MY Place sbayneScott: Looking great! I think you've just jumped up another level with the addition of the Harbeths, they look fantastic with your setup. I bet they must sound very nice as well. Congrats! posted over 15 years ago | View comment | |
Happiness is a warm tube...Sakahara: yes the "audiophile" quality re-issues are quite tempting but expensive. I've got over 1000 albums but I've never paid $25-$50, the most I've paid is maybe $10. I buy them all u... posted over 15 years ago | View comment | |
Happiness is a warm tube...Nice system, would you ever consider analog? It would really bring out the nuances in the recordings and your other gear is certainly up to the task. posted over 15 years ago | View comment | |

A long way from Albuquerque...Rene, I didn't know the Piano was available on LP? It must sound very nice! Also how's the Horace Parlan? posted over 15 years ago | View comment | |
A long way from Albuquerque...Rene, thanks for pointing out that Inner World magazine to me, what a beautiful magazine! So I guess my wine tasting idea wasn't original after all :) I also love the pictures of the Beijing Centre... posted almost 16 years ago | View comment | |

A long way from Albuquerque...Bravo Rene! I've had the pleasure of listening to Rene's new gear recently and can say it has wonderful detail, texture and musicality. We were listening to Starker's Bach Cello Concerto the other ... posted almost 16 years ago | View comment | |
Shindo in the big room!I'm surprised that you don't have an analog system to go with such magnificent gear? A garrard 301 or Shindo TT would top it of nicely. posted almost 16 years ago | View comment | |

Shindo MagicThanks Chashmal, actually my room sucks. But I'm trying to make the best of it. Its in the basement, low 6' ceiling and open on one side. Nevertheless, you can hear fine musical details and the ric... posted about 16 years ago | View comment | |
Shindo MagicHi Pat, small world! Unfortunately I can't make it to Rene's but we'll definitely have to hook up some other time.Cheers posted about 16 years ago | View comment | |
Shindo MagicMusicfile, I like what you've done with the acoustic panels in your system. That grey wall at the back of my room actually doubles as a projector screen (Goo paint) for my HT, so I can't mount anyt... posted about 16 years ago | View comment | |
Shindo MagicScott, I think I've got 'em dialed in but the bass is still fairly lean. I think it may be a product of my room as it opens up to a hallway and staircase on the right side, so these little speakers... posted about 16 years ago | View comment | |

MY Place sbayneYour Garrard 301 is also a beautiful table. Matt also told me to forget about isolation devices, Shindo is voiced to work best on solid wood, so your timbernation rack seems perfect. If I had to ma... posted over 16 years ago | View comment | |
MY Place sbayneScott I love your system! I agree with your assessment of Matt at Pitch Perfect, top class guy to deal with. I notice that you have a Shindo Mr T. I'm considering this as well, but I understand tha... posted over 16 years ago | View comment | |
Shindo MagicAlthough the Harbeths are not that efficient either, they do have a very sweet mid-range. They excel with voice but when it comes to full range Mahler or the like they don't quite do it. I recently... posted over 16 years ago | View comment | |
