| Luxman vs Pass Labs Do yourself a major favor and audition the Luxman L-590 AX II. | |
| Upgrading form Pass integrated amplifier to a better one I finally gave in to temptation. My Gryphon Diablo 300 should be here in a week. | |
| Anyone any experience of Gato Amps? @meekeenz. I have owned dozens of amps of which said brands (to name a few) were mentioned. I guess I should have been more specific in terms of which models I was referring to as opposed to simply mentioning brands. Sorry for the confusion. ... | |
| MA252 + Bluesound Node 2 + DAC? Or Naim Uniti Atom/Star? I have the MA252 with a Node 2, connected to a Chord 2 Qute DAC in my office rig. It sounds great. You should try to audition the MA252. It performs quite well. | |
| Luxman L590AXii vs Accuphase E-650 for a Shindo lover mimar2910 - Glad to see that you actually made money on the sale of (used) Accuphase gear. I AM comparing Luxman to Accuphase since I have owned many pieces (L-590 AX, E-470 and E-600). Accuphase and Luxman amps sell for about the same price i... | |
| Luxman L590AXii vs Accuphase E-650 for a Shindo lover @builder3 - glad to know that you still love the 590. Of all the gear I have owned, it's the piece I regret selling! | |
| New McIntosh MA252 @returnmusic - that's a real tough question. I have the MA252 in my office and the PrimaLuna in my living room at home so it would difficult to declare a winner. Thus far, they are both very much at the same level of sonic performance. Perhaps ... | |
| Luxman L590AXii vs Accuphase E-650 for a Shindo lover @restock I have not heard the 509 yet. From those who have, the consensus is that it’s not better than the 590. I’m with you on the Luxman/Harbeth thing. I never really cared for it. Perhaps too much warmth? Almost too polite in terms of presen... | |
| Help with integrated amp choice Plinius Inspire 980. Full disclosure... I’m selling mine on Agon right now. | |
| Am I dreaming? Luxman L-590AX II. Half the price of the Accuphase and 95% of the performance. | |
| Luxman L590AXii vs Accuphase E-650 for a Shindo lover The Accuphase is marginally better. I have owned the Luxman L-590 AX and the Accuphase E-600. I have heard the new Luxman L-590AX II and it does sound better than its predecessor.The bottom line is the Accuphase will cost you twice as much (on... | |
| Will McIntosh C2600 tube preamp solve my problem? +1 | |
| New McIntosh MA252 For the price and features, it’s going to be hard to beat. Smart move on the part of McIntosh as this unit will serve as a great entry point for folks to get hooked on the brand. | |
| New McIntosh MA252 I got a used one. It looks new though so no wait! I sold my Accuphase E-600 as it was overkill for an office rig. The tube front end certainly creates some warmth and magic compared to 100% ss. I purchased a Plinius 980 last week as well (I had... | |
| Accuphase E600 or Esoteric F-03A @cool_jeeves - It wasn't much of a step up, if at all. I had an E-470 BTW. |
