| Then and Now I have recently done a comparison of Then and Now. My Then system after selling off my Counterpoint NPS-400 due to repair needs is now the following- VAC CLA1 MKII Dual Mono Tubed Pre, An OPPO 93 (Replaced my Rotel 1072CDP) and an Odyssey Strato... | |
| integrated amp on a budget @runwell - I was not actually pointing out the one on ebay but the fact that there are several available in the OPs price range. I have been using one for 2 years now and it surprises me all the time. I do use the Separate mode as HT Bypass wi... | |
| integrated amp on a budget A used Luxman 505UXII will drive anything, has bells and whistles if you want to use them, HT Bypass, and first 6watts are Class A https://www.hifishark.com/model/luxman-l-505-ux | |
| Comparing Speaker Cables I just did a similar test by connecting sets of cables to A and B outputs and then to the speakers without removing jumpers. I am able to just flip the switch on the amp from A to B and back in real time and not disconnect and reconnect the cables... | |
| You own a store, you sell 2 brands, which? Luxman and FyneGood price points and performance at all levels | |
| What Integrated Amp do You use @emarcano I also have the 505UXII and love it. Pairs great with Fyne Audio. | |
| CD Player Recommendations… I recently replaced my Rotel 1072, which was a great workhorse and excellent sounding player, with the newer 1572. Aside from a few picky things, this player took my already awesome sounding system to a new level. | |
| What Integrated Amp do You use Another Luxman here. After many years of separates, VAC-Counterpoint and then VAC-Odyssey, I decided to simplify and also get some missing features like the killer Phono section.505UXII driving Fyne Audio F502SPs with ease and authority. | |
| My Fyne 702a Congrats on the Fynes. I took delivery of a pair of 502SPs earlier this year and have been thrilled with them. They did change several times during breakin and after a few hundred hours they settled in nicely.Lively, killer bass, lots of detail an... | |
| VAC preamps - too expensive? I am late to the party, but have owned a VAC CLA1 MKII Dual Mono Pre Amp for many years. I am the second owner and other than Tubes, it has been in use and sounding fantastic for many years. It now resides in System 2. I believe it was around $450... | |
| What tracks offer the best left right separation? Most old Allman Brothers have a different Drummer in each speaker. | |
| Integrated Amp Choices I have the Luxman 505UXII. It is amazing! I am driving Fyne Audio F502SPs with ease and control. The Phono section alone is worth it and probably cannot be beat for less than $1200. It has HT Bypass, Tone controls and Loudness if desired (I don't ... | |
| TANNOY will stop Hi-FI ? @yogiboy The 501SP and 502SPs are both also made in Scotland, not China. The ones made in Scotland are works of art. The veneer used are consecutive slices so both speakers look identical as much as two slices can be. They are built as a matched p... | |
| TANNOY will stop Hi-FI ? I can tell you that the new Fynes are awesome. I have had a pair of 502SPs for 3 months now and they are just fabulous. So different than what I was used to but in good ways. Vocals are lifelike, Bass is deep and extended with good resonance of st... | |
| Fyne Audio - Anyone heard lf it? I have had the 502SPs for a few months now and they are awesome. Mike at Suncoast made it happen. |
