Luxman 590AX II Break-In
Wow!  A 40 kilo DAC.  Cool.  I run the Luxman 509X on some demanding ATC 20s and it is still breaking in after 100 hours.  I can read, you are beyond that.   Your pieces are in order.  Cabling and power conditioning not mentioned.  One can only a... 
I feel so inadequate after seeing this guy.
Artie Shaw was for years a nationally ranked match shooter.  Some might find that off-center.  Christopher Parkening, the great classical guitarist, was a ranked fly fisherman for many years and held masters classes in the sport in Montana.  It go... 
Review ATC SCM20PSL monitors 50 hours listening
dz13    No.  Same interests in mentioned artists or really good equipment?  I've difficulties meshing the two.

Room is a decently sized bedroom, so would say 12X20.  I’m on the road currently or I would measure it.  Strongly recommend really solid high current power and respectable front end.  The ATCs will chew up weaker offerings of unstable power. Enjoy.

Distortion is an interesting thing.  Leaving transducers aside, segue to amplifiers.  It is inarguable that tube gear amplification carries far more distortion than solid state amplification.  Yet, how many swoon, defend and tout the benefits of t... 
Please, what DAC is this?
Thanks for the responses.  A picture really is worth a thousand words as this would be solved in 5 seconds.  I'll call off the search.  It's not a Zanden.  Thank you all.  Cheers  
Please, what DAC is this?
The prize is feeling superior to my intellect.  It has a BNC connector, L/R RCA out and of course IEEC power connector.  It's normal in that manner.  Thanks  
3 Level, 40-44" wide, Well built for Isolation-Gear Stand-Where/Who?
Not currently in your price range new at 3K, perhaps used when found.  You've invested a chunk of change in your system, I would propose this as more a component than simply a stand.  I run this and the Reference X and can attest they are immediat... 
Advice for RCA Interconnect Upgrade?
Decware.  Steve has a simple approach and designs well.  
Zavfino OCC SILVER DART 1.5 power cable
+ whatever cleeds  I've a full loom of the Zavfino Prima and love them.  They replaced Cullen Crossover II PCs which are quite good.  The Prima, more expensive than Cullens, providing improvement in detail, attack and soundstage.  The bass detail ... 
Luxman 595ASE
Great!  Got my wife the Luxman 509X.  I love it too, but because it's shiny, has large bright meters with bouncy needles.  It sounds terrific and I'm easily entertained by the aforementioned qualities.

To couple, or not to couple, that is the question
grannyring   Walked the IsoAcoustics Gaia l footers road and they were great.  Moved to Townshend Podiums and even better at a much higher price.  Speakers are ATC 50 actives, so they are back heavy with the tri-pack of amplifiers.  The podiums ar...
