| Class D with high efficiency speakers I am running Peachtree Nova 300 and Harbeth 30.1 24/7 with no probs at all and electric bill is almost un impacted. With a little effort -cords, ethernet- it sounds really good. | |
| Baffled and Frustrated: Streaming/DAC Sound Issues I have the exact problem I know the sound of which you speak. I use RP or Amazon with an optical cable and BluOS. That little crunch will drive you crazy and it appears out of nowhere when your set up is working fine so…nbad wire maybe…just today ... | |
| Vinyl - One Word - WOW!! Whatev Man | |
| Not sure what to think or do... Just a little story here; I have been running my system in my bedroom literally 24/7 for almost a year- I have issues- Harbeth 30.1's I bought new in '17 and a Peachtree Nova 300 and Bluesound Node just streaming. The other night, POP, everything... | |
| Power cable dilemma I’m using cheap Pangea I do not like but I do not know on what direction to proceed with power cord to power Harbeth 30.1 with 300 S/S. ???? | |
| The revolution has begun! I love the Peachtree gear I use now right out of the box for cost and performance with BlueOS and Nova 300 DAC. Most bros around on site here don’t yet have flip phone… | |
| When someone tells you it's a $40,000 amp, does it sound better? yes | |

| What are/were the best sounding cheap components you have ever had? This is great stuff but what it makes me want to weep for is all the stuff in the last 50 years I've either left behind or given away to kids, step kids, grandkids, storage spaces never saw again and etc. Klipsch speakers, Tannoy speakers, old sub... | |
| Magnepan .7 Alternatives It's been said many times before: Harbeth. I use the Bluesound Node with a outboard DAC, configure Bluesound to disable it's DAC/clock when doing so. | |
| When a budget speaker is preferred to a high end one... Never happened to me; only so called engineers" here about tend to think they can always build it better & cheaper signed- the inspector | |
| Whats playing on your system today? 1-31-91 JGB | |
| Upgrading Changing out cables is fun and easy so I do it sometimes. | |
| Your thoughts on selling Here is the problem as I see it with this whole "hobby"; Unless one dwells with the 1% and can truck in really fine equipment through the years the old used components that I paid top dollar for are worth almost nothing now. At best pennies on the... | |
| Why do so many people have problems with bass? I learned to love my Bass listening to Lesh and the Dead In the 70's live- I saw the "Wall of Sound" maybe 10 times and you could hear a drumstick break 50 yards away. The watts was like 50, 000 and the system itself was famously built in the fir... |
