| Why is there no love for Prima Luna? I used to own a Dialogue Premium HP and thought it was awesome. It replaced a Cary SLI-80 tube integrated. The Primaluna blew away the Cary amp, which is made in the U.S.A. The whole made in China xenophobia thing is a joke IMO. Buy what you w... | |
| Dedicated Harbeth P3 Thread Thanks for sharing your experiences.I owned a pair of P3ESR’s a few years ago and used them in my second system, which is situated in our family room. I never put much into the set-up and used them with an amp that probably wasn’t a good fit for t... | |
| B & W Formation Duo Powered Speakers - Any Good? @arafiq B&W Formation Duo | |
| B & W Formation Duo Powered Speakers - Any Good? I went to a local shop to hear them. Didn't like them. I thought they lacked detail and did not image well. What do I know? I've moved on. | |
| Holo Audio May DAC @debjit I haven't tried mine with DSD512, but I'm sure it sounds great. I feed it with a Innuous Zenith Mk3 server. I also use a Jay's Audio CDT-2 transport with it and they both sound great. The best I've heard so far in digital. | |
| KISUNE HoloAudio KTE LCR-1 MK4 MC/MM/MI – LCR RIAA Phono Stage I am also interested in this. At $1200 there is little risk involved. I have their May DAC and am blown away by how good it sounds. They seem to know what they are doing. Would be worth checking it out. | |
| subwoofer for Harbeth P3ESR A sub is a great idea, dare I say, essential with smaller Harbeth speakers, unless you do not want or need a fuller sounding experience. I used a REL sub with my Monitor 30's several years ago and it really allowed the Harbeths to shine. You'll ... | |
| I've been dragged to recommendations, kicking and screaming On ROON I often search up someone I want to check out and while listening to them I check out the recommended albums as I scroll down. I've found some really good stuff that way. | |
| Looking for a vinylesk sounding DAC I find it amusing how so many "audiophiles" dig in on one or the other medium of music delivery as being superior and the other being useless. I believe that both digital and analog are amazing once the right formula is found. The right combinat... | |
| Blue Note Tone Poet Series I just ordered up some of the TP series titles. Looking forward to getting them. Although I've been a rock music guy for the most part, I recently cannot get enough of really good jazz. John Coltrane is the bomb! | |
| Holo Audio May DAC @cal3713 Actually, the first I heard of this DAC was in Stereophile. Herb Reichert mentioned it in his column, and Jim Austin reviewed it separately. | |
| Holo Audio May DAC @jjss49 Yeah, probably! LOLIn seriousness, I don't know if these awards mean anything other than when a component I love gets the recognition it deserves it's exciting to hear. | |
| Holo Audio May DAC The Holo Audio May DAC 3 won the Product Of The Year in Stereophile this month. I couldn't find a web link to the article. It will probably be up in a week or two. I read this in the print edition. | |
| A move from Harbeth to... Wilson? @yogiboy Thanks for explaining. I think I understand what you mean. IME, Harbeths are easy to drive but need a certain synergy with the amplifier to sound their best. I have had a few amps that sounded "small" with my Harbeths in comparison to ... | |
| A move from Harbeth to... Wilson? @yogiboy stated that Harbeths sounded "boxy".Can you define what boxy means? My imagination tells me that it would sound like the music was coming from inside of a box, but this does nothing to describe the sound. If the box were a closed box the ... |
