| Audio Research SP-8 with CD "BTW, nice pre-amp! I always wished I had bought one to use as an alternative to mine..."Yes Newbee, the SP-8 is amazing. Actually, I have very good results combining the linestage with my PS Audio GCPH. It offers an exceptionnal soundtage, great ... | |
| Audio Research SP-8 with CD Newbee, regarding what you said :"...if you are not anal, then place the resistors between the amp and pre-amp at the amps inputs. It affects all of your sources but that will not be a problem with that pre-amp, and the best part is that it will l... | |

| Where did you go after Harbeth? To Dodgealum,Regarding what you said:"If you listen exclusively to chamber music, female vocals, acoustic music and the like I could see living with a pair of Harbeth's till the end of time. However, if your tastes are more diverse and run toward ... | |
| Where did you go after Harbeth? Hi Jeffreyds,That's another option to stay with my SHL5 and try some SET amplifier with it. As I'm often on the Harbeth User Group, I know that some people use their Harbeth with SET with good results.On my side, the lowest wattage I tried with my... | |
| Where did you go after Harbeth? Hi Dodgealum,It's surprising how I recognized myself in your talking when you say:" I would always return to my Harbeth's after a demo or show and feel that (within their range) my Harbeth's sounded much better than the speaker I had just audition... |
