Sim Audio question...
I have had Simaudio I-3se, I-5, and I-7. The Sim pucks are the way to go. They are about the size of a nickel with a leather like cushion on the bottom to protect any shelf they may be sitting on. In the event you don't want to pay the Sim price o... 
From pro to hi-fi and a little confused...
Xti16What differences are you hearing in your C1 signatures compared to the originals? 
Dynaudio c-2 ...amp advice Mcintosh or simaudio
Itis all a matter of taste. I had a pair of Dynaudio C1 driven by Simaudio I-7 integrated and Supernove cd player. It sounded quite nice to me. However, cable matching was very critical. 
4 or 8 ohm with Harbeth
Chashas1,My amp is a Rogue Audio Tempest bought from a dealer that does not carry Harbeth. My thought in posting this question is to get input from those directly familiar with Harbeth and tube amps with 4 and 8 ohm taps. BTW all my current system... 
4 or 8 ohm with Harbeth
Thanks for the replies. One of my concerns was the possibility of damage to either the speakers or amp. I will try both and listen. 
Rogue Audio Outlaw Receiver...owner thoughts?
I have a friend that has the Outlaw receiver with an entry level Pro-ject turntable, NAD M series universal disc player, and PSB full range speakers in a second system. To my ears it sounded grainy and a bit sterile. If you are considering purchas... 
Power Cable for Simaudio Moon i 3.3 Integrated Amp
I have had the I-3SE, I-5, and I-7. I started with Signal as Bryn mentioned in his post. Though better than the stock cord, there are better without spending a lot of money. That said, I have found better results focusing on the interconnect and s...

Budget integrated amps for garage system
If you want your music loud you might give prior consideration to speakers. In a garage with the noise of your cycling trainer the speakers you listed may very well be driven to distortion, whatever the amp you decide on. A pair of Klipsch Heresy ... 
Where do I go from Eva Cassidy?
A quick plug for her newly released "Simply Eva". Her rendition of "Who Knows Wher the Time Goes?" once sung by the wonderful Sandy Denney with Fairport Convention is a joy. 
REL Strata III spikes
I was thinking I would go to a hardware store and buy bolts with the proper thread size and use a grinder to form a point. I would then use Isoclean support discs under them to both protect the floor and give isolation. 
Recommend an integrated amp for my Harbeth 40.1's
You might give a call to the USA distributor. The number listed on Harbeth's website is 603-437-4769. 
Dynaudio C-1 or Harbeth-7-es-III
As a Dynaudio C1 owner I have been following this thread with interest. I may be moving in the near future to a house that has a smaller living room, which will necessitate placing the speakers to about 18" max from the rear wall (currently my C1'...

How last setting be memorized on Moon P5.3?
After a listening session are you turning the unit off in the rear or from the front via the "Standby" button? If from the rear this may very well be normal. If by the Standby on the front you may have a problem. Simaudio units are designed to be ...
