Harbeth 30.1, odd USA pricing?
I wish I can answer these questions. I'm just passing alongwhat I heard from the U.S. distributor during the past few showswe teamed up on. All the best,Vinnie 
Harbeth 30.1, odd USA pricing?
All , Some things to point out from a fellow manufacturer aware of the basics surrounding this situation (we teamed up with Fidelis AV at the past two NY Audio Shows and used 30.1s, so price did come up in conversations at the shows):1. Canadian p... 
Is the Harbeth M30.1 an upgrade from the C7ES?
I agree with Tobes 100% based on my listening of both speakers. 
Speakers to hang on to for LIFE
Harbeth 30.1s! 
Small integrateds: red wine, bel canto or wyred?
Zmanastronomy,No need to apologize - and we all know that it's all aboutsynergy of the components (including the listening room).Thanks for your post,Vinnie 
Small integrateds: red wine, bel canto or wyred?
All,Just to clear the air:The battery pains that raytheprinter mentions was in the past when we were using SLA battery technology. Since then (as of the Fall, 2010), we migrated to our own designed LiFePO4 battery packs that offer over 2000 charge... 
Weiss dac 2/minerva or RWA isabellina dac?
Hi Jarkko,Here are some links to Isabellina customer feedback on the audiocircle forum - which might be helpful in describing some of its sonic attributes:http://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic=58678.0http://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic... 
battery powered with 'vivid' sound
Hi Jimjoyce25,Again, I cannot speak for all manufacturers who implement battery power, but with Red Wine Audio products, even when the charger is plugged in, it is completely disconnected from the batteries internally (via our SMART board), so you... 
battery powered with 'vivid' sound
Hi Rotty,I cannot speak for all manufacturers who use batteries, but ALL of our Red Wine Audio components run only on the internal SLA batteries, so the chargers can be unplugged and they will run just fine. Of course at some point, you'll need to... 
Dodd preamp battery plays 40 minutes
Hi Pubul57,Exactly - and this is what we designed it for :-)- Vinnie 
Dodd preamp battery plays 40 minutes
Hi Cruz123,This would only be true if the battery was a "wet cell" or "flooded lead acid" type (i.e., most automotive batteries). If you pick up the battery and shake it and can hear liquid sloshing around inside, they you have such a battery.Howe... 
Dodd preamp battery plays 40 minutes
Hi Audiomole,>>"Gary says the batteries lose about 2% of their charge a day without use, and ideally should be played every day."This is not correct with SLA batteries. Stored at room temperature, the self-discharge rate of SLA batteries is ... 
If you were a tube preamplifier manufacturer
Hi Ben, For our Isabella tube preamp, which uses two 6922 tubes (one dual-triode per channel), I decided on the JJ E88CC (6922). http://www.jj-electronic.sk/ Why? I compared it to the equivalent tubes from Sovtek, Electro Harmonix, and some Chines... 
Dodd preamp battery plays 40 minutes
Hi Pabul57,The "memory effect" is not true for the sealed-lead acid batteries (we use SLA batteries, and so does Dodd). In general, SLA batteries want to always be in the fully-charged state, so it is best to turn OFF and charge as soon as you are... 
Is iPod Digital Output Possible?
Steve is correct... the Escient is most likely using an A/D converter and converting the analog line-out into optical and/or coax digital output. I've seen a few other docks like this, even via Bluetooth (e.g. Griffen Bluetrip). The MSB is the onl...
