| Turn Table Decision @bkrpdx If you like the Marantz you should keep it . You should replace the stylus on that 40 year old Shure cartridge. LP gear sells a replacement!https://www.lpgear.com/product/SHSV15IV.html BTW, since that table is over 40 years old a new belt ... | |
| Sensitivity Ratings on Preamplifiers or Integrateds vs. Amplifiers @meschYour thinking is correct. The input sensitivity of that Line Magnetic is on the low side. Since you don’t have a volume adjustment on the DAC you can always add a schitt SYS if you want to use the volume control in the higher range on the Li... | |
| Turn Table Decision @ bkrpdx Shure cartridges have a ground tab on the right channel. If the tab is on the cartridge it should be removed. These are the instructions from the Shure website. Give it a shot! CONNECTIONS (see Figure 1): R~ght "hot" lead (usually red) t... | |

| Harbeth P3ESR vs the new XD Why would they name that LS3/5a the 70th anniversary limited edition? That makes no sense to me!https://www.rogers-hifi.uk/latest-news-from-rogers/2018/6/19/70th-anniversary-edition | |
| Harbeth P3ESR vs the new XD @kw6 How can there be a 70th anniversary of a speaker that was introduced in 1975? Sounds very fishy! | |

| Tube rolling with Quicksilver Mono 60s -- from KT77 to KT88? KT 120? etc. @decooney Thanks for the information. I wonder why the manual says that the KT88 can be used? BTW, I use the KT88 with my QS Silver 70 amps and Mike told me that can also use the KT 150 if I wanted to give them a try. This is from the M120 manual!... | |
| I was literally minutes from purchasing the Special 40's... @cd318This is the last line in John Atkinsons review of the Harbeth P3ESR. BTW, I happen to agree with him! I love the Harbeth P3ESR. I think it’s the best iteration yet from any manufacturer of the BBC LS3/5A minimonitor concept.This is the full ... | |
| Tube rolling with Quicksilver Mono 60s -- from KT77 to KT88? KT 120? etc. @decooney My friend has the QS 120 amps and he has used KT88 tubes with those amps. It states this in the QS M120 manual! Mono 120 for web (quicksilveraudio.com) | |
| powered sub to an Adcom speaker selector box @cunawabiGood move! | |
| Second system recommendations $5K budget If you’ve owned Harbeth and liked them it seems like a no brainer! | |
| Photos of my system @ hilde45 Outstanding! It looks like you finally got off the carousel!! | |
| I was literally minutes from purchasing the Special 40's... @ hailtothevictorz If you want one of the best LS3/5a type of speaker I would spend the 3 grand on these! I’ve owned many LS3/5a type of speakers and IMO the Harbeth is the best of the lot! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqFIaiPT_kYHere is a TA... |
