Luxman leaves me wanting
+1 on Pass recommendation.  Int60 should be a nice pairing.

I always thought the Devilles were birdhouses. Now I know what they are - they’re dybbuk boxes.

🤤 tempting but not quiet there yet….  
Herron HL-1 Preamplifier, Solid State; Herron still in business? Thoughts about sound?
@hilde45 no, you can’t find XP12 for under 1k.

Fleetwood Deville vs Wilson Sound
Have you had nails for breakfast? You just can’t seem to be able to cool it. I haven’t seen this much hate pouring out of anyone in a while. You’re like an energizer bunny. Chillax. None of this is healthy. I get it…you really dislike Wilson Audio...

What is going on here? Streamer or DAC?
@tomaswv Maybe one every few weeks/months, gets stuck repeating one note sort of like a damaged record. When this happens, no control via remote or the unit itself. Have to unplug to get it to stop. Sometimes it self corrects when plugging back...

@hilde45 Pass XP-12 came to mind based on your description. I know you’re asking about Heron so just a thought….
