LAIV Harmony


New company with a new product.  There are several "professional" reviews out there, but not much consumer input here or elsewhere.  Those that have been using now for over a month, what are your thoughts?  What were you using previously and how does it compare?

I have ve 2-3 audio systems at any given time , my wife is finally on board I go to all the events and audio clubs and let’s me buy Audio on her behalf since I have 40 years + as an Audiophile .

Being semi retired I am going to be settling down soon 

the T+A200 still the best dac under $12k !!

Just received the Harmony. Wow! Fresh out of the box it's certainly better than my Gustard R26. Bass goes deeper with more impact. The midrange is glorious.
Can't wait to see where this thing goes.

@campo007 congratulation. How does its soundstage, particularly the depth, compare to the R26 in your room?

@lanx0003 right now with just 10 hours on it, I’d say the Harmony has the same width as the R26. The depth is still a little flat, but it is showing signs of opening up. 
 

The unit still sounds new and constrained. The top end still needs to open up. Dynamics are also a little flat. 
 

It’s showing some signs of being amazing. The bass is deep and impactful. The midrange is sweet and beautiful, much sweeter than a fully run in R26. Acoustic instruments sound spot on, very natural. 
 

I’ll report back once it’s has 100-200 hours on it. 
 

These are my first impressions 10 hours in. Early days yet.
