Ah~ My harbeth!!

Description

Harbeth is my main but I often switch to Maggie when I miss real-life-like sound stage and air of Maggie for Symphony and Chorus.

I recently replaced Cary V12 with Aleph 0 mono blocks. V12 had sweet sweet midrange but Aleph sounds also very musical with much kicks. Aleph mono blocks drive both speakers beautifully.

I am working on improving Phono sounds. I will probably add some isolation system (Ginko Cloud 10?) sometime soon.

I have not been upgrading digital gears for years as my serious listening has been all Vinyl.

Happy Listening!!

Latest changes:

Added Music Reference RM200

Added Ayre DAC QB9 running with jRiver.

jRiver looks and runs beautiful with Dell SX2210T touch screen monitor.
