| Need new speakers to pair with my Luxman MQ88uc amp Actually $3600. They’re demos a friend of mine is selling. That’s good feedback. Would like some bass without adding subs. Mids and imaging are good! Thx. | |
| Feedback requested on new speakers to pair with my Luxman MQ88uc tube amp The DeVore’s 96 or 93 definitely on the top of my list for this amp but not quite there with the budget. Hopefully, next purchase. Thanks for the feedback on the 4 ohm speakers. Definitely something to consider. There are a pair of Valencia A’s in... | |
| Best turntable under $4000 I’ve had a few > $4K turntables in my day. Some mentioned here and all of them good. I moved on just to experience something new. I sold a 1200G to buy my current table, a Luxman PD 171. The 1200G is certainly a nice table. Very stable speed, e... | |
| Denon DL-302 rebuild thoughts So, boron with microridge stylus the way to go with this cart rebuild? | |
| Denon DL-302 rebuild thoughts I have a Ortofon Cadenza Black I feel I set up pretty good and have the tools to handle it. What sonic advantages are there with the micro-ridge with the aluminum vs. the boron cantilever with this level of cart? There is a $150 price difference ... | |
| Denon DL-302 rebuild thoughts Thanks for the input JasonBourne52. @normansizemore you didn’t mention which canti/stylus combo you think might sound best on the 302? | |
| Best place to insert a new higher end cable in my system? To clarify, when we say source are you all saying try with a particular source or my most used source like my Sony HAP server/streamer? AQ seems to be a polarizing brand but they’ve served me well. I will say that I bought two sets of Nordost s... | |
| Best place to insert a new higher end cable in my system? Thanks to everyone for your feedback. I will certainly start from my source to my preamp and go from there. I had done searches before on best type of IC to use from your amp and couldn’t find anything conclusive but from this thread it appears, i... | |
| Amp matching with high sensitivity speakers Thanks @Mulveling for the explanation! That could explain some hum concerns I experience when moving interconnects and components in and out. The gain for the Levinson is 26db. The gain from my Audible Illusions L3A is 30dB which seems quite a bit... | |
| Amp matching with high sensitivity speakers Sounds like I have some options for amps for these speakers, which is what I was hoping for. I will say things don’t sound of out whack with my 300 watt Levinson, which many would consider over kill for these speakers but it’s what I have right no... | |
| Amp matching with high sensitivity speakers Hey @carlsbad, I would like to find a low cost, low powered to experiment with and appreciate you suggesting the Sophia Baby Tube amp. Do you know if it has a line level input? I need to have a remote and if I can hook my preamp to it that would ... | |
| For B&Wers: How would 803 D2’s compare to Nautilus 802’s? Need to make a decision soon about moving on from my 803 D2’s for the older Nautilus 802’s. Any additional feedback? Thx. | |
| For B&Wers: How would 803 D2’s compare to Nautilus 802’s? @james633 Thanks for your feedback. What you say about the 802 D2’s is what I was thinking I could experience from the Nautilus 802’s but guess the technology advanced that much with the diamond series? Have been avoiding the sub route but open to... | |
| Looking for a new DAC streamer/server combo *I was referring to the Denafrips brand. | |
| Looking for a new DAC streamer/server combo “can't suggest a clear path except for maybe lose the B & Ws” That’s a possibility but that’s another thread. Plus, not sure I can better them for what I’ll get for them. They do sound good with well recorded music such as jazz but with the r... |
