| tube advice 5687s Thanks Racamuti--I will look into it. | |
| Coldplay on Quad 988 I think a forgiving speaker is more appropriate, such as Aerial 10Ts. | |
| Utopia Skala / Alto speakers anyone hear them both Maybe it was just me, but when I heard the last generation Nova Utopias BEs at the NYC show, the bass seem to pummel me,a real pounding sound. Whenever I read about JMLabs, I never seem to read many comments about the bass, withmost discussion cen... | |
| Amp / speaker cable for 10T Cardas Golden Ref speaker cable (single wired) was great with my 10Ts. Cardas Cross was good but the bass was not nearly as well defined as the G.Ref.For entry level, Audioquest cheap stuff is good (I used Indigo at first, I think--the dark blue j... | |
| Are Harbeth S HL5's As Good As Reviewers Claim? Jimcrane--thanks for the kind words.Now that I have lived with the SHL5s for a while, theydefinitely have a distinctively relaxing personality, one that makesme feel very drawn to the Harbeth sound. You can almost hear them trying not to be offens... | |

| Would you buy used headphones? It's the only way you can buy Sony R10s. | |
| one shot: KLH 17 or Large Advents? Well, if you trust a memory from 1971 when I was a kid,I spent long hours in front of a KLH 20 compact stereo which had the KLH 17s, and was always mesmerized by thevery pleasant, listenable sound, especially on vocals. I listened to 3-dog-night a... | |
| Nice power cable for EMM DCC2-SE: Stealth Dream No problem. | |
| What to fill Skylan stands with for Harbeth SHL5s Thanks again everybody. | |
| Little bit "forward" sound - what cables to avoid? When I heard the Nordosts, I also tried Kubala Sosna Emotions (I bought these) and Purist A.D. Dominus Rev B's in a direct comparison. Both of these were not very forward, with the PADs slightly recessed, the KS's about neutral in placment. The PA... | |
| Best CDP under $500?..... Used market CAL Icon 2. There is one listed here. I had one back in 1995-98. I replaced it with a Meridian 508.24 and couldn't say which was better. Not to much glare or tizz (not the most resolving either, but very pleasant). | |
| Can't Stop Grinning... Were those old ones ADC 303AX speakers by any chance?Those were real classics, not too well known. A lot better and more coherent IMHO than the Advents that were much more famous. | |
| What to fill Skylan stands with for Harbeth SHL5s Yep, talked to Noel and waiting for a pair.Thanks! | |
| Speaker cables - long - for Von Schweikert I used to have 9-meter (27+ foot) Cardas Golden Ref speaker cables on myVSR VR7 HSEs. They were great--smooth and balanced with a Pass X350 amp. I sold the VSRs because the bass was too strong for my room, but that was not because of the cables. T... |
