| When people upgrade from Thiel I owned the CS6 for about 10 years and when I decided I wanted a different sound, I bought the Harbeth M40.1. I've had my 40.1 speakers for over 4 years and I have no desire to change. | |
| Harbeth Love and your experiences I had the SLH5 for about 3-4 years and it was very good. I have a large living room for my listening room and I felt the M40.1 would be better so I upgraded to them. The 40.1 turned out to be a big upgrade in every way. I've had my 40.1s for ne... | |
| Rega RB2000 - Bearing Play I have the RP10/RB2000. I don't have any issues with excessive bearing play. | |
| Recommendations for rolling tubes on Luxman SQ-N10? The Luxman SQ-N10 is a nice little integrated amp. I owned one for about 2-3 years but I sold it 4 years ago. I was using it for a headphone amp and it was excellent for that use. I rolled tubes but it's been to long for me to remember exactly ... | |
| Cartridge for Rega Planar 3? I recommend the Rega Exact because it's a good all around performer that is made to match up well with Rega tables and arms. I have a Rega RP10 and Rega Apheta 2 MC cartridge and the match is excellent. IMO, when you go with a non-Rega cartridge... | |
| Upgrade Linn LP 12 or buy new table Agree with daveyf, the LP12s of 20-40 years ago don't compare with a full upgraded LP12. A LP12 with the Radikal power supply, Keel subchassis, Ekos SE tonearm and Akiva MC cartridge like I have is on a completely higher level than the LP12s of t... | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE Harbeth M40.1. This speaker makes music listening enjoyable day in day out. | |
| Can headphones ever be as good as high end stereo? In my opinion, I would advise against selling off your speaker system to buy a state of the art headphone system. I have some of the best headphones made today (Stax SR009, Audeze LCD X, HiFiMan HE6, LA7000 and a modified AKG 340) and I enjoy them... | |
| Turntable Bearings Try posting your question on the Linn LP12 forum on the Linn site. Several LP12 experts frequent that forum and you're more likely to get answers. | |
| Linn Sondek LP12 impressions I've owned my 25 year anniversary LP12 for almost 17 years. Originally it had the shoe box Lingo power supply, Cirkus bearing, and Ekos arm. Two years ago I upgraded it to the Radikal power supply, Ekos SE arm, Keel sub chassis and Akiva MC cartri... | |
| Headphone amps with remote volume controls I recommend the Audio GD Master 9(M9)headphone amp/preamp that sells for about $1500 USD and with shipping to the US cost me about $1660. I've had a number of high end headphone amps including the Eddy Current Zana Deux SE, Cavalli Audio Liquid Fi... | |
| Suggestions For A Good USB Digital Cable The Light Harmonic Lightspeed was a real game changer in my system. Upgraded to the Lightspeed from a WW Silver Starlight. Big improvements in bass, soundstage, imagining and clarity. YMMV. | |
| Why so many linn lp12s for sale I had my 25 yr anniversary LP12 updated 2 years ago with the Radikal ps, Ekos SE arm, Keel subchassis, and at that time TOTL Akiva MC cartridge. It was costly but I can afford it and I'm very glad I did it. My LP12 sounds absolutely great and bett... | |
