Rega Elicit Break-In
Thanks for the information Ad03. So the Elicit needs an approximate 150 hours in sounding close to optimum. Looks like I may be up to a few surprises. Currently the unit has about 10 hours on it as the tonal character changes throughout this brief... 
Amp recommendation for RS6
Sorry for the double posting. 
Amp recommendation for RS6
There seems to be quite a few folks using NAD C355BEE to drive the RS6. One of my friend who owns the NAD C355BEE is now looking at the RS6. Not too sure if this would be of any help. Yes, I do agree that the RS6 is quite a detailed and bright spe...

New Rega Elicit Integrated - Opinions
Fillmoor,May I ask how many hours did the Elicit take to sound at its optimum? The Rega Elicit sounds pretty darn good right now. I have listened to the LFD Zero MkIII in my system and the Elicit exhibits the same character in PRAT, dynamics and d... 
Naim Supernait vs Nait XS vs Nait 5i: Differences
Thanks all for your comments. Tried to access the Naim forum but membership still pending approval. Guess my application may have been rejected. 
Integrated Amp - Looking to replace my amp & pre
Bongofury, May I know if you have listened to both LFD Zero MkIII and Exposure 2010S? If you have, I would appreciate if you can let me know whether the Exposure would sound close to the LFD at fraction of the cost. I have listened to the LFD and ... 
Compact 7ES-3
Just to toss a different opinion into the mix. I have listened to the McIntosh MC275 in my system, but not with the Harbeth. The MC275 is an excellent unit with good slam but not exactly the last word when it comes to transparency and dynamics. Th... 
Review: Harbeth Super HL-5 Speaker
Yes, I agree about Alan Shaw's views and assertions in not worrying too much about different amplifiers with Harbeth speakers as in his mind all would sound more or less similar. Of course, I have found the opposite and have a different viewpoint.... 
MBL 7006 Integrated. How Does This Amp Sound Like?
Hi Jackaroe,Thank you for your opinion on MBL gear. It has been a privilege to have advice from someone who has had extensive experience with equipment from this high-end German manufacturer. The MBL higher-end stuff is out of my budget, and since... 
MBL 7006 Integrated. How Does This Amp Sound Like?
Thank you for the detailed and comprehensive response. It was much appreciated. I have read the review in Stereotimes and the write-up seems to be pretty convincing. I guess the combination between the MBL and Krell Resolution 3 speakers must be a... 
Totem Forest Speakers.....
Your perception of the sound not filling up the room and sounds flat can be due to the room. As advised by some folks, some natural diffusion material such as RPG omniffusors can work wonders in your small listening space. I would look at improvin... 
Spendor A6 vs Harbeth Compact 7ES-3
Although I have not listened to Spendors, the Harbeths are very revealing speakers. If you want all the excitement, PRAT and dynamics, match the Harbeth with LFD and you would be in seventh heaven. 
Compact 7ES-3
Byegolly, congratulations on the purchase. If you like what you hear, stick with your Jolida amp. I am pretty sure you would. However, if you still feel something is lacking, let us know specifically what is missing and what are the traits you are... 
LFD Integrated Zero MK III
Art80342- You can be a skeptic. In my system the LFD does sound too good to be true. Hearing is believing.
