| No Improvement With Transparent Reference RCA Interconnects For Naim NDX 2 Streamer Thanks for the details.Once again, moving the speakers further out from the wall behind them improves the sound.The increased toe-in will, among other things, compensate for being closer to the side walls. | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados I don't think this is particularly well known, it's a youthful Andras Schiff playing Schumann. Gesange der Fruhe; Nachtstucke; Kreisleriana; Variationen in Es-dur [forgive lack of diacritics]. On Teldec. This displaces Lupu as my favorite Schum... | |
| Q acoustics harsh high end The moral of this story is that you can't trust at all reviewers' characterizations of equipment's sonic signature. *You* need to hear it. | |

| Does the first reflection point actually matter?? @aj523The 40.2's are so far away from the side walls that I can't believe that they are much of a problem. Vu of Deja Vu in Wash DC, a major Harbeth dealer, stated to me that they needed a *minimum* of 2 feet from outer edge to side wall, and you... | |

One of the tracks was the first movement of the Barber violin concerto played by Shaham, exactly the r... | |
| What tube amp for Harbeth 40.1 You are discovering these chameleon qualities of the 40.1. It always sounds good, but different amps, tube and SS, high and low powered, bring out further some of its elements.This may sound harsh but the 40.1 really deserves more than can be bou... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling If you're using solid core wire for the signal, does it matter whether the neutral is wound clockwise or anticlockwire? I'd assume not. | |
| Which Preamp. We can't tell you.There are really only two factors:its synergy with other components in your systemyour preference/how it sounds to you in your system.Doubtless either would be great; if you want to be sure, you're going to have to find a way of ... | |
| ls this the frequency of vinyl It's well know that those two frequencies are key factors in teleportation. | |
| the sound of massed violins in classical orchestral recordings Just one other thing: rather than a "gritty sandpapery reverberation" what I hear when there are problems is more of a harsh glare, a kind of steely sound that might otherwise suggest that a component or a speaker is close to its performance envel... |
