Phil, you know what sounds brilliant with Harbeth 5.

I am still besotted. :laughing:

…except none of those are acronyms :+1:

24

They are not well known yet and are difficult to pronounce.
There hardly is a proper well known TLA that I can think of without looking

TLA is reasonably well known to mean Three Letter Acronym isn’t it?

As Jim has pointed out (I think) technically speaking a three letter acronym is a word. I don’t think any of your examples are words.

Computer Aided Design as CAD is though.

Really TLA could be more accurate if it meant Three Letter Abbreviation

nope three letter abbreviation or acronym is the same thing and doesn’t have to be a word.

You are wrong and Jim correct.

Money not in it. Remember I had Lavardin IT15. - ÂŁ9200.
Unico much better.
May be that I have struck lucky with the synergy.

Seem to recall the Lavardin kit is relatively low powered so will depend on speakers a lot more.

anyone ever heard thrax stuff . made in bulgaria . at some point hope to have a play with one . heres the blurb on this enyo integrated

Features
ENYO features two pure tube power amplifiers developed from the ground up using our long experience designing tube circuits.
The amplifier is fully differential push pull design with a special cathode feedback ultra linear output stage.
In the design we use custom double C core output transformer of the highest quality and vibration proof military transmission pentodes.

according to one or two folks its rather special

38

Think they were using them to drive some Rosso Fiorentinos at Munich. Overall a rather decent sound. No idea how much each component was contributing what to it mind.

Pretty sure Paul Benge sells them.

39

yes been chatting to paul today about them , thrax gradually becoming more well known like grandinote but always exceedingly nervous of esoteric stuff that can be a nightmare to resell when you upgrade

40

I really liked the Thrax room at Munich when I went a couple of years back. Pricey kit though.
Ob at wintersaudio sells them I think.

41

yes i looked at his site but couldn`t see anything . hifi guy do them and yes it is pricy stuff .
