| Leben CS 600 and Harbeth vs Audio Note vs ATC vs JM Reynaud Years ago I had a pair of Reynaud Emeraud’s with a VAC Avatar and the combination was great. The Avatar has the option to listening at 27 watts triode or 60 in ultra linear. I remember them playing well with most music with triode but to really ... | |
| Bookself speaker for Luxman 590 axII The Luxman he is referring to has pre out and also PRE IN to use it as an amp only. I think he means has anyone used it as an amp with a different pre. | |
| Lyngdorf TDAI-3400 My intention on posting was not to single out any users of this thread, owners, designers, etc. I am an ordinary listener with less experience than many people here, but I have traded in excess of $150,000 in gear, live near and travel to cities f... | |
| Lyngdorf TDAI-3400 Martin- I would not jump into a Lyngdorf without listening to one for a while. I found the 2170 to be dull and defenseless among amps of similar value from Leben, Luxman, VAC, SPEC, and many others. In my opinion (only been at this for 20 years ... | |
| Going to try a tube integrated. If your speaker is not easy to drive you might find yourself listening to the music that sounds best through your systems and neglecting other selections. There is nothing wrong with this but could be indicate an imbalance. This is something I’v... | |
| Double blind test- over a month- could this be a reliable test for any equipment? Geoffkait,I think you are right. Ozzy Osbourne remained focused when he was biting those bat heads off.I've had my kids switch my Nordost QX4 on and off randomly and I can tell the difference with certain passages. | |
| Speaker Bass Port Bungs I found a set from a pair of Verity Finn Speakers I owned years ago. What size are the ports on your speakers? | |
| Proac Ribbon Tweeters Damaged Growing up we had a large with room with McIntosh gear and a pair of ADS 910 speakers. When I played music too loud, with the loudness or the bass up too high on the C28 preamp, the 910 tweeter fuse would blow. Looking back, my father was quite ... | |
| Who are some of elite sub woofers? I like my Rel Stadium 3. I had to have the amp rebuilt (probably about 15 years old and I’ve owned it for 8). Sounds better to me than the S/3 I bought and used while it was gone. | |
| What responsibility does a seller have to tell a customer an item has been serviced? Elizabeth- LOL would you suggest neon lights?One thing to keep in mind is that this is a hobby for most people on these forums, but serious business for others. As a hobbyist I'll pay extra to funnel through a few amps to find the right one, or s... | |
| Used Market Savings vs. The Dealer Experience Part of the hobby for me has always been experimenting with different amps, speakers, etc. in my own home. I helped a dealer with setup for a few years and was fortunate to be paid gear instead of cash (side work with benefits). That and buying ... | |
| Luxman Integrated - What do they sound like I’ll give this a try after owning a 590AII with Verity speakers and a 550AX with Devore speakers.Warm side of neutral, bit of golden hue to the music.Very clean and clear at low and mid volumes but not the best at higher volumes. I always detected... | |
| ***Going Insane***End Game Speakers***Harbeth Verity or Living Voice*** I can’t speak for the other two speakers but in my opinion the verity line really starts to get good at the Parsifal level. Over the years I’ve owned the Tamino Finn and Parsifal Encore. | |
| Roon Nucleus If someone could please tell me if I am missing something with Roon search or history. I have multiple artist with names a tad different, we all do. If I search Michael Kiwanuka for example, every letter of his last name needs to be perfect and ... | |
| The Future of Audio Amplification I recently tried two class d amps in my own home, I do every five or so years. One was made by a small Japanese company, and remarkably good, but as the week went on, I turned it on less an less. The second was also interesting with more feature... |
