The demise of the Squeezebox Touch was unfortunate for audio enthusiasts since it had no competitors. No other manufacturer had anything with the ability to stream bit perfect up to 24bit/96kHz, with...

I wrote up some impressions a while back on the effect the Skylan stands had on the sound from my Harbeths here:

This thread piqued my interest, so I picked up a Wavelength Proton LiPo-powered USB DAC and a MacBook Air and walked around the house to the various systems I use to evaluate my amplifier builds.

What a fascinating topic and timely for me as I'm currently building some transmission line speakers! It's so nice to hear Alan's perspective on this. I will post to photos of mine when they're...

I remember you were having trouble with it, but there are so many possible ways to use it that I've forgotten what the specific issues were. Ours have been working perfectly for some 18 months now,...

I've just heard that Logitech has discontinued the entire Squeezebox line. What a loss for the audio community. What are the possible alternatives?

Sonos:
Sonos is popular, but their "Connect"...

I am happy to see this discussion on the Harbeth amp revived. As I read through the posts, this one from STHLS5 really struck me as interesting.

A subwoofer is something that would be a natural...

Flea-powered amps may seem crazy in today's world of cheap watts and inefficient speakers, but the right pairing is a beautiful thing. I've been building all kinds of amps lately: chip amps, mosfet...

Since we're talking Steely Dan, we should note that, while they were among the first to go digital, they went back to analogue for "Everything Must Go" and Fagen recorded "Morph the Cat" on analogue...

That's a beautiful amp, Paolo. Hard to imagine that it makes more than a whisper with the P3ESR, though! You must have really good hearing. I would love to have Harbeth speakers that have...

Hello Gianfranco - I use the Compact 7ES-3 with McIntosh C22 preamp and MC275 power amp and cannot imagine wanting to change the setup one bit. The one thing I fiddled with quite a bit initially was...

So hard to say, camel. So many variables are involved. You really need to try it for yourself. But these days, I think it's hard for any CD players to compete with an inexpensive computer and a...

My goodness, that is a beautiful Lenco. Did you have it restored?

Hi Spindrift-
Here is a shot of the back panel. The B&O ICEpower 125ASX2 supports single ended inputs via RCA jacks in stereo mode, but if you bridge the two channels ("BTL" mode), it supports a...

While the risk of something going with these particular modules is low, since they are supplied completely built from ICEpower, you can do serious damage to your speakers or even associated equipment...

Here are a pair of DIY Class D amplifiers that I just finished assembling. These are a good option for those of you who'd like to dabble a little in amp construction, but don't want to go to the...

Thanks Alan. Yes, you should certainly build your amp and share your impressions here. I plan to build a case for mine, but I do enjoy peoples' reactions to it as it is. No one can believe the...

I'm very pleased to see this thread on the Harbeth User Group. Building your own audio gear is a lot of fun and very rewarding. Believe it or not, with little more than a good multimeter, a...

I'll add my positive comments about the Squeezebox Touch to the chorus. It is a simply fantastic little device that has revolutionized the way we play music in our home. Let me emphasize just a few...

It's fascinating to see peoples' reactions to different audio reproduction systems. The other night, we had some friends over who were keen to do some listening. We had them listen to three...

Alan: That Studer 807 is beautiful. For good advice on where/how to have it serviced, I would send an email to Dan Schmalle, who is one of the Managing Directors of the Tape Project here in the...

The Yaqin 300B SET is not nearly enough for the Compact 7 at just 10W. It might be ok, as others have said, at very low volume levels, and I mean really low. I think Harbeth recommends...

This thread has been very informative for me, since lately I've become quite addicted to the sound of a small single ended 6L6 tube amp that I built, which produces only 9 watts per channel. We use...

I have not had a re-tip done by Soundsmith, but I am using their MMC2 cartridge on my old B&O turntable and we enjoy it in our family room system. Soundsmith is generally well-regarded. The...

Tubebooks.org has quite a few vintage audio books available for download as PDF files. Most of these are books published before 1964 that never had their copyrights renewed and have thus passed into...
