| Harbeth P3ESR Anniversary edition. Worth the Upgrade? Wow- very nice valinar...Why do I feel this thread is going to cost me money (-: My second system consists of the following. Room is just over 11 feet square, but I have an 8 ft opening in back of my listening position.WT Amadeus/Charisma wood bod... | |
| Harbeth P3ESR Anniversary edition. Worth the Upgrade? If you read in to that review, or what I took from it was.... The Anniv edition was only marginally better. At one point, he could barely distinguish a difference. On the other hand, after putting them on the TON TRAGER stands, he wanted to put th... | |
| could use some good advice on turntables.. Clearaudio would be from Germany. I would consider a Well Tempered base model, called The Simplex. I'm a happy owner of the model above, which is Amadeus. Seems tweeky, but really becomes second nature. No lift Q lever, so if that's important look... | |
| If you could only keep 5 record albums, what would they be? I'd say Nick Drake: 5 Leaves early US Antilles....Eva Cassidy: Songbird Hoffman pressing, Maybe my Zep III Classic.... Hate to be without my Beach Boys: Surfs Up...Joni: Ladies early Reprise brown... Early brown label Strange Days...Yeah, they wou... | |
| Anyone Using Harbeths with Grilles off? Harbeth also recommends just about any amp over 50 watts. I'm sorry...that's not flying with me. Just saying (-: Back on subject...I enjoy my P3's with Grills on, and don't want to mess with them. Cheers -Don | |
| Drink of choice for serious listening? Today Bundaberg Australian Ginger Beer, Bulleit Bourben, twist lemon! | |
| Whats the FATTEST sounding Tube amp to warm up Lean speakers? Any of the CJ Premier series... 8 or 12 mono, the 11 Stereo.... I miss my 8A's, although my back feels otherwise. If it were me, I'd go with the one that will drive your speaker. A bit off subject, but the Premier 16 is also a little honey. | |
| Specific to CROFT phono users Agree with your point that nothing in the chain can make that back. I am willing to sacrifice some detail. I have the Harbeth P3's are in a smaller square shape room, around 11 X11 feet... I'm willing to sacrifice some openness and detail for war... | |
| Specific to CROFT phono users noromance- You're 100% correct...I have indeed been on the fence on this. I have been afforded the luxury of listening to the Charisma 103 with my Homage Step Up, but the hope is to no longer need to do that. With regard the the Tubes, I bought th... | |
| Best vinyl purchases based on pressing, studio production, sound quality and enjoyment. Oops- My bad. I meant to say The Yes Album, not Close to the Edge. The Yes Album is my favorite from Yes, but I'm happy with my early press.I need to revisit FRAGILE, because I've acquired the Hoffman pressing, and need to compare to my Early US d... | |
| 12ax7 tube recommendations for Croft Phono Integrated I just installed 3 Amperex (mini watt) from Brent Jesse.I'm enjoying them quite a bit. A bit more natural (less grainy) sounding than the stock JJ's. Nicely balanced tube, that seems to get out of the way with no deficiencies that I can detect. Th... | |
| Best vinyl purchases based on pressing, studio production, sound quality and enjoyment. Funny that you bring up the FRIDAY MUSIC GBMB Slaw... I always hesitate because of their spotty rep, but yet there are titles I've heard others say are great. The 45 rpm Close to the Edge comes to mind. I do have the Friday version of America: T... | |
| Starting a second system Leben integrated driving Falcon's. Have a friend who heard, and raved about this combo. | |
| Best vinyl purchases based on pressing, studio production, sound quality and enjoyment. No Slaw...you're killing me. $17, and I was done (-: Just kidding... Great record, love No Way Out of Here, and also last song on same (1st) side. Same Record Riot show, and another score. After a nice AIVS bath, the Jerry Garcia: S/T early Warner... | |
| Anyone hear a Croft Integrated Amp? The phono integrated truly responds to tube rolling. I was going to go high output cart, and avoid step up.... But now that P3's are dialed in, Vicoustic DC2 diffusion installed, and Amperex (Philips) mini-watt installed in Croft, I'm staying with... |
