| How to A/B Test Power Cables & Interconnects? Why not just have one circuit? There’s no load to speak of. A single run of 12 wire and whatever outlets and box you care to use should be more than adequate. On a separate note (and run this by a real electrician), I’m wondering if there’s any r... | |
| How to A/B Test Power Cables & Interconnects? robert, first, I’m not an electrician, so take anything I say with a grain of salt. That being said, I have been in residential construction for 30 years. I’m in the Pacific NW. I’ve never seen an electrician here use a metal box in a home without... | |
| How to A/B Test Power Cables & Interconnects? If you have a modern breaker panel in the U.S., all of your grounds are joined at a single bus bar in the panel, and then go to ground. If you have dedicated circuit(s) going directly to the panel, you shouldn't have any metal electric boxes for o... | |
| Amps with meters ... How do you know? | |
| Mcintosh vs Accuphase (with a Luxman special appearance) nineliwes25, you might consider used gear. I gave a bit over $4000 for my L-590AX, it was used, and looked new. That was close to two years ago, the prices should be even less with the introduction of the newer L-590AXII. Good luck I guess I shoul... | |
| What is wrong here.. on Audiogon? Well, one thread was tongue-in-cheek, and the other (yours) asked for specific information that most of us can't provide. Apples and oranges. Or did you want your request treated with the same lack of seriousness?? If that had happened, at least y... | |
| Amps with meters ... Everyone has their preferences. Life would be boring otherwise. Let the 'meter talk' sink in a bit. Now imagine building a custom home for a client... | |
| Amps with meters ... Don't know about every Luxman amp, but mine can be shut off. The lights, not the meter itself. | |
| Amps with meters ... .....amps with creamy off-white meters are best of all | |
| Need Help! My Class A Amp Is Running Very Hot We're cooking a roast tonight. How many kilowatts should it be? | |
| Need Help! My Class A Amp Is Running Very Hot OP, all amps are different, so don't be sidetracked too much by remarks about other products. As some above have recommended, I would first want to find out how hot your amp actually gets. Terms like 'hot', 'burning hot', etc, are all subjective.T... | |
| LUXMAN L509X VS M700/C700U My post up above, with the link to the Stereophile test is poorly worded. What I was trying to say is that the factory power specs for all of Luxman’s non-Class A amps reflect their true output, the 509, 507, 505, etc. The factory power specs for ... | |
| LUXMAN L509X VS M700/C700U Erik, I don’t think I made an inference. Every class A amp that I’ve looked at has only had the that specified, but has measured much more. Or were you referring to something else? What specifically did you ask about the 590? Thanks | |
| LUXMAN L509X VS M700/C700U Half the time that I say I’m done posting, I eat my words. Oh well. Erik, Luxman’s published power specs are confined to the Class A pieces, from what I’ve seen. The 505/07/09 are all A/B, and specified in a straight forward manner. The L-550 and ... | |
| LUXMAN L509X VS M700/C700U Erik, I appreciate the effort, but am still unconvinced of your conclusions. The first Luxman link you cite was provided by me, during one of the ever-recurring threads where people continue to talk about the lack of power in the L-590AX. And as I... |
