Electronics for Harbeth, Especially Monitor 40 series
The best review of my Accuphase E-600 was done by someone with the Harbeth M40.1. The Accuphase is expensive but it's not over priced.  
Primaluna Dialogue Premium HP Driving PSB Imagine T2s
It will drive them but that doesn't translate into "you're going to love how it sounds".  Don't buy it until you hear the combination. Been there, done that (not with the Primaluna).  You bet everyone who owns one loves it. If you asked me the sam...

I would take the Wells Audio Majestic integrated over an Accuphase integrated any day of the week, and for a fraction of the price ($3599USD). ....spoken by someone who's never heard an Accuphase  E-600. I've heard both and can audition both for y... 
Why warm amps sound better.
This is hilarious. I'm 49 years old and both my parents recently passed away (okay, that's not funny). I was packing up stuff at their house and found about 50 of my old albums. One of them was Metal Church (the first release). Wow the memories th... 
RMAF 2016................Boenicke W5
I had to read some reviews before posting. Being an open minded individual and based on what I read, they seem to be priced appropriately. The way they're milled is rather impressive in itself. Thanks for sharing. 
Redbook Keeps Surprising
So jon2020, are you saying you plugged the JB into the back of your DAC and then the thumb drive into the JB and that was the superior sound?What do you use to rip your CD's if you don't mind me asking. I have a huge collection of cd's with new on... 
Sanity test before you start this hobby
Can you settle with mediocre? You should try because it doesn't get any better. My integrated amp is worth more than my 4 Runner. 
When and what was your last significant equipment upgrade?
July 2016 - Accuphase E600 bought as demo from authorized dealer with full warranty. I only mention that because some people do buy Japanese versions on eBay with step down transformers which is something I would never do. 
Headphone or Rig?
I have both. I guess my headphone situation is up to interpretation. I have AKG K702's with a Schitt Lyr and a custom cable made by Blue Jeans (does this sound correct? I never use it). As you can see, I never use it. The Lyr is in its original bo... 
Question for sub woofer users
My REL B3 took a week to get set up correctly and I've never touched it since (3 years) with the exception of connecting it to my new Accuphase. You would never know it's there besides the fact that it's big. I have to get on my hands and knees an... 
Norah Jones
I've had it a couple of weeks and I love it. I too am a huge fan of all her music and I'm pretty sure I have all of her music in my collection. 
Your single favorite component
My Accuphase E-600. I'm still shocked I own it and even more so when I'm listening to it.
