| power cable Certainly try on both. But power cords for amps tend to be different than for components. Emphasis’ for a component power cord is shielding, emphasis on a power cord made for an amp is capacity… lots of metal. | |
| Does Qobuz work I have used Qobuz for years on multiple streamers, never a hitch. 15seconds sounds like you are not properly logged on. Are you able to log on correctly via a iPad or iPhone? This should verify your account is working fine. | |
| As An Experiment I Stuck A Few Things Under My Pre-Amp And Am Now On A Quest @ernstmach Thank you for your kind words. | |
| Luxman D07x I apologize, I was not paying attention, I was talking about the Luxman integrated solid state amps, preamps / amps. I have not heard their CD player / DAC. I’ll have to listen to one. | |

| As An Experiment I Stuck A Few Things Under My Pre-Amp And Am Now On A Quest @ernstmach I figured there was a reason tape would not effect your speakers. For most of my history the finishes on my speakers would not have been affected. I find myself with the most beautiful finished speakers I have ever seen (a really n... | |
| Looking for a great phono pre-amp in the $1000 or less range I found that my turntable was constantly held back by my phonostage for at least several decades. While when I finally got it out of the way with the purchase of a Audio Research PH 8… I had a better table… so that isn’t helpful to you. Phonostag... | |
| Speaker placement Quandary Well, of course different speaker designs, as you said. Also the reflectivity of the rear wall and what is in between them, and how optimized they are. I see photos of your system, but those do not look like Legacy Focus XD speakers. So I am a bit... | |
| Focal Sopra n1 - mids are a bit recessed compared to Lumina IIs What you describe sounds completely correct. Focal speakers are very treble forward speakers and MacIntosh are very midrange / bass heavy… details light. The combo probably sounded good. Your Sonus Faber are very natural sounding with very midrang... | |
| As An Experiment I Stuck A Few Things Under My Pre-Amp And Am Now On A Quest I was looking for a scientific instrument designed for the purpose. But, great idea for folks to try. I forgot about it… I have that. | |
| XLR recomendation I am guessing that you are looking for very neutral, low noise floor and dynamic interconnects judging by your very nice looking system. Obviously we can’t know all the nuances of how your components work together or your tastes. My first choice ... | |

| Amplifier Channel Blown @akg_ca Good thoughts… great way to look at it. I have had work done at an excellent high end electronics repair. So, best case maybe $250… worst case $800 or non-fixable. WAG. versus $1,800 new. Then you have to throw in length of owner... | |
| As An Experiment I Stuck A Few Things Under My Pre-Amp And Am Now On A Quest @ernstmach ”I use a laser pointer to check for vibration…” That is brilliant. Great idea. Although I will not be taping anything to my speakers. However, I have on my list of things to get include a seismometer. I plan on using that for every... | |
| Determining compatibility with amps OP, Yes subwoofers extend the sound stage on most systems… maybe all. |
