| LFD Integrated Zero MK III Now I understand why Sam Tellig and current LFD owners have such high admiration for the LFD Zero MkIII. This unit is indeed very special, and I wouldn't have said this after listening to the unit in my system myself. Upon first listening from col... | |
| LFD zero vs plinius 9200 vs MF A5 for spendor 8se I am answering my own question above. I have listened to the LFD Zero MkIII in my system yesterday. There was no comparison. In my system and to my ears the LFD is a superior unit to both Plinius/ARC separates and NVA integrated. The speakers used... | |
| Any U2 Fans Here? Hodu, I've got on my boots and listened to the album for a 2nd time, but with some changes. I swapped my amp to the more forgiving Plinius and placed some absorption panels on the side walls. The rough edges were slightly reduced and "Magnificent"... | |

| Will YBA Integre DT Match Harbeth Speakers Well? Sorry, I have not listened to Nuforce before. | |
| Will YBA Integre DT Match Harbeth Speakers Well? Drubin, I agree that there would be very little deviation in the Harbeth house sound with different amps. However, there would still be perceptible and appreciable differences. The latest NVA integrated amp I have now has proven this with a more t... | |
| Will YBA Integre DT Match Harbeth Speakers Well? Ptekkis, thank you for your views on the Passion 300 integre amps. I have heard elsewhere that the Integre DT has lightweight bass and not very powerful, and can imagine the YBA 600 to be in an entirely different league altogether. I do not doubt ... | |
| Where can one purchase lead shot for speakers? I do agree with Don_s as his arguments are valid and make sense although not everybody will have the same notion and continue to use lead in domestic applications. Apart from laws and regulations, think about the safety of your family and loved on... | |
| ARC LS26 performance for $2500-3000? Raquel and Eee3, May I ask if the ARC LS-5MkIII would be significantly better than the LS-16? Is it true that this pre is close to the LS-26's performance? Since some preferred this over the Ref3 I guess the LS-5MkIII must be something special. Th... | |
| Moving Up the ARC Chain: Some Observations Dodgealum, Have you listened to the LS-16 before? I was wondering how this piece would compare with the SP-16 or the LS-26. Nice write-up by the way. | |
| Totem Model 1 Signatures best speaker cables XTi16, did you manage to audition the SPM Reference speaker cable side by side with the Frey? If you have, how did they compare? I can attest to Xti16's comments in that one would get greater air and refinement with less brightness in the high fre... | |
| sand versus shot in speaker stands A bit off topic- Nordost packaging usually states "LEAD FREE - Save our environment" on a green sticker featuring a pine tree. Didn't expect the brand to be an environmental activist. | |

| What Integrated Amps have the sonics of Separates? Integrated amps can match or surpass the sound quality of separates depending on system matching and listening preference. If done right, you can do a lot better with less money. The only advantage of separates that I can think of is the ability t... | |
| Are Harbeths really "all that?" Some commented they were way too polite. It depends on the amps that were hooked to them. The Harbeths are good for most material except hard rock or metal. Yes, they may not have the absolute transparency, dynamics or subterranean deep bass for s... |
