| Preamp thoughts- Conrad Johnson ET7 S2 V McIntosh C2600 Interesting--thanks for the update. | |
| Preamp thoughts- Conrad Johnson ET7 S2 V McIntosh C2600 @rooze What did you end up going with? I've found myself in the same boat. ~$6k used budget and I also owned a CT5 that I really liked and it paired superbly with the Luxman M800a, which I have incoming, when I heard the combo 12 years ago. So... | |
| Mola Mola Tambaqui I have a Kula with built-in Tambaqui. It is fantastic, no doubt. Its transparency, clarity, and spaciousness stand out while also sounding relaxed, effortless, and in no way hot up top. I prefer my dCS Paganini + Network Bridge combo, though. ... | |
| Class A amps I've owned many excellent class A amps. I've settled on a class AB and a class D integrated for my systems and they produce the best sound I've experienced in my home. Topology certainly doesn't tell the whole story of what an amp sounds like. | |
| Best Integrated that you've heard under $5k Hegel H390 in my experience. I preferred it to McIntosh MA352 (overly saturated and flat soundstage) and LTA Z10 (a bit thin sounding but amazingly transparent). I would put it up there with Pass XA25 and First Watt SIT-3 power amps I had befor... | |
| Mola Mola Kula, anyone? I really think it’s a matter of preference between the two. I’ve only had the Kula for a few days, but here’s my initial impressions. As previously stated, I think they are more alike than different. They are both pretty neutral, highly detailed, ... | |
| $4000 budget for amp and preamp If you are still thinking of other options, consider the Hegel H390. If you buy used the warranty is transferable, but it also sells new at pretty deep discounts. I got one for well under $5k and was very impressed with it. I preferred it to the ... | |
| DAC That Punches Above Its Price Point MHDT Orchid. | |
| Power cord supplied with Luxman L-509X Integrated Amp I've never had an expensive piece of hifi that DIDN'T come with a cheap looking generic power cord. Same goes for interconnects. BYOC (Bring Your Own Cable) is expected. | |
| Holo Audio May DAC Anyone compare this to Lumin X1, dCS bartok, MSB Discrete or other in similar class? This DAC is being pumped up as some "giant killer" but I want to see a detailed report of a giant being killed, or how it falls short.@nquery, very nice write up... | |

| Voltage conversion of Accuphase E-650 I went ahead and did this myself and tested successfully with a dim bulb tester.The amp sounds fantastic! It is somehow both crisp and clear, yet rich and slightly warm, with great texture and soundstage depth.For others who might use this thread ... | |
| Voltage conversion of Accuphase E-650 Thank you! | |
| Voltage conversion of Accuphase E-650 @imhififan Yes, that's the board. Sorry, let's try this again:https://photos.app.goo.gl/qknm4Js8Pe2t58rR9https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/3753#&gid=1&pid=1 | |
| Voltage conversion of Accuphase E-650 Hello @imhififan @foolishman just to be crystal clear, connector K3 needs to be moved to K5 and connector K4 moved to K6 as pictured here? https://i.imgur.com/inGH8JLh.jpgSorry to be dense, but I want to make absolutely sure before having my tech ... |
