| speaker choice for new 20x30 audio room I am running some Ryan R630’s. At your budget you could move up to the S840’s. If you haven’t finished the build out, you could double your framing and cross bracing, use glue and screws on the sheet rock and rockwool for insulation and you not on... | |
| Gratitude and Thanksgiving While not a regular contributor here, I too am grateful for the knowledge I have gleaned from you all. I am thankful not to have grown up under tyranny or privation. I feel immense gratitude that my boys are healthy and well-adjusted. While it d... | |
| Learning to Listen: Neurological Evidence @henry53, for the sort of music I enjoy, I agree with you. As more popular music is computer driven electronica and voices are autotuned, live performances for this genre are themselves fake, and so perhaps hifi in that case is less fake than it i... | |
| Learning to Listen: Neurological Evidence I LOVE this sort of thing. Anything neurological fascinates me. When it combines with our music hobby, all the more so. From my own reading, it does seem likely that timing is what continues to separate vinyl from digital. Now that we have begun t... | |
| Casters to replace spikes For WAF, I renoved the spikes on my speaker stands and put on some rubber wheeled casters that I purchased off of Amazon. I researched a fair bit, but ultimately chose those with the correct thread pitch and locking wheels. I ordered a couple diff... | |
| Luxman L-590AX Super old post, but I put in my order for the 590AXII after auditioning many integrateds and the full line up of Luxman integrateds. While I liked both the 509 and the 590, the latter had greater palpability. It was also easier for me to follow an... | |
| Luxman L505u . . . why not? Thanks Jibber Jabber. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Best of Dizzy Gillespie, PabloRed Garland’s Piano, PrestigeDinner now though, so not sure if I will get back to more listening later. | |
| My NAD 3020 D proves your Class D tropes are wrong I just recently bit the bullet and ordered a Luxman 590AXII after listening to many different amps. I suppose that if you look hard you can find some poor sounding amps, but nothing I have heard across many typologies sounded bad. In fact, I am ra... | |
| My best retort to those that think we listen to our stereos more than the music If I were to rephrase blueranger’s op, i would say we can approach our lives transactionally or relationally. For me, music in the background is transactional; low res music is transactional; focussing on acquiring the equipment is transactional. ... | |
| From Naim to Luxman...? Superelmar, what do you think now? Happy with your decision?I have a Naim Atom and after a long time shopping for something with more grunt and soundstage, I just put a deposit on the Luxman 590AXII. The density and richness of the music, the larg... | |
| LUXMAN 505u? Has anyone gotten a 507 from Japan recently? If so any recommendations? Are their models still able to change the voltage for the US? I would worry that a transformer might impact SQ. Any advice? | |
| VINYL SUCKS! Can someone give me my 6 minutes back? | |
| Vinyl on NAD M10 lower volume I am glad crustycoot is familiar with the device. Yes, many preamps have a “trim level” or trim control to match levels, and fortunately it sounds like the M10 does. You are in luck. Enjoy the music. | |
| Why wont speaker companies publish their measurements? And here's another perspective, from one of the few mags that still measures:https://www.stereophile.com/content/how-does-music-make-you-feel |
