Luxman L505u . . . why not?
Toronto416,Thank you for your response. I figured Luxman wouldn't throw in a crappy headphone circuit. Any other experiences using headphones with your Luxman's? 
The best integrated amplifier
Check out Neodio NR600 Signature, Frech made, 100 watts, replaced a Air Tight300b/Joule Electra 300ME combo and have never looked back. 
Luxman L505u . . . why not?
Is anyone using the Headphone amp on your Luxman's? I am assuming it is pretty good. Any feedback would be appreciated. 
Rega Isis??
I have owned the Isis for about a year and it is a very analog sounding CDP. Certainly a keeper. Someone who I trust has compared the regular Isis with the newer valve model and he thinks the dynamics are considerable better with the solid state m... 
Review: Boulder 1060 Amplifier
Melbguy1,I really enjoyed reading your review. I am also looking at the 1060. BTW how does the 1060 compare to the Rowland? 
Best integrated Amp for Hansen Prince V2
Neodio NR600 Signature, it replaced some very expensive seperates. 
BEL 1001 amp...does it deserve the hype?
I owned one for about 12 years. It performed perfectly that whole time and the sound was fantastic. I have owned many highly rated SS & tube amps since and wish I had kept the BEL. It was that good. 
Review: Intuitive Design/Pitcher Sound Labs Summit PSL 624 Speaker
It has been almost a full year since I bought the Gammas and I am still blown away by these speakers. I have made some very nice upgrades to my system the last year which has taken my system to a new level of enjoyment. First I replaced my Ayon CD... 
Can the Harbeth 40.1's boggie ?????
Tvad,Good to finally read something from you, I was getting worried that you might have some health issue. I always enjoy your input. 
Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ?
Yes, the last one that I said I would never sell. Maybe my current amp! 
more sound in left channel than right channel?
Eldridge58,Please don't take this wrong but at my age (58) my hearing has diminished some to where my right ear hears about 75% what the left ear hears. I use the volume/balance control to compensate for my slight hearing loss in my left ear. If t... 
Used Focal Alto Utopia or New Focal 1038BE
Zszwedo,The Isis is awesome. You can't do much better at any price. 
Can any preamps for $2-3k touch Auregies-L?
Gopher,I have heard the torii 3 and it is quite and outstanding amp, what is it that you don't like soundwise with the Torii? Are you simply looking for a seperate preamp? The Supratek is also a great suggestion. 
Esoteric K03
If you had a lengthy audition you should have a pretty good handle on its sonic signature. I had the K03 in my system for a few days and found it had the typical digital glare that I could not live with. Built quality is top notch and should be tr... 
"Paper Airplane"
I also see AKUS in Portland a week ago & the performance was outstanding. Paper Airplane the recording might not be quite up to her others but the material in my opinion certainly is.
