| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC Thank you mod staff for removing the rather offensive , hate charged and genuinely hostile reply from a member, whose name will remain unpublicized. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @jjss49 Correct on the Gustard r26. One takeaway from today"s audio meet up was the discussion we had on the shockingly good QPR with the r26. Credit goes where it is due in that respect. Currently, now with Chifi (as you call it) confidence at i... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC Just this morning in our Saturday audio club meet we demoed 4 dacs (all Chinese designed and manufactured), the Denafrips Venus, Musetec mh005, Gustard r26 and the Martix aAudio X Sabre. There were a total of 8 people in attendance , all assigning... | |
| Fee for home audition 5% of purchase price is what the folks over at The Cable Co charge and will apply the rental fee towards any future cable purchase. Quite a good deal all in all. On the other side of the fair pricing spectrum is Todd the Vinyl Junkie who charges ... | |
| Luxman 509x vs Hegel H390 Just some updates on the recent Luxman 509x purchase. In addition to the most rewarding musical communication and deeply satisfying sound quality, the 509x has the highest WAF of all the audio components owned thus far. Something so reassuring abo... | |
| Esoteric F-07 Integrated Amp Owner Feedback Getting that bit closer to making the final decision on the F-07. Price will be somewhat lower than the $5.5 K original asking price. So, at $4.75 K to $5 K , the amp will likely be making it's way to me. I believe after the Luxman 509x purchase,... | |
| Esoteric F-07 Integrated Amp Owner Feedback Just glanced through the Tone Audio review and positive praise for the F-07 is in no short supply there. Although, hitting on some areas yet never elaborating in maybe a bit more fuller detail , which would have been nice. Still, a resounding favo... | |
| Luxman 509x vs Hegel H390 Some additional points : Seller on ebay, 100% + feedback , will provide the step up transformer free of charge in the order. The magic of this hobby is when one is inundated with listening tests and reviews coming at you from all the major publi... | |
| Luxman 509x vs Hegel H390 The hegel 390 proved non agreeable on many fronts with further analysis. What are they trying to achieve with these looks , then the overly man handled sound , did they think the 250 w over 8ohm would somehow dazzle the masses ?? The Lux 509 on t... | |
| Luxman 509x vs Hegel H390 Correction : make that the L-509-x. Made in Japan & ordered from Japan in new condition. Could not be any happier. | |
| Luxman 509x vs Hegel H390 After much consideration , carefully weighed with input from everyone here in mind.. The final nod went to the Luxman 509uxii . The more one looked at the Hegel , it became clear the aesthetic shortcomings not to mention the rather "heavy dense if... | |
| Luxman 509x vs Hegel H390 The Luxamas, both the 507 and 509 are just a feast for the eyes. With either the blue tone of the display on the 507 or the plain white on the 509 being so visually appealing. Did Hegel take the Scandinavian prosaic minimalist approach in black a... | |
| Luxman 509x vs Hegel H390 If only Hegel made the H390 in Silver , might go some ways to reduce trade ins as aesthetics is a serious consideration at this price point. The Luxman 509x is veritable tank construction and at 63 lbs, would need to check rack shelves can handle ... | |
| Luxman 509x vs Hegel H390 Good input guys. For comparison purposes with the Lux and Hegel , listened to some demos with the Moon Audio 600i V2 & although spatially more expansive, it just does not have the smooth sweetness of note contours displayed by the others. In f... | |
| Luxman 509x vs Hegel H390 Erik _s, I see you have/had the 507 at one time. Just how was it with transparency and more importantly spatial presentation of the instruments/vocals including the palpable air in the recording venue. This particular aspect to the sound would be... |
