| Who makes great active preamps ? Tube or solid state or hybrid. Relatively cheap compared to most mentioned CROFT 25R .... Valve input MOSFET out | |
| Looking for the best Preamp with a phono circuit built in +1 croft pre ..... I had one madewith single volume pot .... but no remote just deliscious sound rich | |
| Monitor Speaker pairing for Leben 300 I have falcon LS3/5a speakers which are 15ohm - impedance works differently on valve amps..... I also used it / Tested it in my main rig with Tannoy Legacy Ardens (15 inch dual drive 93db and 8ohms) and it was nearly as good as my croft ATC combo. | |
| OMG OMG OMG Harbeth M30.1 INCOMING!!!A Few Questions For Owners If using power Quad QSP is a great budget choice - runs a power for 30w then AB up to 140 in current dumping goodness ..... only just bettered by ATC P1 for a splash (pool) more cash. 30.1 deffo need a bit more power I wouldn’t go less than 70w fr... | |
| Tannoy Legacy Ardens - which amp suggestions for 15 big ass babies Thanks for response - I’m actually running VdH 352 cables at moment and a croft 7r is tempting .... might have to see if I can get one on demo. Will wait for break in and then do some interconnect swapping to see what changes happen ..... rich | |
| OMG OMG OMG Harbeth M30.1 INCOMING!!!A Few Questions For Owners They are great - I am justselling mine as got a new tannoy legacy Arden which absolutely blows it away .... but Harbeth brilliant - I was running mine with croft 25r preamp and ATC P1 power ..... they do sound better with decent amp (they were no ... | |
| When do you turn off the tubes? Same as most - off when done and 20min before to warm up ...... | |
| Luxman Integrated - What do they sound like This was an interesting review .... despite having separate pre and power in main system - this review made me lust after simpler things. Speakers / integrated / streamer / deckhttp://www.stevehuffphoto.com/2018/11/25/hi-fi-review-luxman-590-axii-... | |
| People That Have Upgraded From Harbeth 30.1s.... Just replaced with Tannoy Legacy Ardens - well when I say replaced I should say I just ordered the tannoy so Harbeth 30.1s May just move to second system (but then what about falcon ls3??? ..... dang) | |
| Any experience with Tannoy loudspeakers? I just ordered the new legacy tannoy Ardens...... can’t wait. Have a 3 week holiday coming up so will leave them playing when I’m away- few hundred hours should do it. | |
| Speakers with the most detailed midrange? (non-ESL/planar) I have harbeth 30.1 which I really love but just ordered tannoy legacy Ardens with 15 driver ..., supposed to have fabled mid range but I’ll have to report back.also my wee falcon ls3/5a have great mids and higher but lacking bass as you would exp... | |
| Which area of components to spend the most $ on? Boy I was wrong all my life! Wait until he rips the CDs onto a NAS and spends that money on streamer and DAC ..... pull vs push demand and correction.I still follow 35% speakers, 30% source, (unless vinyl and digital then x2) 25% amp - 10% sundry breakdown as guide | |
| The best music in 2018 A 2018 record just discovered - released October but I only just saw a review and then bought it. If you love country then Colter Wall - Songs of the Plains.think Waylon / gram / Jonnie / john prine. Listening now on my little leben cs300 and falc... | |
| PMC 25.23s anyone? Totem Signature Ones? they should be fine (if talking foot not metre) and again it depends how loud you want. Near field listening perfect .... and depends on setup. The room i had my speakers in was 7m x 5m and 3.5m tall. Your room is near box so there may be reflec... | |
| PMC 25.23s anyone? Totem Signature Ones? Dont know if any use but I had PMC 21s (not the latest 25 versions though) they are amazingly clear and precise and was driving them with LINN Majik DSM - the old 21 were standmount to 23 floormount. Although precise I felt I was losing a bit of m... |
