Who says cables don't make a difference?
Hi boxer12, yup, makes me smile whenever I have the time to get into it. 
Harbeth 30.1 or 40.1
I have a pair of Harbeth 30.2s in a room about the same size as yours. I use a Line Magnetic Premium 845 amp. The bass is silly good for a stand mount speaker. I took a pair of nice subs (Axiom EP500s) out of the system. Didn't need them. The midr...

Line Magnetic quality
I got a Line Magnetic 845 Premium from Mike Rose at Excel Audio, Newport Beach. I think it came with Shuguang tubes and sounded great driving a pair of Harbeth 30.2 Anniversaries. I swapped the 12ax7s for some NOS 1965 Amperex Bugle Boys. Made it ... 
Interesting HDMI Problem: OPPO UDP-205
I have been struggling with my Oppo UDP205, Sony XBR75 940d, and Marantz 8805. At first, I could watch 4K Blu-Ray discs but when I tried to play an SACD it would play for a few minutes and then stop. Then, the same problem started with 4K discs. I...
