| Compact ~20WPC Tube Amp I know they are mono blocks, but wow! Ran these for years and they are wonderful and quite small. Used would be about 4K. | |
| Please tell me the wait will be work it......my rack The only racks I've used and really work are Quadraspire. My latest is the SVT2 used in my wife's system. It completely cleaned up the smearing and provided more space between all vocals/instruments. Attack is much better with improvement in so... | |
| Are measurements the end all, be all? doye3433 You've the correct philosophy. Balance. Would you pick a mate, or boyfriend/girlfriend strictly off of specs? I think they're near fugly, veneer on side panels is gorgeous. But I'm not buying them. They may sound spectacular and a... | |
| Please, what DAC is this? Found it! Audio Sector DAC-1. Usually came mounted on a piece of wood naked. Found reference to it in one of my old posts. I know, nobody cares. Cheers | |
| Best sounding amp/preamp for Snell Type E/ll model speakers? Funny how your list is like a time machine. I sold Snell during that vintage. I owned that vintage B&K. We found most customers underpowered them and tried to get away with 60wpc like a Roberts. The Hafler 200 would run them fairly well an... | |
| Who says studio monitors are "cold and analytical"? SERENITY NOW! SERENITY NOW! I'll sidestep the toxic vortex of the Castanza clan. But thank you for the glimpse into a dysphoric existence. I already feel better about myself, flawed as my life may be. We all appreciate the positive constructi... | |
| Luxman 590AX II Break-In Perhaps SS Luxman Class A is not their thing. I've only run Sugden Class A and it was a bit bass shy, but not what you describe, the midrange was in order. As mentioned before, my Luxman 509X is a beast, but then 120wpc Class A/B. It drives ATC... | |
| Luxman 590AX II Break-In Echo Audio Portland, OR is big into the KEF line AND they recently sold me their Luxman 509X and they are really smart. Surely some valid constructive insight there. Phone 888.248.ECHO (3246) or 503.223.2292 / Email info@echohifi.com | |
| Who says studio monitors are "cold and analytical"? Savior Complex: Trying to change people: With the desire to be a savior, you might believe it’s within your power to fix or change people. You think you can improve their lives by changing their behavior. This strong tendency to want to chang... | |
| Toroidal Isolation Power Conditioner I'm listening at this very moment to this toroidal. https://www.decware.com/newsite/ZLC.html It is quite good and only recently replaced in my main system by a Puritan. | |
| Luxman 590AX II Break-In I refuse to give up on the Luxman. I know it's not rational, but I've never owned a Luxman I didn't like. I run the 509X and the system (with new monitors) is coming along. Just assembled a Quadraspire SVT2 equipment stand this afternoon, plac... | |
| Luxman L590AX vs.590AXii Agree with builder3 on his point. I justify often by the cost difference divided by years of use formula. Ex: $1200 price difference divided by 10 years of projected use. $10/month to have what I really want. Isn't rationalization great?! | |
| Review ATC SCM20PSL monitors 50 hours listening That was weird. The ATC SCM20PSL monitors now with 100 hrs. Better. Insert Quadraspire SVT equipment stand and quite suddenly huge improvement. Smearing removed allowing far better instrument/vocal attack, space between the aforementioned and ... | |
| Who says studio monitors are "cold and analytical"? And the wheels on the bus go 'round and 'round... Have not many of you owned enough equipment to fill an entire stereo store? Have you not enjoyed all of it? Some pieces more than others. Sure. Even your first love HK 330 receiver? It's sup... | |
| Luxman 590AX II Break-In What speaker cables? I ask because my Class A 30wpc Sugden A21SE (older version) is very cable dependent. It took some real experimenting to get something right. Finally settled on Decware Silver Stix. Duelund also worked. All others lacked b... |
