| Luxman L-590AXII vs Pass Labs INT-60 @ryder -- I'm in the same boat as you. When I was in the process of auditioning amps, Luxman 590AXII and Pass Labs INT-60 were the top contenders. I ended up going with the Luxman because of all the amps I was able to audition, the 590AXII ticked ... | |

| Best or Most Interesting Speakers Thanks for the update. So I'm assuming you prefer AMT3SE over the DAC in your Krell. Happy listening!!! | |
| Streaming Sound Quality - Want the very best sound quality? Network Acoustics ENO... @grannyring I see that you also have an English Electric 8Switch in the chain, which I'm assuming was added prior to the ENO. I was just wondering whether you noticed any noticeable improvement in SQ when you first added the 8switch. If yes, how w... | |

| Sound Quality of red book CDs vs.streaming I hope I don't come off as a show off, but a few months ago I went to an audio dealer, wrote a check for $95000, got pissed at something the dealer said, and set fire to that $95000 right in front of the dealer. That's just how I roll.In the last ... | |
| Parasound newclassic 200 pre or a Halo P 5? OP: I had a Parasound P5 a few years ago. I think back then they didn't use the word 'halo' in the model name but I could be wrong. I used it with Parasound A21 and for the price it sounded really good -- balanced from top to bottom, a bit on the ... | |
| Sound Quality of red book CDs vs.streaming "That riled me, but I held my temper as I asked, “What’s the matter with you?” He bellowed: “There’s nothing the matter with me. It’s you! You’re crazy if you think this fool contraption you’ve been wasting your time on will ever displace the hors... | |

You know that there’s real substance behind the accolades and not merely newbie exuberance. Very well written review indeed!I want to give a shout out to the owner (Ri... | |
| Recommendations for modern integrated with tone & balance controls other than Mcintosh OP: Regarding Anthem, their target market is home theater. In that particular segment they stand head and shoulders above the likes Yamaha, Marantz or Denon. But when it comes to 2 channel music, I'd keep walking past it. | |
| Recommendations for modern integrated with tone & balance controls other than Mcintosh @builder3 Then you should be using the ’quietness’ control, silly wabbit. I hear ya, but that's what Luxman calls it. I'll remember to ask them in person next time I visit Japan. Will let you know asap :) | |
| Best or Most Interesting Speakers @yyzsantabarbara Thanks for the details. If anything, makes for an interesting read chronicling your journey from someone who didn't care much for headphone listening not that long ago to someone who is now exploring possibly the outermost limits... | |
| Recommendations for modern integrated with tone & balance controls other than Mcintosh Great suggestion! I’m listening to one right now as I type. I’m using the ‘loudness’ control since everyone else is asleep. | |
