Jun 13, 2003	Where can I get a Luxman receiver serviced? Doug Siegel Audio Specialties Portland, OR 503 257 3206. He has my Luxman 1120A right now and just finished a friend's 580 integrated.
Jun 13, 2003	what is a good sound stage suppose to sound like? Think soundstage is suspension of musicians and vocalists away from the transducers. The equipment falls away and leaves the experience as if you were in a club or in front of that large stage.
Jun 12, 2003	Tube Integrated What about the VTL 85 integrated for $1150 on the 'Gon. That's a great piece. Check into the new Kora integrated for $1,000 which could be a real sleeper.
Jun 08, 2003	do, mfsl, dcc or gold cds really sound better? Generally, these are superior. However, if the master tapes are bad to start with, not much can be done to improve. I have several mofi of jazz and have yet to be disappointed when comparing directly with the redbook copy.
Jun 08, 2003	source disappointment You need at least 2 weeks of listening to determine anything. Besides, the Audio Note can't be broken in by now and I'll bet it will come around be the unit you expected.

May 25, 2003	optical or coaxial audio cable? Experiment. I've found Toslink very superior to coaxial in one system using an Assemblage DAC. More open with cleaner bottom end. I use a Nordost XLR in another system. Good luck.

May 08, 2003	few questions about classic 70's recievers Luxman made the best sounding late 70s receivers with great tuner sections and musical amplification. Good luck.
May 06, 2003	Spica TC 50 Question s Something like Audioquest Type 6 or CV 6 will improve many things here including much better bass. I would also consider re-doing the crossover with better parts and rewiring internally. I've done a pair of TC-50s and the results were astounding. ...
