| Got Noise? Sorry, Al, I forgot to include answers to 2 and 3 in my reply. 2) Flipping the ground switch introduced an additional hum so I moved it back to the original position. 3)Muting the preamp eliminated the hissing noise. Let me know if this alters you... | |
| Got Noise? I played around a little last night and here is where we are:I confirmed that the noise is ONLY present when the amp is on. I can turn on any/all other components and don't hear the hissing sound. Disconnecting the amp from the rest of the compone... | |
| Got Noise? Excellent suggestions guys. Let me work through some of your ideas and I'll get back to you with results. Thank you! | |

| Dynavector 20XL-2 vs. Soundsmith Zypher Thanks all. Bifwynne, I'm actually now leaning toward the 20X2 H instead of the 20X2 L so I can go into the MM input of my Herron. So, your experience with both these carts is very helpful. Can you discuss the differences you hear between the two ... | |
| Recommend a Tube Pre & SS Amp Combo You could do a Modwright LS100 and KWA150 for about $5K used, including some Sophia 6SN7's and a Mullard for the rectifier which take the performance of the LS100 to a significantly higher level. I've been using this combination for almost a year ... | |
| Most forgiving high end speaker 10k-20k? I agree on the Harbeth M40.1 recommendation. I would also suggest you investigate Daedalus Audio. Very resolving yet never fatiguing. | |
| speakers prior to owning Harbeth 7es 3's I went from 7ES2's to Daedalus and got just what I was after--the same tonal purity and non-fatiguing sound but larger with more detail and dynamics. I ran them with Audio Research electronics (LS26/SD135) and the same X03Se you are using for a wh... | |
| Should i move rack to sidewall? I've pondered the same question after reading GBS. I've mostly had my rack (or in my other house a large entertainment center) between the speakers and have wondered to what degree it is impacting the sound quality of my system. Though I have neve... | |
| Speaker Cables for Harbeth P7ES-3 -where to start? I'm a former C-7 owner and agree with what has been said above. I bought mine in England while living there for a year and had them connected to a crappy Japanese receiver with some old Monster cable for a few months before bringing them home--the... | |

| Clearaudio Ovation I was hoping to get to John's for that event but I had other plans that could not be changed. Thanks for sharing your observations! | |
| Esoteric K-03/Plinius CD-101 Steelhead:As a X03SE owner and K03 wannabe I'd love to hear your views following a comparison of the two units. Please scratch that itch and set up a listening session with both and get back to us! | |
| Best Stand for Harbeth 7ES-3 Compact I used custom made Target three posts with mine (19") but I'm sure the Skyland stands or Sound Anchors are equally good. Let the height be determined by your listening chair and seating position. One suggestion is to make sure the top of the stand... | |
| ARC LS-27 or ARC ref-3 Woooaaah. Bifwynne--why such urgency in your post? This isn't a race. I'm sure both pieces are nice and the differences between them are relatively small. ARC sells lots of units and updates their product line with (some say too frequent) regulari... |
