| Your thoughts on my plans.. kintama, welcome aboard. The only real thing you'll need to have to be here is thick skin. Beyond that, you've got it covered. I'd chime in, contrary to arcticdeth's advice, you do not need a 250-300 amp. If that were true, it would rule out 99% o... | |
| Recommendations for modern integrated with tone & balance controls other than Mcintosh I’ll point out that the L-590AX, even though advertised as Class A, and putting out 30W/channel into 8 ohms, etc, has been shown to put out closer to 90W/channel into 8 ohms, over 160W/channel into 4 ohms, and is presumably in fact a Class A/B amp... | |

I hear ya, but that's what Luxman calls it. I'll remember to ask them in person next time I visit Japan. Will let you know asap :)My Pio... | |
| 590axii in the house I wouldn’t rule out the Paradigm Persona 3F’s. I haven’t heard them, but am very happy with my S6’s. | |
| Recommendations for modern integrated with tone & balance controls other than Mcintosh arafiq491 posts02-16-2021 10:38pm..... I’m using the ‘loudness’ control since everyone else is asleep. Then you should be using the ’quietness’ control, silly wabbit. Another vote for the Luxman L-590AX. | |

| Dedicated power Very unreliable electric service? Thank you very much for this information, which I find "suspect". Good grief. Flooding has caused a lot of problems, depending on the severity. The solution, of course, would be to not allow anyone to live near an... | |

| Dedicated power ieales742 posts02-08-2021 11:32am................It's my contention that improvements heard after a 10ga rewire are largely due to direct clean connections and not the wire gauge. If rewiring for audio, go direct and only use screw terminals o... | |
| Luxman 171A turntable He doesn't have a Luxman integrated. His TT is plugged into a McIntosh C2600 Pre-amp, which has inputs for MM or MC cartridges. | |
| Has anybody bought or heard a Chinese knock off amplifier? Probably, if they're on the internet. | |
| Dedicated power I believe a sub-panel is required to have it's own grounding rod. One of the more knowledgeable guys will be along, hopefully, to confirm or not. | |
