| Luxman L590AX vs.590AXii I have the 590AXii and love it. I plan on having it for the next 10 years if not more. Can’t compare it to the 1 for you, but I agree with @builder3 and @celtic66. I rationalized an expensive watch that way. Glad I did. | |
| Why are so many people spending so much money to build “perfect” streaming system? Another point, are you still listening to 78 records or have you upgraded to 33 1/3? Also, there’s these new things called CD’s that I hear sound better then records. You do have to buy new equipment. Streaming is just a new way to listen and the ... | |
| Why are so many people spending so much money to build “perfect” streaming system? Get a bluesound node. Easy to set up and use, good sound, and not at all expensive. Once you actually start to stream, you’ll get why all the fuss. From there you can decide if you want to spend big bucks to upgrade. And if not for some reason, yo... | |
| Why is everyone so down on MQA? I agree with the Dolby comparison, unless you have a ‘decoder’ MQA sounds about as good as MP3’s, if you can even play them at all ‘folded’. The MQA fees are just profit for the MQA ‘group’ and does not go to nor help musicians. I also agree that ... | |
| Custom Tuning Conspiracy There must be well over 300 brands and styles of speakers, not even counting brands that are no longer in business. If someone can’t be satisfied with such a wide range of products, then I fell sorry for them. And why does everything need to be ... | |
| Luxman 590AX II Break-In My 590II took only about 200 hours to really fill out. I love the way it sounds. I agree with others to play around with speaker placement, room treatment. I also found that music that has been compressed or poorly recorded sounds even worse with ... | |

| Seeking Constructive Equipment Ideas I agree with @blisshifi , listen if you can to a few speakers. Based on what you listen too, Totems, KEF's (pricey compared to what?), B&W's and Harbeth, you can check out the new KLH's. I have a small room, so having the port in the back of ... | |
| McIntosh MC1.25KW vs Luxman M-10X Your speaker has a "High-Velocity Folded Ribbon (HVFR) tweeter." you proved my point - unless you don't like the sound of your own system. Glad to see you agree with me. And you still haven't given the OP any useful opinion or advice. I gave my... | |
| Aurender N10 display issue I have never had the problem on my Aurender, the colors match the album covers. I would also ask Aurender, they have been very helpful to me on other questions I had. One idea, it sounds as if when it gets warmed up it starts to act up. Do you hav... | |
| McIntosh MC1.25KW vs Luxman M-10X @stereo5 Not sure why my opinion upset you so much. I have owned McIntosh and it always sounded best, in fact really good, with bright speakers. I'm not saying you can't use it with say Harbeth's or other British speakers for instance, but they ... | |
| Think there'll soon be a successor to the Chord Qutest? There are a lot of DAC's out there that need updates. PS Audio just did theirs. Chord probably has one in the works. If not, they won't be around in the future. Evolve or die. | |
| Alan Parsons - From The New World Sounds like Alan Parsons, so quite good, love is a bit strong though. Drop a tab and enjoy. @fuzztone is on target. I do like 01 also. | |
| McIntosh MC1.25KW vs Luxman M-10X Although I never owned Wilsons, I have owned McIntosh and Luxman and I agree with audiojan, it would make the Wilson's dull and lifeless. You need a very bright speaker to get the best sound out of a McIntosh. Just an opinion having owned many... | |
| The difference between an Audiophile and a Stereophile? Thanks for mentioning Nada Brahma - I consider myself well read, but have never heard of that. I always like learning something new! So thank you. To get back to your original question, the best sound I ever heard was the first "High Quality" sys... |
