| ATC or Audio Note (2-way) I've owned both ATC SCM11v2s Audio Note AN-K SPx/SPe Two very different price points. The ATCs are very resolving, fast transient response, can play really loud and still maintain tonal balance and soundstage w/o compression. They do need pow... | |
| Technics SL 1200GR with What Cartridge??? I would add the AudioTechnica AT33SA to the list for consideration. I run one on my 1200MK2 - very musical, tracks great, matches with the arm. | |
| Pass Labs INT-25 or equivalent in another brand The Luxman L-509x stays in Class A for the first 6 watts (8 ohm load) before going A/B to its rated output. The L-507 probably the same. | |
| Looking for Blues with High Fidelity Audioquest put out a release on CD and SACD called Bluesquest. I have the CD and it is *very* well recorded. | |
| External phono stage for Luxman 509x @btrail All that counts is if you're in a happy place! 👍 | |
| External phono stage for Luxman 509x My answer remains the same as from the last month this was asked https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/external-phono-stage-for-luxman-509x-2 Do you have the L-509x? | |
| Advice needed on MC cartridges I have the Luxman L-509x, Technics SL1200mk2 (tonearm rewire, damper) and I have the Marantz SA-KI Pearl player. I went from the Hana SH on the MM input to the Audio Technica AT33SA (LOMC) and am really enjoying the sound. While the Hana was a v... | |
| What are some of your favorite "COLD" songs? Baby Ice Dog - Blue Oyster Cult | |
| External phono stage for Luxman 509x I have the L-509x and have run a Hana SH (HOMC) thru the MM input and now run an Audio Technica AT33SA (LOMC) thru the MC input. Both sound fantastic! John Atkinson's measurements in the Stereophile review of the L-509x get good marks. The only... | |
| Integrated Amplifiers - Luxman vs Pass Labs The L-509X is biased to run Class A for the first 6 watts. The AN-Ks are 90dB efficient. Given my setup, I do most of my listening under 6 watts/Class A. 👍 | |
| Integrated Amplifiers - Luxman vs Pass Labs I own the L-509X paired with Audio Note AN-K/SPx SE speakers. The overall sound is open, relaxed, and natural sounding. I think it's a great pairing. Great at low volumes with the Loudness feature on, great at higher volumes with the Loudness o... | |
| Luxman 509X, 590AXII, or Gryphon Diablo 300 for B&W 802d3 I currently own the L-509X - fantastic sounding unit with ample power and control, but as an owner of B&W CDM1NTs in my HT setup, I would say that the Gryphon would be my choice for 802D3s. Just my personal experience, but the B&Ws pair b... | |
| Looking for a SS integrated Amplifier recommendation going into a new system FYI. The Luxman L-509X operates in Pure Class A for the first 6 watts (8ohm load) before going into AB to rated output. The Luxman L-590AXII is Pure Class A for 30watts, but it too transitions to AB to its maximum output. I confirmed this via e... | |
| Short list of musical subwoofers Rythmik sealed with a plate amp option that has the PEQ feature which offers some additional control on taming room nodes. The continuously variable phase control 0-180degrees is another important feature - I would never buy another sub that didn... | |
| Cartridge recommedations I went from a Hana SH (HOMC) to an Audio Technica AT33SA (LOMC). I like the AT better. |
