| Any Harbeth users hear Fern and Roby Ravens? I heard the Ravens at the 2018 CAF and was seriously unimpressed. I don't know if they've undergone development since then. They were in a LTA room driven by one of LTA's integrated. (I speak as a H 40.2 owner.) | |
| What is the best USB cable under $500 for a natural presentation and good detail ? Trust me. I've forgotten more about audio than you will ever know. Never trust anyone who says "trust me". | |
| Why do all Mahler recordings seem too bright? It's well known that in the early days of digital recording and DDD CD's, DGG had some of the worst nails-on-chalkboard digital glare. But as time went on things improved, and like I say, more recent DGG Mahler sounds fine to me. | |
| Beatles Get Back documentary The footage was filmed 15 months before the break-up. By the time the original film based on that footage came out, the dates were much closer. | |
| Your Favorite Christmas Song-One only Please- There is only one worthwhile Xmas song, and this is it. "Santa Baby", Eartha Kitt. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mk_GmhD053E | |
| Why do all Mahler recordings seem too bright? I don't know what's going on. All I can say is that Bernstein recording of the 5th with the Vienna Philharmonic on DGG sounds gorgeous on my system. | |
| Tube Preamps that work well with SS amps? Let's frame this question another way. Other than when there is an impedance mismatch between them, are there any other circumstances under which a tube preamp + SS amp combo will not work well? | |
| Tube Preamps that work well with SS amps? OK, I want to hear about those specific instances of tube preamp + SS amp = soggy sound? | |
| Sexiest New 'Vintage'-Style Integrated/Amp/Receiver Anything Leben. Also Shindo and Airtight. | |
| Amp for the Warefdale Evo I own the Aria monoblocks with Aria preamp, and they perform splendidly together. Highly recommended. | |
| Isotek EVO3 Syncro UNI How much improvement you hear will depend entirely on how "dirty" the electricity coming into your house is in the first place. "Cleaner" AC--law of diminishing returns. | |
| Preamp recommendations for my system please For truly balanced, I think you need to be looking at Atmasphere preamps. | |
| ProAc Response 2: CJ CAV45, Cary SEI 300B, or Cary Rocket 88? For many years, I owned Response 2.5's which I drove with a Cary CAD-301SE amp. This was a little-known power amp that they made for a while. It used a larger chassis than the '300 integrated, but also had a pair of 300Bs. I think Cary rated it... | |
| Seeing sounds and music..... I attended a performance of Prometheus in Hill Auditorium (Ann Arbor) with full light effects. It was groovy. | |
| HiFi vs MidFi Is that head in a vise, or head in a vice? |
