| Luxman vs Accuphase for Harbeth 40.3 XD If coins are an issue you might look into a Hegal 390 or 590. Pass definitely has a tubish midrange, especially the 60. Ive owned the 60 and now have the 250. I also own the Hegal 380, Mac 352 and Accuphase 380. The 380 is a very neural sounding ... | |

| LOUDNESS COMPENSATION EITHER IN AN EQUALIZER OR LOUDNESS CONTOUR CONTROL IN AN AMPLIFIER If you get the shitt Loki max you will have remote control and 3 presets. You can make an adjustment for low listening, then save it. They have a 15 day trail so you can try is first for a minimal restocking fee. I dont need to use mine much , but... | |
| what amplification are you running with your Dynaudio Heritage Specials? Running mine with a Pass 250 integrated. Glorious midrange and deep bass. Nice upgrade from my special 40’s, which are awesome speakers. | |
| anybody upgrade from Dynaudio Special 40 to Heritage Special? Keep the 40’s IMO the heritage are not worth the price to upgrade. I traded my 40’s for the heritage and I am thinking of selling and buying another pair of 40’s. I am using a passlabs 250, so it’s not an amp issue. I will say, the heritage is mor... | |

| Buying Used Equipment on the Internet Good advice here. If you are new to the game, you might start off with TMR,ebay or this site. Buying used IMO is when you know what your want and looking for a good price. I did one friends and family purchase, but I did contact the person I bough... | |
| What happened to all the highend stereo shops @RLJ, You forgot Soundworks, in Wheaton,MD. One of the biggest Krell dealers on the east cost. IMO, they were one snobby dealer. Once the son took over the shop, the shop died quickly. | |

| Burn in vs perception It seems we all have different experiences concerning break in. I have 7 pair of bookshelf speakers and most seemed to change sound over time. I have a Loki Max EQ and I would need to control brightness for a time. After the so call burn in, I wou... | |
