| Thoughts about Jadis and Harbeth Hi. This is a bit off topic, but I would like some feedback around anyone with Harbeth Class D amp experience? I have the NAD M2 $6K single box and the Harbeth importer is a couple hours from me in New Hampshire. For a few years now, I've been ... | |
| Furutech fuse Hey folks. A limited budget tweaker for nearly 40 years here, since first doubling up on lamp cord wire for speaker cables. I hooked up with Rick Taylor who had a rough and tumble hi fi store in the late 90's. For a time, Rick was the Audio Mat... | |
| Speaker of the Century Award Goes To .... lol, mrdecible ...regarding "affording a dedicated listening room." Here, the solution was simple...giving my wife the rest of the entire house, the basement and the garage. This permitted me to "have" a dedicated "sound studio." Now, it has t... | |
| Ugrade-itis - is there a cure? ...40+ years of "the chase." I've been working my way --backwards-- these days, as the room tuning (#1) the room integration with the speakers (#2) the source (#3) and the hardware (#4) reach my emotions deeply. ALL the work you have put in to t... | |
| In listening to your system(s)...what is most crucial to your enjoyment? Hey Folks. Thought I'd catch us up a bit. This was my first attempt posting a topic, and missed a bit of clarity in the goal. Thanks to those sharing so far!

| Do you listen to equipment or music. Again..tenured music lover. As a hobby, it's natural to want to move on and "get closer" over time. For me, the home run is the music, and no nostalgia to what gets me there. I don't marry the gear. I'm fully awakened when a tweak or gear impr... | |
| I’m gob smacked. What were you’re aha moments? 40+ years of getting closer. New house in 2000...lights dimmed when major appliances kicked in...Central Maine Power Company comes, tests, following Sunday at 10am a crew installs a new transformer (WITH NEW GROUND) outside house. Most recent, F... | |
| Highest BUILD quality tube amps? I run Class D amp with expert DSP adding a "hint" of tube sound. I just don't have the stomach and budget for GREAT tube gear. Cheers, Pin | |

| Best $40 I've spent...maybe ever ...every 6 months, rain or shine...clean em up! Old fart tip of the day...if possible, turn off and unplug things, go into basement and switch off the main power at the panel, turn off & on each circuit a couple of times, then power up the ma... | |
| Autoformers, The Benefits in matching amp to speaker ...this might not prove a common story, but here goes. I have the NAD M2 one box dac/pre/power into a pair of sealed Salk Veracity monitors. The NAD has the ability to deliver 2, 4, 5, 6, 7 & 8 Ohms. The Salks are rated at 8 but, after read... | |

| Looking for speaker recommendations OOPs, sorry for duplication | |
| Looking for speaker recommendations Salks. Jim Salk is a true gentleman, will make lovely and to order, within your budget new...those RAAL tweeters with his designs simply make music at reasonable cost. Within your budget, new. Grats on your retirement and happy tunes. Best, Norm | |
| Best vintage DD turntables from the 70's and 80's? Enjoyed Denon DP2500 which, last I knew, is still spinning 40 years later...at incorrect speed...has a strobe on-board with no adjustment. A better strobe from "The Tweak Shop" back in the day, revealed it ran fast. A "post Allen Perkins (Spiral... |
