Cartridge for Gyro SE/ Rega RB300 &Slee Gold Era V
Hi, I liked the Clearaudio Virtuoso a lot when I had a Gyro & Rega arm. Later, when I switched to a SME arm, I used Golding Elite and VDH moving coils, but never had a chance to try those w/ the Rega arm.TLH 
Amplification with Harbeth Loudspeakers
I heard an older P3 with a Pass 30 watt amp years ago, and it was a truly incredible sounding system. Only other time I've heard Harbeths was C7s w/ a Belles 150, which didn't sound as good. This was surprising, esp. since I had used a Belles amp ... 
What about JA Michell tecnodec
Hi, I can't add a lot to what was said above, but I own a Techno and am quite pleased. It has a neutral but extended response. In fact, some dealers claim that the Techno is 95% of the performance of the Gyro. Having owned a Gyro in the past, I do... 
Spacedeck compared with Gyrodec SE
Hi, I guess I've missed most of this discussion, but will add my two cents as a loyal Michell owner. I've owned the Gyro SE and loved it; regret that I sold. I "downsized" and tried the Nott Horizon, admittedly not a fair comparison. However, I fo... 
Reference 3A Dulcet-anyone own this?-sound?
Hi, I heard these at a local dealer. I was very impressed, esp. considering their size. Very detailed, wide soundstage, impressive dynamics for their size and great vocals. Still, they are not going to give as much LF information as the de Capos, ... 
LS3/5A & Pass Labs
Hi, I heard the older Harbeth HL-P3s driven by one of the Pass-designed Class A amps 8-9 yrs. ago, and it was one of the most amazing reproducters of the human voice I had heard till that point. I ended up going instead w/ larger Spendors and tube... 
Spendor s3/5 SE, Harbeth HLP 3
Hi, After thinking about what I wrote yesterday, I thought I should add a few comments. First, after re-reviewing my comment above, I feel compelled to say that the Spendor 3/5s are an incredible speaker; they just didn't have enough LF response f... 
VPI Scout or Michell Technodec?
Rene, Thanks again for the advice. The motor is competely quite now, after tightening the screw on the pulley.TLH 
VPI Scout or Michell Technodec?
Restock, I have a question about your Technodec. The motor pulley on my Techno has been making some noise. I am wondering if there should be a washer between the motor assembly and pulley, or if the pulley should be fixed (ie, glued) to the motor ... 
Spendor s3/5 SE, Harbeth HLP 3
I owned both Spendor 3/5s and de Capos. I also owned Spendor 2/3s over a long period of time. I haven't heard the current HLP 3s, but did audition the older version 6 or 7 years ago. I have also heard other Harbeths in a home environment a few tim... 
Proac One SC versus De Capo i. Opinions please?
Hi, I don't know if I can add much to TIC's comments, but I owned a pair of de Capos (original version) for about a year. I sold to go to a more expensive speaker, which I ultimately found disappointing compared w/ the de Capos. I'm counting my pe... 
VPI Scout or Michell Technodec?
Hi, Just received my Technodec tonight and set up. My initial impressions after 2 hrs. max. are favorable. Compared w/ the Nottingham Horizon I had last fall, I think the Techno maybe has greater extension on both HF and LF, but perhaps not quite ... 
VPI Scout or Michell Technodec?
Hi, I have a Technodec coming in a day or two. Once I have it up and running for a few days, I will post my impressions.TLH 
Reference 3a Dulcet
Hi, I have only heard the Twin Mk. II. I would like to hear the JMRs, but I don't think there is a local dealer currently.TLH 
Nottingham Horizon?
Hi, Having owned a Gyro SE and Horizon, the simple answer is no. The Gyro is definately in another league, but then it is over twice the price.TH
