| Can a Amp be "timeless" and compete with todays amps? The best sounding amp I owned was a VAC Renaissance 70/70 Signature. I only sold it because I had to send it to VAC twice for repairs and each time, it would take 6-8 weeks for the repair and the price to repair fairly simple issues was disproport... | |
| Fuse Direction for Pass Labs Amp and Preamp @atmasphere +1 Thank you for speaking truth to these myths that continue to be perpetuated by companies like Synergistic Research. I don't know how people that own companies like that sleep at night. Ted Denney and the My Pillow Guy are one in ... | |
| Tannoy Everyone?! with Leben CS600 or Pass XA25/30.5? I hope you don't sell that beautiful Leben only to find your DAC was the limiting factor. If possible, explore/experiment with other DAC's before switching amps. | |
| Suggestions for a streamer only (I have a great DAC) I wanted to buy an Innuos Zenith, but given it only works with USB DAC's, I had to look elsewhere. If they ever add SPDIF or AES/EBU compatibility, I will seriously reconsider. | |

| which amp for bedroom system with harbeth 7es-3 XD I trust your experience and advice. I will have to keep that in mind if I ever feel the need to get a backup amp or replace my RM9 if it became irreparable. Luxman 590axii is on my bucket list. | |
| which amp for bedroom system with harbeth 7es-3 XD @jjss49 Do you prefer Hegel 590 to a comparably priced tube amp with Harbeth 40 series (40.2 or 40.3)? | |
| Schiit Freya + Class A in Stereophile @yyzsantabarbara which two preamps did you like better? | |
| Who's using Harbeth with tubes, what speaker model and how many watts per channel? I've owned SHL5's, 40.1's (twice) and now 40.2 Anni's... and I've never been satisfied driving them with solid state and always come back to tube amps. My current amp (vintage Music Reference RM9 MK2 with RFT EL34's) has stayed with me the longes... | |
| Zesto Audio Customer Service. Thanks for sharing. I always make mental notes on which companies stand out (good AND bad) and use that as part of my decision making rationale when making future purchases. | |
| Need help to select a speaker I've had four pairs of Dynaudio over the years, from the entry level Audience line to the Confidence 2's and 4's... definitely not a speaker that excels at low volume and not recommended for the OP. I agree with @rocray on recommendation of monit... | |
| Suggestions for a streamer only (I have a great DAC) Consider a used Aurender N10. I found mine used from a dealer for $4,500. It's been a huge jump up in sound quality vs. the entry level streamers I used previously. One word of caution... I recommend you have a hardwired ethernet connection to... | |
| Luxman integrated for Harbeth Compact 7's @mbabst I had a Luxman DA-06 DAC several years ago... very nice sounding, double free DAC. Recommended. | |
| Where is Geoff Kait???😢 +1 @sbank 😂 | |
| Aurender conductor: unable to delete favorites? I was just experiencing the same thing! |
