JC1 or JC1+ ? Be sure to use only in high bias mode (25W Class A), the + models were really dressed better. Upgraded internal wiring better binding posts, slight changes to front panel/rear panel and power increase with beefier power supplies (transformer/caps).

I currently own 2 models in the Harbeth range namely the 40th Anniversary SHL5+ and M30.1's (which I bought twice) and briefly owned the P3ESR and demoed the P3ESR-XD against it. (thanks to Mike / Thelisteningroom) The P3ESR can perhaps be seen as evolution of the LS3/5a with the involvement of...

A easy to drive bookshelf that doesn't have any surprises in its impedance curve is a must to prevent any sometimes benign soft clipping and this mostly means sacrificed sensitivity to still have a wide as possible usable frequency response. Add to the your budget the purchase of a set of...

Although it doesn't have a MC/MM phono input consider my Freya+ that is on offer. Sure it will need you to still get an phono stage it allows it not be tied to a one brand solution and not sure what your budget is. see : https://www.avforums.co.za/index.php/topic,94971.0.html

If you are talking about the Maggie low frequency drivers or Quassi drivers they have a pop rivet in the center to keep their excursion in check much like the spider or a voice coil driver. These limits can quickly be reached with the older bottom range models. When reached they do not make...

The cable is merely an adaptor, one needs to add your balanced XLR to the end as a normal XLR output. Unit does MQA hardware unfold also.

Niemand.JP See my for sale ad for a Khadas Tone 2 Pro with balanced cables/output. https://www.avforums.co.za/index.php/topic,97963.msg1086548.html#msg1086548

Hope your kickstarter experience is better than mine, Kickstarter does not ensure you actually receive the item you are backing and the project creators also under no legal obligation for a refund. $ 330 dollars down the drain 7 years ago for this very reason. And if electronics these are...

Chivas Welcome, which model Harbeth do you own?

A CM4 compute module and Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 IO Board can also be used. They can be obtained for not much more than Pi boards have been selling (increase due to shortages). I advertised one with the Khadas Tone 2 Pro in classifieds.

This may exclude Manley amps so perhaps only consider those with 5ohms output transformers. :giggle:

wilhelm Dogs could bark about replying to an old thread (@mods) The Predator is what is considered a hybrid amplifier, only the input stage uses tubes that typically have thousands of hours life which could mean good life for many years. Schalk would be able to advise being the maker and he...

A 7236 will also do what a 5998 can do. More power and drive.

I have also had the pops,clicks artifacts and it may be ROON and it's handling of MQA. Assume you are using ROON? Add resync delay of at least 500ms or delay when switching sample rate.

joffieb Is there a particular model you are focused on? Mike or Rodney (Cape) should be contact points.

Impedance between the conductors carrying D+ and D- are critical for the USB specification.  The power and ground lines needs cross sectional area, i.e the thicker the better. Additionally noise insulation and shielding is important so not just any 4 wire cable will make the best USB 2 audio...

The struggle between mood, mindset and expectations sometimes do detract from enjoyment. Some need music to calm others to aggrevate or excite.

The Pi 2 Design - Mercury Streamer (formerly CM4AES) also look very promising... https://www.pi2design.com/coming-soon.html

I wish my pair is there, lol (like button seems to be missing?)
