Shiny brand new second hand things in my system today

Takes a lot of chops to tell Porkies like that.

been on verge of selling harbs recently but playing the thrax with them is pretty mindblowing , we heard the more expensive models at the bristol show but pretty insipid compared to this combo .

there were some kudos 606 really kicking some bass at the show and the harbs sound like them playing bliss mantavara [quiet letters ] .

damm shame its bulgarian as i would have a nervous breakdown having to send it back for repair but by golly its very very tempting

I don’t understand- what do you think the Thrax can do that your MSB can’t?

From Syed?

Same place as my speakers if so

Nope a cheaper one from 2nd hand hifi, 5 levels, which is what I need.

I had one once - certainly nicely made.

the msb the combo does give lovely soundstage and sounds good but the thrax has huge bass and clarity . you would have to hear it to believe it . having a couple of folks over sun pm to listen so we shall see what they think

on reflection i think the bass is possibly a bit too much of a good thing with the thrax and the msb combo is more balanced sound . it certainly sounded sublime with every other speaker i have had

That’s Hey Duggee if I’m not mistaken :face_with_monocle:

What’s worse than one mistake? Making two. It’s a classic audiophile conceit to imagine that the way to fix a problematic set up is by spending big on another component that will fix the original issue.

  1. Go back to basics. Select a speaker that works properly in your room. Then match that with an amp that gets the best out of it.

  2. Stop chopping and changing - trial and expensive error is not the best approach

You had speakers that worked in your room really well, probably as good as you’re gonna get - the Rienzis, but you sold them, and while you had them you were fantasising about what the larger Verity might sound like :man_facepalming:

Go and buy them back if you can…

Can it be treated on the NHS?:stuck_out_tongue:

Not on the NHS. Private treatment is available to beat this silliness out of you though

Looks like a night out with bmtell to me

Pure Sound P10, despite the rather austere looks it sounds bloody good, with a nice foo’y Reflector 6n23 and Telefunken 12ax7 it has a massive dynamic range and a nice warm but detailed sound.

Very pleasantly surprised by this given the price.
