviewed Ohm Walsh speakers recently and was very impressed. The time I went to Sound By Singer and mentioned I owned Ohm Walsh speakers the guy there totally dissed them. I do not think it w... |
