| Harbeth 40.2 I own 40.2 Anniversary model now after recently upgrading from the 40.1 model. I might not need to say this but I am a huge fan of Harbeth speakers. The 40.2 is the best speaker I've ever owned. I haven't compared them to every speaker in their ... | |
| Mytek Manhattan or Berkeley Alpha or PS Audio Direct Stream This may or may not be helpful to you, but I owned the Manhattan II for about 6 weeks and thought it sounded great. It allowed me to love digital music (I have put most of my resources into building a class A analog set up in the past 5 years). ... | |
| Upgrade my DAC or buy more weed? I was a regular pot smoker in high school and college, and found that my life would always take a down turn while I was smoking regularly. I believe this is because I was too young to use it responsibly and allowed it to take over my life.I'm in ... | |
| LFD NCSE Mk3 @ianrmack I've seen the insides of the LFD amps and find them aesthetically pleasing. If you don't that's OK, but there are many many amps costing much more than this amp that don't sound as good. I know many audiophiles who would prefer eye can... | |
| Production of Harbeth anniversary edition speakers sold out!! @arturgorniak I have the same speakers as you but drive them with a LFD NCSE Mk III. It's an excellent combination. Have you ever had the chance to hear this amp with your 40.2's? I'm intrigued by your amp set up but my space is too small to r... | |
| Lyngdorf TDAI-3400 I had the TDAI-3400 for about a year and used only the on board DAC for streaming (Innuous Zenith III) and was pretty happy with it until I tried the Mytek Manhattan 2 DAC. It's a lot more expensive as a stand alone DAC but the improvements in so... | |
| Production of Harbeth anniversary edition speakers sold out!! @celo I sensed that you might own a pair of Harbeths. We are a special breed. ;) | |
| Production of Harbeth anniversary edition speakers sold out!! Alan Shaw is not only a great speaker designer but he is also an amazing business person. He knows how to design and sell/market for sure!I assume this is meant as a complement and not sarcasm but it's difficult to tell in a user forum. I actuall... | |
| LFD NCSE Mk3 Here is a follow up to my original post from December.I had been thinking a lot about the NCSE 3 but kep't holding off because I had just bought my Harbeth 40.2's and needed to absorb the cost of those before changing out any components. In Janua... | |
| Harbeth vs Graham audio I have not heard the Graham speakers but I have heard and owned several pairs of Harbeth and Spendor speakers. For my money the Harbeths are better than Spendors. My hunch is that it will be hard to beat the Harbeths on sound, and without a doub... | |
| SME 20/3 --- tonearm recommendations!? I have a 20/2 that I ran with the IV.vi tonearm for a few years before upgrading to a Tri-planar tonearm. The Tri-Planar was a huge upgrade.I had to machine a custom arm board to mount it to the plinth, but it wasn't hard to find a local shop to ... | |
| Parasound JC3+, or Musical Fidelity Nu-Vista Vinyl phonostage, or Whest Audio PS.40RDT SE It will be very hard to find anything better than the JC3+ in that price range, but your ears will tell you what you like. | |
| Tannoy Speaker Owners I have two sets of Tannoys: a vintage pair of Eatons from the 70's and a new pair of Autograph Mini's purchased a few months ago. In my experience, Tannoys are very easy to drive. Neither of these speakers have been finicky about the amps I've ... | |
| Japan Trip - Looking For Shopping MC Cartridge Recommendations @lewm Thanks for the suggestions. I know Yodobashi Camera very well as it was one of my regular haunts while I lived there. I was unaware that Lyra is not sold in Tokyo. Why is that? I'm also considering some other brands of cartridges made i... | |
| Jerry Raskin's Needle Doctor Gone? I live in the Twin Cities and was a regular customer there. I'm really sad they are gone. I know a few of their employees and hope the best for them. I imagine Jerry will sell the business eventually. |
