| Best Stand for Harbeth 7ES-3 Compact Given Alan's thoughts on resonance as part of his design philosophy, I would think that whatever stands he uses or recommends are an important part of his design philosophy - if he works with Skylan, it is likely that the two are made for each oth... | |
| Thoughts from Joule preamp owners? I think based on what you are looking for, the Joule will not disappoint. Good luck! Hope you like it. | |
| "Neutral/Clear Amp vs. Dark Amp" The four brands you mention are all very fine and among them you will hear some of the best available, do you really want to muddy the waters with another 12 brands that will be mentioned? You are already on the right track with the four you have ... | |
| Thoughts from Joule preamp owners? The difference between II and I is much greater than the difference between III & SE, I think II & SE are much more musical than I, there was some change in the tubes used and possibly the circuit in the move from I to II/SE, Is SE an impr... | |
| VAC Preamp: Is my Phono stage failing? The plot thickens:) | |
| New LFD Zero LE mkIV I wonder if the if the NCSE has more current and lower output impedance (damping) than the MKIII - might be that the MKIII works better with easy loads and operates a bit more like a tube amp might, the bass improvement would be more noticeable to... | |
| Thoughts from Joule preamp owners? Which 150 do you mean? The 150 MKI or the 150 SE (sorry Signature Edition, not Special Edition)? | |
| Thoughts from Joule preamp owners? My experience and comments match exactly those of the previous two posts, when I used the LA-150 Special Edition - even better bass performance - one of the very worthy contenders for consideration in any SOTA system. No one can tell you if you wi... | |
| VAC Preamp: Is my Phono stage failing? Have you asked Kevin what he thinks the problem might be? | |
| Does your system take you there or...? The recording is of "there" not "here" - if it sounds like they are "here" something is wrong, probably lack of resolution needed to convey ambient cues of place (where the musicians are). | |
| Tube amp for "difficult" speakers,,, 100% agree on the CAT JL2, which I owned for several years before switching to Atma-sphere M-60s which drive my "easy" speakers to perfection. | |
| Merlin VSM MXr vs Thiel 2.4 vs Dynaudio C1 A google search will get a few reviews on the British LFD, Telling reviewed the MKIII version I think, he claimed it was the best integrated he has heard, but that is one person's view, but you will also find many fans in the Harbeth Forum that li... | |
| Merlin VSM MXr vs Thiel 2.4 vs Dynaudio C1 Lovely speakers. How much in your budget for an pre/power amp? Harbeth owners seem to like the LFD integrated. | |
| The most beautiful Integrated Tube amp? Certainly agree about the Jadis appearance, with a somewhat similar look, the Ars Sonum integrated is quite beautiful too. | |
| Best speakers in the 3000 -5000 range I have never heard the Focals. When you say faithful reproduction, I assume you are talking about timbre (as oppose to sound staging and imaging) - which I think B&W does pretty darn well. Some of the most timbrally accurate speakers I have he... |
