The real issue comes down to neophytes versus long term audiophiles. The Objectivists tend to quote data and "results" from "blind listening" using normal off the street people and/or mostly neophytes. However, audiophiles have learned from listening to high end gear over some time, most of us...

That was my belief also. This is why I was surprised when I read on their website that burn in is not necessary. I can say in no uncertain terms they definitely benefit from a break-in period.

Harbeth claims that their speakers will sound as good out of the box until their final day. No break in required. However, with my new Harbeth I noticed a distinct improvement after about 3-weeks. It surprised me actually because I did not plan on any burn period for them.

Sure, back in the day. They have not been around for how long now :)? Used to like Hafler, and other American kits, but not options any more. There are other American made high end gear, but they are certainly in the same price ranged as McIntosh. Schiit is a good alternative. Of course, in...

When I can is the key. I own McIntosh (although nothing is 100% made in America) they are about as close as it gets for electronics. But for speakers I have always preferred the Bristish designs/sound and Harbeth is about as British as you get.

Thank you... Hmmmm, I think you are referring to the Dyson fan :). It is used to help keep the room cool :P.

Thanks, I have always been a British speaker fan, and I love that Harbeth is carrying on that British sound tradition. I am very pleased with the Harbeth. I was trying them without the grills but decided to put them back on. Just a tad smoother and richer with the grills. I do know Harbeth...

Thank you

I did some updating to my humble little music room. Not much, just reconfigured a bit and I am selling the Technics table. I also got rid of a few guitars replacing them with others, so that my dreams are now what I choose from, in three distinctive sizes! Added a much better picture of the...

Pretty awesome room and system. Congratulations sir!

I get very good reception in our area, and I use the tuner occasionally. Especially for background. Honestly, I also like having it in my Mc Stack :).

I have had a McIntosh tuner in my stack for quite some time. I have also owned the Technics and a Magnum Dynalab. I believe that Mc and MD still offer tuners. I also use the MD ST-2 antenna which is a relatively inexpensive antenna that does a great job.

I am glad I never had any issues with the pieces I owned.

I have had a couple of their pieces in the past. A headphone amp was very nice but quite over the top expensive for what it offered. I also have had their phono amps. Their little guy might well be the best value around. I also had a higher model which was spectacular. I ended up moving on...

Sounds good. Congratz on the new house also.
