| Esoteric F-05 Integrated - any opinions? ktliao88,Congrats on the new acquisition! I am glad that you and your wife are happy with the F-05. It's a great integrated amp and for the money, there are few others than can compete when considering all the built in features it has! You shou... | |
| Luxman Taking a Different Direction hudsonvalleyhifi - I stand corrected regarding the address. I relied on a quick BING search which suggested a residential address. Hopefully, the Luxman brand will live on in the US. GreginNH | |
| Accuphase Integrated Amp - E600 or E470 Well, I did it again. Just pulled the trigger on an E-600. It should be here next week. I am looking forward to getting back into the Class A "groove"! | |
| Esoteric F-05 Integrated - any opinions? cmaronmurphy - I found that my F-05 seemed to open up fully at about the 100 hour mark. Using my Aerial Acoustic 7T speakers, I can't say that there was anything lacking in terms of presence in the top end. | |
| Luxman Taking a Different Direction @sfall, it’s hard to say if Cable Company will become the distributor. The official word is that IAC (Luxman’s parent company) is taking over distribution themselves. An Upstate New York address is already listed on the Luxman website - apparently... | |
| Anyone any experience of Gato Amps? I own the Gato AMP-150. It is a superb integrated and has performed much better than virtually any other amp I have owned (McIntosh, Luxman, PrimaLuna, Accuphase and Esoteric). I suspect the separates are a step above the AMP-150. | |
| Best amp pairing with Aerial Acoustics Speakers? To clarify my previous post, I have only used integrated amps with my Aerial 7Ts. These include Luxman L-590AX, PrimaLuna DiaLogue Premium, Accuphase E-470, Esoteric F-05 and Gato AMP-150 - all in the same room. The Accuphase, Esoteric and Gato ... | |
| Best amp pairing with Aerial Acoustics Speakers? I have Gato Amp 150. Superb match with my 7T speakers. | |
| What CD player/transport has the most stable mechanism? You can't go wrong with Esoteric K-03x at minimum or spring for the K-01X. | |
| SS preamp with tube amp For the record, I am very happy with my integrated amp. I was just curious if the SS preamp made sense as I had an opportunity to scoop up a MC275 for a great price. It's just an OCD thing with me, I can't leave well enough alone! My second rig ... | |
| SS preamp with tube amp Thanks Charles! | |
| SS preamp with tube amp Thanks soix. Good advice for sure. If and when I get bored with my Esoteric F-05, I may spring for something along the lines of MC 2301 with maybe C2600 preamp. Suggestions of course, welcome! | |
| SS preamp with tube amp I'm not surprised. Wouldn't be the first time I did things "back aswards"!! | |
| SS preamp with tube amp I'm using Aerial 7T. | |
| SS preamp with tube amp Thanks Matt and Charles, I am searching for the specs on my Esoteric F-05's preamp output impedance as well those for potential amp - a MC275. Hopefully, as Matt indicated, there will be acceptable impedance values on both ends!Greg |
