| Separate DAC or continue using the Oppo UDP-205 Logan, The dac is solid, the output stage could use some improvement. I would suggest a Modwright "truth mod" if you wanted to take the player up a few levels in sound. Sam | |
| What Sonically is the Difference between a $1,500 CD Player and a $10K-$25K One? You really have to consider all major stages of the operation of the player, this is why you often get better performance out of separates rather than throwing all you hope into one integrated CD player. The transportThe digital conversionThe outp... | |
| Is integrated the future for 2 channel audiophiles? I can't get away from separates because no preamp section on integrated amps really do it for me quite as well, The main issue being I think that power supplies for each given section seems to improve things. But I always love to simplify and red... | |
| Creek Destiny or Rogue Cronus Magnum? Alright a month late. But I may be of some help. Certainly it matters more what your speakers are than these two amps.The Creek Destiny is a very very good little integrated for the money. Running Harbeth P3ESR with them it was a very very good ma... | |
| Integrated for Harbeth Small Room System To be honest. For low level listening I would go for the Luxman. Those tone controls are well implemented and dire in low level listening. Also you would be gaining more transparency (as well as some other things) over the Naim. That would be my c... | |

| Amp for Harbeth P3ESR The LFD is quoted on the Harbeth website as not having enough bass weight for the P3ESR. I personally think my amp the Creek Destiny is a good match. | |
| Amp for Harbeth P3ESR Gene, don't you need a disclaimer? I will try out the LFD and perhaps update my system in a year or two. | |
| harbeth p3esr or usher be 718 I am a Harbeth lover so my opinions reflect on that. I own the P3ESR because I have a small room 11x14. First off you should go Harbeth :pNow my real point. You should buy the Harbeth that fits your room size. If you need to have the speakers clos... | |
| New LFD Zero LE mkIV I too would love a phono stage! | |
| Amp for Harbeth P3ESR I just purchased a Creek Destiny. I hope it sounds phenomenal.Class A stereophile! (though I am a skeptic about stereophile, it is still worth taking note)Thanks everyone,Sam-fiIt has pre-out and power-in and hope to use a sub woofer for both High... | |
