| The Disappearing Act All starts with recording engineers who understand microphones, positioning of players and their mics, room acoustics and a myriad of other contributory elements. Each step contributes and the masters understand that. Rudy Van Gelder studios had... | |
| ATC SCM40A speakers admranger I do not know your particular amp, but I do know ATC transducers. They can be quite demanding and particular, wringing the life out of respectable power. I’ve a pair of SCM 20s run by a Luxman 509X and they need all of it. 125 wpc ... | |
| Retirement integrated amp for a “fiscal conservative” Yes, we'll actually nod to the Celts of GB, but appreciate the pickup. Radiology contracts near Boston allowed several visits....by "T" and pedestrian. Driving amongst "Mass-holes" is a death wish. Enjoyed my time touristing. | |
| Retirement integrated amp for a “fiscal conservative” Sugden, Luxman or Accuphase. Many come around to that conclusion. I've owned, appreciated and enjoyed immensely several high end tubed components over decades. All American handmade; Manley, VTL, De Havilland. In the end I tired of the tube c... | |
| Is the microwave the perfect model for audio marketting? Summation is that design engineers are mostly daft. They solve problems exclusionary of end user. It made sense to the design team, so good enough. Beta testing is expensive/time consuming and therefore summarily shunned. Take 100 end users, ex... | |
| CD player recommendation with good built in dac under 1k new or used? please and thanks Used Rega Apollo R gets it done. Better transport than player, but as a player solid enough. Have owned several of them with no problems. Currently run one through a Mojo Audio Mystiqué 3, Luxman 509X and ATC SCM 20 monitors and it's a really g... | |
| Downsizing from tower to bookshelf jallan +1 I’ve owned/owned 4 different models of ATC transducers to include SCM 7s and SCM 20s. I will encourage well engineered high current amplification. Seems too often users see a smaller transducer and apply a smaller amp. Wrong! These ar... | |

| Luxman 509x VS Luxman 509Z Some here live deep into this hobby and you’ve really given nothing tangible regarding a system. One of my several integrated amps is the 509X. It is loved and fed well, surrounded by great pieces allowing peak performance. We’ve nothing to wor... | |
| The End of My Search for a Power Conditioner Yes, Puritan PSM 156 substantially improves all aspects. Check ALL of the boxes. It is all greatly improved by replacing the stock 20A cord. Furutech 4.1 with Furutech connectors will do the trick. Best of luck. Cheers | |
| Gato speakers Yes, I know, older post. But what am I missing here? Gato website states price is per pair for some wall mounted. What price? Besides, most everything is Out of Stock. Great. No price. Out of Stock. Yeah, I'm there. | |
| Current or Previous Harbeth Owners… I do not know your Harbeths, but become increasingly convinced there is so much to improve upon in front of any transducer in the way of not only equipment, but power conditioning and cabling. My transducers (3 years now) continue to improve mark... | |
| ATC active vs. passive https://partsconnexion.com/speaker-bulk-cable/ For not much money, I believe you can improve your lot. Also, dpac996 is correct with the Furutech DSP 4.1 recommendation. Cheers | |
