| 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... | |
| 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. | |
| Review ATC SCM20PSL monitors 50 hours listening 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. | |
| Review ATC SCM20PSL monitors 50 hours listening 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... |
