As I have been lead to beleive the HD dac volume control is active with the RCA output. If you have the optional output transformers for the balanced xlr output and use the xlr it will bypass the...

Those 211's are great amps. Pair them with the right speakers and you are done, excpet for tube shopping.

What does Alan Shaw have to do with Joe's Strad's? Answer...nothing.

Joe loves his Strad's and should be able to revel in his happiness. Alan Shaw wants to keep people from thinking they need a...

I have the iPhone SE. It's a 5 on steroids. A9 chip, fast, best battery life. It's not the 7, but I like a small phone. It's great. I had a 4 for 7 years.

The 520 is a single ended design. The Ayre is fully a fully balanced design. If you want to use Ayre amps you should pair it with a balanced pre. The 520 is supposed to be great and has the built in...

Any competent amplifier will mate with Harbeths. I'm using a Spectral DMA260 on the M40.1. Prior to that I was using a Nagra SS stereo amp. The Harbeths will flesh out the differences in different...

Herman Miller Eames aluminum group executive chair. I have a padded fabric version and an unpadded leather model. I have been sitting in one of these off and on for 20 years.

Jimmy Buffet "You had to be there" live double lp, then Miles Davis Sketches of Spain. Finishing with Pink Floyd Animals. Not sure how I could possibly have chosen this sequence. I was considering...

JV does write a nice piece. Enjoyed reading all four parts.

I'm into backpacking. Sometimes minimalist, others times I'll add a tent and a few comfort items. Definitely good for the soul to get lost and disconnec, even if only a weekend.

Great gear. I really like airtight components, very satisfying gear. Hold onto it for the long run.

Straight SS Spectral in the main system. Tube OTL for headphones and old pre is tube with SS amp for 2 channel HT.

Hi Dre,

It sounds like you had a wonderful visit. I have been using an Ayre P5xe for years. Could you discuss your mods a little? I wonder if I could get a little more out of my phono.

Cheers!...

I had a Nagra pre and amp for my last electronics. Great stuff. I think the new amp range will please several people with the need for a few extra watts. More headroom is always welcome regardless of...

I used a Nagra PLL and PSA on my M40.1 for years. Nagra pairs really well with Harbeth. I never lacked for power. The M40.1 may have low sensitivity but they present an easy load to the amp. Enjoy!

I thnk Verity is a likely speaker given the requirements and contrast with the Wilson Sasha. If I was in Europe the small Cessaro horns would need a listen. Good luck.

I'm using the kleos loaded at 47k. VTF is 1.78 grams. The difference between 1.72-1.78 g was just a bit more definition in the bass. Gain is around 54 db. Good luck

I am using Skylan stands. The stands have four legs that are sandwiched by a top and bottom mdf platform. I have filled the legs with kitty litter. I have placed the dots on the top of the opening...

Delores is a beauty! Talk about room treatment that works.

Glad the dots are working for you Yee. You can experiment with placement of the dots to fine tune your sound. Enjoy!

Increase in clarity across the board at all frequencies. Very affordable method to couple the speaker to the stand. I placed the fat dots on top of the opening used to tension the top and bottom mdf...

I use Herbies Big Fat Dots between my M40.1s and Skylan stands. Definitely helped. I have the axis crossing in front of my listening position. It makes a difference give the wide baffle of the...

I'm using a Spectral DMA-260 amp with Harbeth M40.1. My rational for a few extra watts was the 12" woofer. No complaints on my end. No one really complains about amps and Harbeth speakers unless you...

Makes me want to take my Special 25's out of the box and crank up some vinyl. As long as Mfg stays in Denmark they should hold onto the quality as expected.

I use headphones around once a week. Usually early am on the weekend while my wife is sleeping in the next room. I'm using Sennheiser HD600 to RSA Raptor. I just use the tape out on my pre and use...
