| My wife passed yesterday Very sorry for your loss. My sympathies to you and your family. | |
| AMR with Dynaudio? I browsed the 6moons review and came away with the impression that the AMR integrated would be a nice match with your Dyn 3's. The build quality looks impeccable and I like the hybrid element which lends to the possibility of tweaking the sound th... | |
| Audiogon suggestion box I agree with Tonykay. If you want something bad enough, you need to be willing to pay the asking price, or wait for another one to come along. | |
| Who else is waiting for a pair of Harbeth 40.1's ? I just got my second pair of used 40.1's a few weeks ago. I had to wait about a month to get mine, but it felt like forever... but waiting 5 months is crazy! Di you call Fidelis AV (assuming you are in the US)? There's a nice used pair in Cherry l... | |
| ILLusion Liquid Air Umbilical for Modwright units Best tube combo I found for the MW 5400ES was 1966 Mullard (Hammond) 5AR4 rectifier with 1940's VT-231 RCA's (sourced from Brent Jessee Supply). Just sold my MW 5400ES for EAR Acute II CDP. Apples and oranges comparison... both very nice. The MW 5... | |
| Your most disappointing purchase or audition? Musical Fidelity NuVista M3 integrated... gaudy appearance and low fi sound quality. Simaudio W-6 monoblocks. | |
| Leben CS600 vs McIntosh MC275 I used the MC275 with Harbeth M-40.1's a few years back and it was a nice combo. I have no experience with the Leben, but I'm sure you'd be fine with either amp. | |
| Crisp sounding tubes for Modwright 5400ES I'm new to the Modwright 5400ES owners club. IME, swapping out the stock Sovtek 5AR4 with a 1965 vintage Mullard 4 notch 5AR4 (rebranded Hammond from Brent Jesse Recording & Supply) made a huge difference. Adjectives that describe the improvem... | |
| Your favorite musical non fatiguing speakers? Harbeth SHL5's or 30.1's | |
| Ayon CD2S vs ModWright XA-5400ES Ultimate Truth Scot - Let me know if you want to sell your ModWright XA-5400ES w/Ultimate Truth mods. | |
| Is the Musical Fidelity Nu-vista M3 outdated I had one for a very brief spell. I found the sound quality below average and the appearance was gaudy. I sold it quickly. | |
| Plinius sa102. or jeff rowland model 6 The Plinius SA-102 is the best solid state amp I have owned... however, I still prefer a good tube amp from VAC or McIntosh. | |
| Which Harbeths for 14x35x12 living/kitchen space? I use a REL Storm MK III with my SHL5's. Is it seamless... no. Is it as good as my time with the M-40.1's... no. But still a nice sounding set up. The sub adds some fullness and body to the sound and expands the soundstage. | |
| Which Harbeths for 14x35x12 living/kitchen space? That's a large room... 40.1's would be my recommendation. I've owned them before. Your amp is plenty powerful enough. Anything less would benefit from a subwoofer. | |
| Your top 3 worst purchases ever Musical Fidelity NuVista integrated... all bling, but lacked any hint of musicality.Simaudio W-6 monoblocks. Below average build quality and sound quality was a 3 on a scale of 1 to 10. Even had them paired with Dynaudio C4 speakers... was suppose... |
