| Which Harbeth? Rgs92, I agree the fans may be a bit overzealous. The Harbeth management also plays a part as they go all out in protecting their own interest -comprehensible being a manufacturer's forum. About two years ago they switched to extreme moderation as... | |
| B&W PM1 These are looking good. Certainly oozes quality for an upmarket mini. At the level of the PM1s I seriously doubt they are assembled in China. I've been a long timer B&W user (11 years) and as far as I know only the low range models(600 series)... | |
| speakers prior to owning Harbeth 7es 3's Not too sure what you dislike about the Spendor S8e but I've responded to a thread about a year ago when an owner found them to be lacking in sparkle and excitement, sounding a bit bland. A Spendor S8e review-http://www.whathifi.com/Review/Spendor... | |
| Searching for new speakers: Wilson, B&W, ?? Sophia 3 or Sasha. Great speakers. | |
| Rega RS-3 The DNM Reson used to be a giant killer. Similarly I've heard good things about it especially on its neutrality. Good to hear the DNM has worked out in your system. | |
| proac tablette - signatures / rainmakers, et al The Tablette 2000 series are IMO the failure product in the Proac line. The Tablette Ref 8 Signature, Response 1SC and the current D1, D2 and Tablette Anniversary are capable of good things with superb imaging, transparency and detail although the... | |
| Harbeth C7 speaker grill Hesson11, not too sure whether my fingers are made of steel but my dealer helped me remove the grilles, with his bare hands. He had done that with most of his customers' pairs. A few of my friends removed the grilles by themselves without any sort... | |
| ProAc Studio 100 vs. Proac 1SC vs. Harbeth P3ESR My experience is only with the P3ESR and Proac Tablette 50 Signature. From what I gather the Studio 100 is a lower-end model in comparison to the 1SC which used to be Proac's reference monitor. Although decent, the Studio 100 is not in the league ... | |
| Harbeth C7 speaker grill Alternatively you can slowly and carefully loosen the grille that sits firmly in the groove with your fingers by gripping the edges and pulling bit by bit. Works fine for me but it will require some effort since the grille is firmly snugged all al... | |
| Jitter Of New Mac Mini Optical Line Out Improved? On the Naim forum. A response from a member taken from the thread:-The problem with the old Mac Mini was the poor jitter response on its optical out which measure on early models at 800 ps. Later models reduced this to around 200-250 ps. A top qua... | |
| Wilson Sophia III vs Sasha There is no definite answer whether the Sasha is $15k better than the Sophia 3. I echo Branislav's advice. A friend owns the Sasha. He told me prior to owning the Sasha he was at the dealer listening to the Sophia 3. He was about the pull the trig... | |
| Audio out mini-jack of Mac Mini to SPDIF DAC Thanks for the responses. Much appreciated. Will the sonic difference between a glass toslink and plastic toslink cable be significant if used on an old (but decent) DAC of a Krell KPS-30i CDP? | |
| EE Minimax Plus DAC vs. Rega DAC 12-06-11: Mrtennisi have never heard a solid state digital product sound better, to my ears, than a "tube" digital product, provided the appropriate tube is selected.Others may not share the same thought since everyone not only has different sets ... | |
| EE Minimax Plus DAC vs. Rega DAC 12-06-11: RobbobThis weekend the Rega will go head-to-head with the Minimax Plus with tube removed, but in my system. I have a feeling it will be a tough shoot-out. The cool thing is that all of these DACS sound amazing with a MacMini. My friend i... | |
| Habeth SHL5 tweeter and supertweeter models I'm not sure if the super-tweeter is sourced from SEAS as they don't have a 20mm titanium dome listed in their webpage. All their Excel series are in 25mm whilst the Prestige series are in aluminium. The titanium is only available in 25mm sizes. S... |
