| Integrated amp: Can it perform equal to separates? A cd player with built in volume control( Wadia, Audio Aero, Nagra! etc) plus a power amp is maybe another two box solution worth considering if cd is your only source. | |
| Why do Harbeth speakers have such a cult following Dave 72 I can see why you'd think that. Here's a link that might explain why. Post 3 and 8 are by Alan Shaw the designer.http://www.harbeth.co.uk/usergroup/showthread.php?1727-Lxnn-and-Harbeth-combinations-for-the-modern-listener&p=20775#post2... | |
| LFD NCSE Mk II Break In Period? Yes Jay my NCSE was new and I certainly didn't give it the required?! 200 hours. Another deal breaker for me was how manual volume control had a much too restrictive useable range ( from quiet to loud was between around 7 to 8 o'clock if I remembe... | |
| LFD NCSE Mk II Break In Period? Hope it works out Jay. I like you have that ( indoctrinated?) audiophile fear that those extra 'filters' will destroying everything! You can see from my system thats its the hight of the minimalist approach. No tone controls anywhere in sight!...a... | |
| LFD NCSE Mk II Break In Period? Jay maybe worth a look at (though terribly unfashionable!) some SS integrated amps with tone controls. Mcintosh , Accuphase and Luxman come to mind.( can you still trade exchange with your dealer?)Complete opposite to the LFD philosophy but probab... | |

| LFD NCSE Mk II Break In Period? Hi Jayh31, I could be wrong be I think Donjr has Compact 7ES-3 which have a metal dome tweeter ( and he likes his). Conversely when I tried the NCSE mk I with my soft domed Harbeth M30's I also didn't care for the sound ( similar result to what it... | |
| Input Needed - Renovating Basement for A/V System Far a carpeting/rug solution. www.flor.com tiles are a great option as you can just replace or clean the individual tile in the case of a cat mishap. They also come in a great variety of designs . | |
| Why do Harbeth speakers have such a cult following Title of this thread should be: Why am I ,Taters so obsessed with Harbeths. (Judging by all many of your other threads) | |
| how do we call wadia 581/781's metal remote? I'd call Wadia and refer to it as the 'plastic battery back cover' from the 581/781's metal remote. I'm sure they'll figure what you mean. | |
| Unbalanced and Balanced output voltage When using a Wadia cd player's built in digital volume control the loudness levels are the same regardless to whether the RCA or XLR out puts are used . But I was under the impression that they used a true balanced circuit? | |
| matching amps input voltage to source output volta Thanks again Al for taking the time explaining all this. I'm not very technical minded .But yes I am using XLR cables mainly because the Nagra amp only has these available on back ( supposedly due to lack of space which does seem odd as they have ... |
