| Naim or Octave with Dynaudio Confidence C1 Handsomeck, I have not tried the 282 in my system(202/200) although I've listened to the 282/250 in another system. If you browse through the Naim forum, the general consensus is music becomes more real and believable when going up the Naim ladder... | |
| Naim or Octave with Dynaudio Confidence C1 Although the 202/200 are musical amps, they are not considered to be the most successful in the Naim line. If you find the C1's to sound good on them, chances are likely the C1's will sound better with the higher range models. The 282 is considere... | |
| Can the Harbeth 40.1's boggie ????? It's a hit and miss thing when it comes to choosing the right speakers based on reviews and advice on the forums. Sorry to hear that the 40.1's did not work out for you. One point to note is the Classe are smooth amps. I don't know about the Delta... | |
| Amp Suggestions for Harbeth C7es3 8'x10' is a pretty small space. You may want to try some room treatments, diffusors on first reflection points of side walls. You can look at the rear wall when you are done with that. | |
| B&W 705 or Sonus Faber Concerto / Concertino Choosing a speaker is a personal thing. That I will leave it to you. However, I would have to chime in on the amplifier selection. Do yourself a favor by auditioning a Naim Nait 5i or better still Nait XS. These amps sound a lot more musical and i... | |

| Is the new Apple TV better than Squeezebox? Horseface, did you manage to try the Mac Mini? If you have, is it better than the Transporter/Duet in terms of sound quality? I am in the midst of deciding between a Squeezebox Touch and Mac Mini to get into computer audio playing iTunes after doi... | |

Very sensible advice and I pretty much agree with your views in that the best path to take is dependent on one's priorities apart from factors such as syst... | |
| Recommend an integrated amp for my Harbeth 40.1's Once a tube man always will be. Congratulations on getting back on track with the MA2275. | |
| Recommend an integrated amp for my Harbeth 40.1's At least you've tried the Musical Fidelity and figured out yourself it doesn't suit you. If you don't try you would never know. It is good to hear you have set your priorities right now knowing what you want to achieve in your system. I hope the M... | |
| Paradigm Studio 60 V5 Fingernails on Chalkboard The title of this thread is eye-catching.Does your Denon AVR amp have tone controls? If it does, you can tilt the treble down and increase the bass to compensate for excessive brightness. I know, not an ideal way to fix things but if it sounds goo... | |
| Recommend an integrated amp for my Harbeth 40.1's Do update this thread once the MF Nuvista M3 is hooked up to the system. I would be interested to hear your initial impressions on the unit. The amp is certainly built like a tank and shares an almost similar resemblance to the new Pass Labs X-ser... | |
| Best phono stage amp for rega P5? I've tried the Rega Fono on the P5. There are others that sound significantly better, more dynamic, open and live-sounding. The Fono is probably good on the P1 or P2. The P5 deserves a better phono stage as it allows the quality of a superior phon... | |

I agree on the advantages of proper rigid platforms(or proper rack system) over cones and spikes. However, some platforms and/or racks are design... |
