| Help with Classical Music Record Labels. Naxos is v good and often overlooked. I’ll buy almost anything on the label and haven’t been disappointed. Fwiw I think DG is overrated. Great musicians but sound to me is disappointing. | |
| Hegel h590 or Accuphase e460 with Harbeth 40.3 I’d probably go for accuphase between the two. The best match Ive heard with harbeth is Vinnie Rossi. | |
| BlueSound Stinks(!), anyone? My experience is that bluesound only works reliably if you have very good wifi or if it’s hardwired to the internet. The wifi reception is terrible. I would try that just to see if that fixes it. Of course many of us don’t have the option of using... | |
| looking for ideas on must have classical music Another approach is by label. Almost anything on Naxos is excellent. | |
| Speaker advice for listening to Blues music zu or tektons will sound a lot like hearing it direct from amps and pa speakers like when you play. Jbls too. It will have a very forward, raw sound with blues. I like a bit of honey and would vote for the Harbeth or Tannoys. Btw if you are a guit... | |
| Any experience with Tannoy loudspeakers? Tannoy has a loyal following and I consider myself a big fan. Like Dan I have vintage hpd drivers but mine are in a newly made cheviot cabinet made of birch. The sound is fantastic in several different large rooms I have had them in. They sound re... | |
| Xfinity cable box directly to amp produces notably superior SQ than cable box > DAC > amp Sell the two dacs sit back and enjoy the sound. Strange I agree but if it works then go with it. | |
| Tannoy gold 12" cabinets I have 12 inch hpds in new very heavy birch cheviot cabinets. They are not very large. The sound is amazing. I may get a second set of speakers for another system in the future but I’ll never part with these. The vintage tannoy sound is special. ... | |
| Sloppy, muted bass response on Hegel h190 If you have done this with two amps already it’s very likely that it’s the speakers. To give it a third test perhaps purchase a high watt mid fi amp from a big box store try it and return it? That should assure you it’s the speakers not the amp if... | |
| Why price of Tannoy speakers from online retailers in UK is cheaper than in US Sea freight isn’t actually that expensive. I shipped an suv between the USA and the Mediterranean for $1100. Import tax for goods entering the USA from the UK I am unsure about. But a 6k difference between the UK price and the USA price is a lot. | |
| Harbeth with Croft phono integrated vs Yamaha AS1100/AS2100 Hard to beat the Harbeth-Croft combo. But the Yamaha has those meters which are hard to resist... joking aside as much as I love the Yamaha sound (and the casework and meters) I dont think it’s an upgrade over the Croft for those speakers. I woul... | |
| Question About DACs ++freedivers point. The difference an expensive dac makes is a bit overhyped for many people’s systems. I would review your overall system and be sure this is where you want to put your money. A lot of people would benefit more from investing the ... | |

| Problems with Bluesound Vault and PC app finding Node2 that are wireless I have the node and feel the key issue is that it has a very weak WiFi reception. My Apple TV and MacBook can pick up a signal and stream video when the node often can’t find the signal or it is very weak with drop outs. Once I moved to an Etherne... | |
| What is the best HEAVY METAL speaker? Save money and get cerwin vega. Really good for this style of music imho. |
