| Stereophile, Pass Integrated and personal taste Hi @erik_squires thanks. I keep what I like and sell what I don't; In this case Pass won me over compared to the best Luxman had to offer; Pass Fan boy? Absolutely!! and thank you for the compliment :)Good luck on your quest of trying to understan... | |
| Stereophile, Pass Integrated and personal taste Last year I went on a turbo mission to find the best amplification that makes the most music to my ears; I purchased and lived with top Luxman solid state: 509x, m900/c900 combo; numerous ancillary equipment swaps in the process so I could best di... | |
| Audiophile speakers that get loud Get Dynaudio contour 60s. You will not need subs. These speakers are incredible for loud dynamic playback with bass that is palpable, super deep and highly impactful; | |
| Luxman M-600A Properly designed amplifiers, any class, will be sure to manage the internal heat such that the capacitors see the least heat; In the case of modern Class A or AB amps of 30 watts or more, the semiconductors are interfaced tightly to large heatsin... | |
| Eh hem!...Subwoofers... What do ya know? Good idea davekaycKeep all options on the table!!The JL E-112 subs have a fair amount of built in tuning so hopefully this proves helpful; Since I am nuts about this stuff, I am going to grab our nice Oscilloscope from work and my omni mics (or us... | |
| Eh hem!...Subwoofers... What do ya know? @erik_squires thanks good info;I agree the using a pre-out (or active crossover) the preferred way and so does JL audio, but in my case I am running my XLR only DAC directly into my Amp; I will need to play around in the speaker level input regime... | |
| Eh hem!...Subwoofers... What do ya know? @erik_squires Can you detail this thought please:"Speaker level inputs are subject to the amp/speaker impedance matching"My amp's Zout is much less than an ohm (according to Luxman the damping factor is around 700); The Zin of the powered sub, acc... | |
| Eh hem!...Subwoofers... What do ya know? pretty solid article on sub integration. https://jlaudio.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/205061040-Adding-a-Home-Audio-Subwoofer I am preparing to integrate a pair of JL E112 subs in my system...showing up in a few days...I will first try high lev... | |
| Integrated under $2000 for Focal Aria 926s If you can find one a Marantz PM14 s1; great integrated; powerful and refined; can’t go wrong | |
| ESOTERIC N-01 Replacement For My PS Audio BHK Preamp & Directstream Dac with Brige ll @blumartini you really should try to demo an MSB Discrete dac; with the Ethernet renderer module and second power supply you have a Roon compliant endpoint that also functions superbly as a preamp; I recently completed an extensive A/B with my Lux... | |
| Hidden Gems in Pre-Owned Solid State Power Amplifiers? Pass XA 30.5; such a music maker!@avanti1960 My dad had a white 1963 Studebaker Avanti, R2 with red interior from 1979 to 2012. I should have kept that one. I helped him put a solid state ignition in it and was with him when he rechromed all the p... | |
| Looking for the Best Integrated High Current Amplifier 250-300 WPC I personally found very poor synergy with my Focal Sopra No 2’s and a Luxman M-900U; Bass energy was flat and anemic; tried lot’s of things; It’s not my room acoustics; The same amp on Dynaudio Contour 60’s flat out destroyed the Sopra’s in the ba... | |
| $30K DAC in a $70K system - wise or ridiculous? 1.) Sell your PS Audio BHK; (+~3500 in your pocket)2.) Get an MSB Discrete DAC with USB module and extra power supply (~12K)3.) Keep your Kanta 3;4.) EnjoyI owned a PS Audio BHK for a bit; Tube rolled, etc...ultimately did not last too long in my ... | |
