Graham ls5/9 vs Harbeth M30.1
Good question, have not heard any other Harbeth speakerbut maybe the Graham sits between the two!I felt that the Graham had deeper bass than the 30.1But I heard the 30.1 in an unfamiliar room, and not a good room at that. I listen mostly near fiel... 
A lot of hype about PS Audio, deservedly so ?
Wondering if anyone here uses the BHK 250 and the Signature BHK pre with bbc class speakers., my speakers are 87db into 8 ohm and I often play at low volume late at night and would like a system that has good resolution and musicality, without alw...

I am a subscriber to Paul’s videos on YouTube, have been for a while, and although some talk about big improvement using expensive cables, I usually like what he says!He seams like a down to earth good man, and if I lived closer I would not mind l...

Yes, it was their Dac that caught my eye too, I like the way that it is software upgradable.Have not had separates before, I like to have a simple system as possible, therefore have been looking more into Luxman and Accuphase integrated amps, that...

Shadorne, can I ask what speakers you are using ? 
A lot of hype about PS Audio, deservedly so ?
Yeah the way they can upgrade the dac is very compelling, I have tubes in my pre section on one of my integrated amps, and planned to get away from tubes in the future, also I have seen Paul recommend changing the tubes every year!! which seams a ...

As been stated here PS Audio is not a new company, and I think that BMW as a company is both older and has a much finer pedigree than Toyota.In Europe Toyota is seen as a very conservative company that likes to copy rather than innovative;-)

Yeah, I heard someone referred to that, but it could depend on the speakers also, probably easier to hear tube hiss in speakers with high sensitivity.

Do you hear any hiss from your speakers when no music is playing, or does the music come from a pitch black background as they say ?

Thanks for all the replies guys, it is not my intention in any way to put the company down, I am very interested in their product line, got a nice quote on their top dac, the signature preamplifier and the 250 amp to use with my Graham Audio LS 5/... 
Graham ls5/9 vs Harbeth M30.1
I use a solid state amp 100w powerful, but a bit lean and I also use an other solid state that has tubes in the pre amp section, about 150w it is more sweet sounding, but could have some more detail.The plan is to get me a better amp, been looking... 
Graham ls5/9 vs Harbeth M30.1
A bit difficult to answer, I audition the 30.1 in a store, but bought the Graham Audio LS 5/9 unheard! I like the Graham’s better, hearing the Harbeths in the store was a revelation, but also too much of everything, well the midrange.I find the Gr... 
Bladelius-Thor mk3/Leema-Tucana 2/Norma IPA-140?
Sonicbeauty, how does it sound on low volume ?How is the volume control? Is it easy to use in small increments?Do you have the bigger remote?My speakers are Graham Audio LS 5/9you think it would be a good match? 
Searching for the most "accurate" speaker (below 15K)
Have had a pair of Graham Audio LS 5/9 the last few months, must say these speakers are wonderful, think I will keep these for the rest of my audiofile life. 
New McIntosh MA 8900 Integrated amp
Have you checked Accuphase ?The e-470 integrated is in the same class as the McIntosh, also Accuphase has some fantastic pre amps, not sure about pricing in the US, as they differ a great deal country to country.Good luck with your search.
