| New Luxman 507Z Integrated coming in October. Thanks for the heads up! I wonder if this will be the new entry level unit? I have a 505UXii which I love. Are they going to update the other integrated amps? | |
| American Audio Honorable mentions: Bel Canto, VPI, Modwright, Linear Tube Audio. Good stuff! | |
| Aged components / service!? I have a Denon integrated amp in my second system from the mid-80s (still working) but some of the lights were burned out and I had some static noise on the volume control. I found a certified Denon service shop about 2 hours away from my home. I ... | |
| Poor Customer Service As much as I would love to buy from my local hifi store, I have had more bad experiences in the store while just browsing that I haven't been back. I'm not about to drop my hard earned money in a store where the employees give major attitude. I've... | |
| High end high quality int. amp for low level listening I would also recommend the Luxman 505/507 will do the trick. | |
| How can i improve the sound of Iphone 11? I have a PS Audio Dectet conditioner and I've been happy with it so far. It also helps with power surges. | |

| Peachtree GaN 400 vs Class D Audio Mini GAN 5 Great review--Darko did a review of the GaN400 this week on YouTube. Sounds really interesting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2zonVUcyhQ&t=1088s | |
| Helping a friend build a new system I love helping a friend build a system. How about a Yamaha integrated amp (A-S1200)---it has a phono stage and headphone jack included for $2500. It comes in silver or black It shouldn’t get hot (class A/B) which is good for that room size. There’... | |
| Amp recommendation -- McIntosh, Luxman, Yamaha Either the Luxman 505UXii or 507UXii. I own the 505UXii and highly recommend it---it has everything you want. Great remote as well with loudness button. Good luck!! | |
| My stereo is haunted!! I don't have a suggestion but I can relate to the issue because I had a very similar system with annoying sounds. I also had a Modwright Anniversary Ed. preamp like yours with a Bel Canto REF500s amp and Dynaudio Special 40s. I would always hear f... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? New 180g copy of OMD's 1993 album 'Liberator' | |
| Let’s make this a better community!? With a follow up! Totally agree. I've had high end audio for many years and I still get confused by certain specs---especially DACs. Clarity definitely helps. | |
| What is wrong with my system? Many great suggestions here. I agree with trying 'no cost' or the cheapest changes first like room placement, etc. As for cables (which could be the issue), check out the Cable Company (www.thecableco.com). They have a lending library where you ca... | |
| Should I try XLR? @sbank yes---thank you for that explanation. I'm currently looking for CD/streamers that have XLR outputs. The Technics SL G700 has some good specs and reviews. |
