| Help us build our playlist for our next show in November! I'd love to see the final list you came up with! Could you post it here like you posted the previous list on Tidal? Thanks! | |
| Lumin U2 vs Aurender N200 I have a Lumin T2 with SBooster. I have found the dac inside of it sounds better than the dac2 in the McIntosh. I have read/heard that the dac2 in the McIntosh is on par with a standalone dac in the $1500 range. My test bed was Lumin into a Ma27... | |
| Quick Question About Power Cables I replaced the stock fuse in my Lumen T2 with a Synergistic Master fuse and the result was impressive and unmistakable. Much better soundstage and dynamics. Better bass too! Anyone who denies that tweaks work, hasn't tried them. All they do is sp... | |
| Lumin X1 and Upgraded DC umbilical cord for power supply. At present, I only have a Lumin T2, But I did upgrade to an SBooster power supply and after about a year I upgraded the stock fuse to a Synergistic Master fuse. I ran it for about 200 hours for break-in and then I flipped it the other direction. T... | |
| Is it still worth buying a Lumin x1 in 2023? Greetings, I currently own the T2 with an SBooster. I recently changed the fuse in the SBooster to a Synergistic Master fuse. I was Very impressed with the difference. Although a touchy topic, fuses do matter as does direction. I put the fuse in a... | |
| Can you give me your speaker suggestions? If you are handy, try GR Research speakers. I brought my speakers down for an upgrade and ended up purchasing their NX-Otica's. I listened to their big brother, the NX-Tremes and was totally blown away. I have listened to many high end systems and... | |
| The best speaker cables you’ve had Audioquest Bi-wire Bi-amp Oaks. Huge difference in sound quality over a double run of BlueJean 10 gauge wire. | |
| Speaker Cable Recommendations - Under 2k Buy used! I went from monster to Bi-wire BlueJean 10 gauge cables for my speaker wire. I then purchased AudioQuest Oak Bi-wire, Bi-amp cables. They were 6K retail and I got them for $1800. Huge difference in smoothness and balance. I am not sayi... | |
| New Synergistic Master Fuse The youtube demo was amazing. With 6 fuses in each amp, I am hard pressed to upgrade the fuses. I bypassed the fuses in my two amps and the results were no less than outstanding. The sound stage improvement was the first thing I noticed, but afte... | |
| Power cords: Anticable vs Mad Scientist I had AQ Monsoons and upgraded to the Anti-Cables. Much lower sound floor. After burning everything in through the Anti-Cable power cords and a AQ Niagara 1200, I had buyers remorse. I briefly unplugged everything and substituted decent shielded... | |
| Opinions on AR TSW-610 speakers? Greetings, I don't have the 610's, but I do own the 910"s. I like them very much! They are power hungry but I have had them in a side by side comparison with Paradigm speakers in the 35K range and I preferred the 910's. AR's were ahead of their t... | |
| Inexpensive speaker cables: any experience? I used monster cable, I then used a bi-amp bi-wire set up off using 10 gauge BlueJean speaker wire. There was definitely an improvement. I then bought AudioQuest Oak bi-wire/Bi-amp speaker cables and the sound totally changed. Much smoother, with ... | |
| Lumin vs Bricasti Volume Control Well, I got the Lumin T2 home yesterday and set it up to play directly into my two amps. I have the Sbooster standing by ready to be installed. I decided to give the T2 a run on it's own first. I experienced a much better soundstage and separation... | |
| Lumin vs Bricasti Volume Control I have just ordered a Lumin T2, with the SBooster and the Lumin Infrared Leedh volume control. I am planning on going direct to my two amps. I went with the remote because they " say " it's great and I didn't want to blow up my speakers! I should ... | |
| Advice needed on power cables, wall warts, conditioning, electrical outlet I am running Monsoon power cables and a Niagara 1200. I listened and decided to remove them all and replace with regular highly shielded " stock" cords. I was beyond shocked at how much the stock cords degraded the sound. Soundstage, and musical s... |
