J.M. Reynaud Trente vs. Harbeth Compact 7es3
I appreciate the responses. I have heard over the last few months from people that really, really love their speakers. Some of them have Reynaud's and some have Harbeth's and some have Spendors. All different sounding speakers, but their owners se... 
Difference between micro line and gyger s stylus
Hi Jonathan,Thank you for taking the time to give such an in-depth response and helping me as well as others understand this better. Please forgive my ignorance, but when you mentioned records made of "molded styene", how do you know when one is m... 
Difference between micro line and gyger s stylus
Hi Larryi,Thank you for your response. I currently use a wood bodied Benz MO.9 which I think has an elliptical stylus. I think it sounds great on my analog rig. However, I'm thinking of getting a Ruby3H and I see the older ones have the micro line...

Harbeth - Audio Research?
Out of curiosity, how close to the rear wall can the HL5 or 7ES3 go? I'd like to start another system in a very small room - 12x13.5ft and because of how it is all laid out the back of the speakers will need to be about 6-8inches from the rear wal... 
Power amp Suggestions for Dunlavy SC-IV
I have owned the Dunlavy SCIV's for many years now and they are very efficient with a very flat and stable impedance curve which tubes love. I primarily use a Bel Canto SET40 Single Ended 845 Triode amp which gives 35 watts RMS and 70 watts peak. ... 
artemis lab, phono preamp?
I have the Artemis Labs Ph-1 phono stage and absolutely love it. It gives you about 52db of gain without the use of step up transformers which I think is great. I use a Benz wood bodied cartridge that has .9mv output and it is a great match. This ... 
Random pop sounds in my system are scaring me
You may try cleaning tube pins as well as the tube sockets. The tube internals may be perfectly fine. 
Internet radio stations that sound really good
Cruz123,I'm interested in hearing that great jazz station out of Paris, France. I got onto the TSF Jazz website translated into English, but was not able to figure out how to make it play music. I admit I'm pretty new to computers, but I was able ... 
Graham, Naim Aro, or Linn arms?
I've used a Naim Aro on my LP-12 for many years now and absolutely love it. I would say that it simply plays music. It does not sound hi-fi in your face, but very even balanced through out the entire range. It does not over emphasize anything. It ... 
Harbeth compact 7es3 vs. ProAc Response 2
I appreciate everyone's comments thus far. Does anyone know if the Harbeth Compact 7es3 is shielded? I'll be using these in a small room which will require them to be set right along each side of a tube tv. I know that the ProAc Response Two when ... 
Opera Prima ?
Bongofury..Thank you so much for responding. I havn't been able to find much info on the Opera, so I appreciate your input. Base on what I've read, I am also considering the Harbeth Compact 7 an SHL5. Do you happen to know how the Harbeth's sound ... 
Cartridge for Naim ARO
I've had great results with a wood bodied Benz MO.9 on my ARO which is on an LP12 as well. Coupled with the Artemis Labs PH-1, it provides excellent harmonics, with natural detail and dynamics that sounds like real live music, not hi-fi. I can't i... 
Raven v Walker. Colored v Accurate?
Piedpiper, you are right on the money. Great explanation! 
DRT XV1s Vs Orpheus Vs Shelter Harmony Vs 47 Labs
Tim, Thank you so much for sharing your reviews of the various phonostages. I currently own the Artemis Labs Ph-1 and was very curious as to how your felt it worked with the Orpheus. The comparisons of the other stages were of benefit as well.
