J.M. Reynaud Trente vs. Harbeth Compact 7es3
The reynauds are seductive while the harbeths are a gentleman's speaker. Reynaud's are like paris and harbeths are like london. I'd go with the reynaud. 
Bob Dylan finally makes sense....
Dylan was commenting on the plasticity and hollowness of alot of pop artists out there these days, that they lack substance and depth and that ultimately this music has nothing to offer. Most of it he feels is crap and therefore should be "free" c... 
Vintage vinyl or new reissues?
*As audiophiles the sound quality as opposed to performance quality is often a main concern and sometimes our primary concern*I'd rather listen to bob dylan on a transistor radio than britney spears on a good sounding system if it came down to art... 
3a l'integral nouveau Vs. Verity parisfal encore
Anyone in the vancouver area willing to allow a verity speaker audition? 
Proac 3.8 = Proac 50 Sig + Proac ER1 Sub?
In response to your original question. Try it. Get a sub and see how well you succeed at integrated it to your room and to your tablettes. Perhaps going with a proac sub will help in the matching between the sonic signature of the tablettes and th... 
Proac 3.8 = Proac 50 Sig + Proac ER1 Sub?
Minimonitors can often out image floor standers because of that is in their nature. It i believe has alot to do with the small cabinet size and the nature of the resonances from a small "box." In this sense one might argue to keep the minimonitors...

Systemdek IIX and a vpi scout
Great! Very interesting response. In my mind i would have guessed the scout would be a significant jump. I was told a goldring 1042 would be a good combo, any other thoughts on what a good combo would be? Always also been curious about adding a re...

Anyone here owned both the philips and the new sony transport version want to make a sound comparison? 
Why am I experiencing listener's fatigue?
Yes, I did have the tweeter grilles on as well. This didnt make much of a noticable difference. I recently had them on a pair of osiris stands and placed blu tac the size of dimes on top of the stands. This helped drain the energy through to the s... 
Why am I experiencing listener's fatigue?
Just a follow up to this old thread. I recently bi wired the 805's with some plain speaker wire.( I sold my cardas wire ). This helped take out some of harshness in the treble to my surprise. Anyone reading this who has bw's should bi wire them an... 
Audio Aero Prima 24/192 Mk II cd player......
I can answer my own question above as I recently acquired the AA prima. compared to the stock xa777es the prima's soundstage was only slightly smaller with a sound that was slightly less room filling but big enough that it was still very very enjo... 
Kubala-Sosna & Meitner Emm Labs Gets my top Vote
Heres the site:http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue19/he05nack.htm#topCan anyone compare the fascination with cardas golden reference? It seems clear that the emotion is easily a better cable than the cgr, but what about the fascination compared...
