| Isolation Cones vs Cheap Cables With speakers of those dimensions, look first to these, rather than either cones or PCs. https://soundocity.com/ | |
| Pure Class A SS vs Tube Amp Or one of the Raven integrated. A strong alternative to Rogue and PrimaLuna. | |
| Pure Class A SS vs Tube Amp If that 100dB figure is accurate (manufacturers often inflate it), then I would have thought you could use one or other of the Pass First Watt amps. There are several. Talk to Reno Audio about matching.Also take a look at Sugden, often overlooked. | |
| Harbeth speakers vs Audionote Heard both at Deja Vu a couple of years ago, systems undoubtedly somewhat different. The 40.2's completely blew me away--all I could say was Wow. I liked the Audio Note: I found they had an unequalled purity of timbre, i.e. a particular instrume... | |
| @georgehifi It will be a real challenge to find "smaller sized amps [that] are easier to move" that genuinely double in output from 4 ohms to 2 ohms.As Hamlet once said, Ay, there's the rub. | |
| Best speaker upgrade to pair with a 25 year old Mark Levinson 23.5 power amp/ 28 preamp I'd stick with the B&W. Sure, we can get you into something "better", but at what cost? Not the cost of what used 801's are going for these days, but a whole lot more. | |
| Harbeth vs Graham audio You've actually got Graham, Stirling, Falcon, and the Spendor Classic line. Good luck trying to audition more than two of those (and Harbeth) in the same system. | |
| Harbeth 40.2 40th Anniversary with Simaudio mono blocks @prof You should try auditioning the Spendor Classic 100--very different experience to the D series (if the 100 were available anywhere in the US for audition...) | |
| Suspended cables You need to run monofilament from hooks in the ceiling to relieve the stress. | |

| Classical Music for Aficionados Listening to Louis Lortie's recording of the complete Chopin Etudes.Some fine playing from a little-mentioned pianist. And some of these Etudes, listened to again, sound distinctly more "modern" than what one normally associates with Chopin. | |
| A philosophical question. My decades-long exploration of classical music has always been repertoire based. By this I mean I always sought out those less-known or outright forgotten composers on obscure labels, rather than sticking to a core of canonical composers and piec... | |
| BoenickeAudio's "unique" wood speaker driver? Tang Band makes a range of bamboo-coned drivers. Bache uses them in his speakers. | |
| Guest suddenly takes it upon herself to move my speakers Give this man (unicorn) free insider status. | |
| $3000 stand mounted speakers? Easy. Fritz. He has four models. Call him and he'll explain the differences. Any of them would be great. |
