| Fyne F1-10/12 vs Harbeth 40.3 XD and Graham LS5/5 Hi Lew, I have never heard any Fyne speakers, so I cannot help you there. However, I do own Graham LS5/5 speakers which I compared carefully to the Harbeth 40.3xd. I'd be very interested in your thoughts about the two since you own them both. H... | |
| Meitner i upgrades Safe travels for your dac. Please let me know what you think. Don’t be put off by my lack of additional info. I think the new unit is noticeably better and a bargain. I’ve never been one to think the sound of components changes significantly over ... | |
| Meitner i upgrades No new impressions. Still very pleased with the upgrade | |
| Meitner i upgrades I use it as a streamer/pre/dac into a pair of AGD Duets. By the way, some folks at What’s Best report that the streamer is very good and was also upgraded as part of the i package. | |
| Meitner i upgrades I got my upgraded MA3i last Friday and let it burn in for 96 hours, which is what the dealer recommended. By the way, Rick Brown of Hi-Fi One handled the upgrade and he was great. He took care of everything, kept me up to date, and coordinated w... | |
| Seeking New Amplification for My Graham LS5/5 Speakers Best of luck with your new 800.2 amp. I hope it's a good combo. I am driving my Graham ls 5/5 with AGD Duet mono blocks. 150 W into 8 ohms & 300 W into 4 ohms. I also drive them with a DIY First Watt F4 sometimes which is 25W into 8 ohms &... | |
| Meitner i upgrades I’m no 1 in the queue for the ma3i upgrade. I’ll take the plunge. If folks are interested I’ll report my findings but it won’t be a side by side comparison. Folks on WBT have who have upgraded their EMM DA2 dacs to i status are impressed. They hav... | |
| Current or Previous Harbeth Owners… If you like the Harbeth 40.3, check out the Graham LS5/5. Same BBC heritage and similar but not identical sound. You might like one more than the other. | |

| Harbeth 40.3 and 40.2 Anniversary Congratulations on your purchase. Enjoy. | |
| Harbeth 40.3 and 40.2 Anniversary In my demo I didn't notice tonal differences between the Grahams and the Harbeths. It was not a case of increased apparent detail by goosing the presence region or trouble. If anything, the Grahams increased resolution made them more relaxing be... | |
| Harbeth 40.3 and 40.2 Anniversary I've been listening to a pair of Graham LS 5/5s for almost a year. Before making the purchase, I compared them with the 40.3xd directly at a dealer who has both brands. The dealer put down painters tape in the room and swapped the speakers in an... | |
| Spatial Audio Raven Preamp Interesting thread. I recently demoed a budget preamp in my system and was surprised by how much more dynamic and alive it sounded compared to using the volume control from my dac. If there was any loss in resolution, I couldn’t hear it, and the i... | |
| Racks, equipment and footers I just set up a pre-owned core audio three tier rac. I’m quite impressed. It’s beautiful, obviously well-built, and sounds great. Clear improvement over my previous end table. A low bar, perhaps, but significantly better nonetheless. Playing a few... | |
| Differences between Harbeth, Spendor, Graham, etc. ? Robert Greene and Paul Seydor have reviewed many of the various BBC incarnations over the years and they include some comparisons between the revisions in the same lineup and similar models across brands. I own a pair of Grahams and found them to ... |
