| People That Have Upgraded From Harbeth 30.1s.... Many many years ago I was taken with the urge to upgrade from the speakers I was running at the time, B&W DM1800 (a remarkably good speaker in its day). I settled on Thiel 2.3. They were fine, but needed a good bit of power. Unwisely, I ava... | |

Subject Verb and Object.Just about any combination of SVO is possible, depending on which part of the utterance you're putting the emphasis on. Not too much room for ambiguity, given common sense ... | |
| Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model) I wonder if that built-in will be bypassable, so we can use our own phono if we want to. | |

| Alta Audio speakers--anyone heard them? Yes, I would really like to hear the Lelantos, but I've always been suspicious of ribbon tweeters, as I've found I always prefer soft dome. But no one I've read every mentions Alta's sounding overly bright or etched. | |
| DC Offset Blocker/Killer - where to buy in the USA It's a story as old as the hills.A company spends decades establishing a really good name.A conglomerate swoops in and buys it up--and they're buying the name much more than the factory or the know-how. They proceed to try and squeeze every last ... | |
