Hey Jen, am interested to know what made you ditch the Dali floorstanders in favor of the Harbeth bookshelves?

...a good friend of mine upgraded...i never really ditched it...because i plan to get another one soon...it's just that the Harbeth experience is an entirely different experience...Thanks!

If you're in Cebu, try to visit Sounds and Images and you'll hear (and see) what i mean...also, if you're in Davao, feel free to text me and visit me so that i'll let you listen to my system...hard to describe BUT the Harbeth sound is very natural, i cannot find any fault...balanced and natural

Superman · « **Reply #545 on:** Jan 24, 2008 at 04:24 PM »

...if and when i'll have the chance to upgrade, it would still be a harbeth, probably similar to this:

...either a Harbeth Monitor 30 or Super HL-5

RU9 · « **Reply #546 on:** Jan 24, 2008 at 04:35 PM »

i will be happy with this

The Harbeth Compact 7ES-3 Loudspeaker

Jen, do you have an idea of the price?

Thanks.

Louie

I've always wanted to visit Ferdie's shop but everytime I'm in Cebu (which is quite often) I can't seem to have enough time. Anyway congrats on your nice new gear. I especially like the VPI.

Not sure, i think about P165,000.00 thereabouts...I am also considering this as a friend overseas is planning to upgrade to the Super HL5...who knows, if i get the right opportunity, i'll sell mine

The Analog Source · « **Reply #549 on:** Jan 25, 2008 at 08:22 AM »

i saw a vpi like yours with upgraded arm.... its a air suspension linear tracking arm... mahina lang ako sa mga names... pero ang sarap ng tunog.....

Superman · « **Reply #550 on:** Jan 25, 2008 at 09:06 AM »

If that's Philip's (Jadis) then you are right...he is using an ET linear tracker...i am supposed to get one...actually on standby lang yung seller waiting for my go signal
