| Luxman Knockoffs or Counterfeits? I purchased a Accuphase 380 brand new off of ebay, from a Japanese dealer. I got a brand new amp that list in the states for 9K for 4K. The dealer even got me a 120 volt version. It was shipped in quadruple boxes and it arrived in perfect new cond... | |
| Buying Used Equipment on the Internet Good advice here. If you are new to the game, you might start off with TMR,ebay or this site. Buying used IMO is when you know what your want and looking for a good price. I did one friends and family purchase, but I did contact the person I bough... | |
| What happened to all the highend stereo shops @RLJ, You forgot Soundworks, in Wheaton,MD. One of the biggest Krell dealers on the east cost. IMO, they were one snobby dealer. Once the son took over the shop, the shop died quickly. | |

| Burn in vs perception It seems we all have different experiences concerning break in. I have 7 pair of bookshelf speakers and most seemed to change sound over time. I have a Loki Max EQ and I would need to control brightness for a time. After the so call burn in, I wou... | |
| Schiit Loki Max? Stuart, when I say change the characteristic of the speaker, I mean when you adjust a frequency on the loki, it’s as if yoou change how the speakers is voiced. If you adjust the highest treble knob, you can make your speaker become bright. Your so... | |
| High end speakers at low volume You asked about the schitt Loki Max. It will definitely help at low volume. Someone mentioned about adding noise, well maybe with a scope you , might see it, but to my ears I hear nothing added to my music. Because the unit is all analog it seems ... | |
| Focal 926 -----> Dynaudio Special 40 or..... The special 40 would have no problem filling your room. However those speakers like current to sound their best. I use mine with a Pass Labs integrated 250. A speaker that would definitely fill your room and is very dynamic is the JBL 1600. These ... | |
| Too powerful of an amp!? Yes you can go higher. In fact if it’s a high current amp, it will be more beneficial. I run my Pass 250 with many bookshelf rated less than 250w rating. No issue what so ever. | |
| Schiit Loki Max? I have had MY LOKI Max for about a year and I must say I could not do without it in my system. I have space limitations in my room, which cause me to locate my bookshelf speakers close to the rear wall. What I like most about the Loki, is it seems... | |
| the big one: how do you choose speakers? By what features, data? For me, I have purchased my speakers based on reputation and read as many reviews about a speaker I am interested in. i rarely by new, so if the speaker has generated a lot of interest, easy to sale if I don’t like it. Since my audio system is in ... | |
| my shortlist for integrated Harbethsuper hl5 plus xd - please advise You can’t go wrong with the hegal. For 4K on the used market, its hard to beat IMO. I have a Pass 250, Accuphase 380, Mac Ma353 and the Hegal. I can nit pick all of them, but it’s hard to find anything with the Hegal. Midrange is some of the best ... | |
| Which Hegel Amp with LRS+ As the owner of pass 250, Accuphase 380, mac ma 352,and hegal 390, I can tell you the 390 is very warm. In fact I would say you have to be careful speaker matching with the hegal. I had my mac running wth my NHT c3’s and it was magic to my ears. ... | |
| Experience with Luxman L-550 AXII If you are looking for warm intrgrated, might check oout the Hegal 390. It’s a very nice amp, but of course the luxman looks nicer. |
