Power cord supplied with Luxman L-509X Integrated Amp Hello,Just get the 3 prong of your choice. The ground at the IEC or amp end will not be grounded. What I have found is that the ground connected from the wall end acts as an RFI filter. I do this on my BlueSound Node 2i with an IEC to C7 adapter. ... | |
How long does Class A have? Hello,We just need flywheel generators for our Hifi gear. Then we will be producing our own power for our systems. 1 80lb flywheel produces 1kw of electricity. So we will need several of those for our class A amps. https://www.google.com/search?q=... | |

Full range speaker for rogue 90 or 100 wpc amp. Hello,I like ProAc speakers for $1800, Coincedent super Eclipse. I think they are rated at 14 ohms. I have heard them on a lot of Rogue gear. $1600 used. System Audio speakers. These three are great choices. My favorite is the Coincident super ecl... | |
What is wrong with my system? Hello,Add JL Audio CR1 crossover and a pair of subs. I use a pair JL Audio F110 subs. It’s not about adding bass. It’s about controlling the bass and dialing it to the room. If you are in the Chicagoland area this store lets you try things in you... | |
What is wrong with my system? Hello,I would try some new power cables. I would want a pretty good gauge for your preamp. I like 14awg-12awg. On your amp get 12awg -10awg. You have some hungry equipment but I don’t know what you are feeding it. Their are some great suggestion f... | |
surround processor? Hello,Just like MC I have tried to squeeze every two channel sound out of a surround system by itself. Some stuff helped the sound quite a bit like a better cables. Especially a better power cord. After listening to other systems at friends and st... | |
Time to upgrade my turntable? Hello,I like the idea of the Nagaoka MP110. I have it on one of my turntables. $150 is not a lot to spend to have a nice sound. I have a Schiit Mani pho preamp. It works well with the Nag. But I say pass. Too light. Another option is replace the s... | |
How are most audiophiles going from streamers to DACS Hello,I use the Nordost Silver Shadow Coax cable from my BlueSound Node 2i to my DAC. Silver Shadow retailed for $540 when new. Some Nordost dealers have this in stock. Because Nordost discontinued the Silver Shadow they sell them for $270 new. I ... | |
replace Mcintosh with Luxman Hello,I would call both manufacturers and ask them if the other brand works well with their product. Also, talk to a dealer who is a dealer for both of those products. They might say it works great or give you a better option. Make sure you let al... | |
New Preamplifier Testing (Poor sound) Hello,First: Is your volume all the way up on the DAC or in fixed mode. Sometimes when you attenuate the volume on a DAC or streamer you will lose some of that great sound. Second: sometimes some preamps do not sound great with some amps. See if y... | |
ezcrossover contact info Hello,I think I remember seeing videos on YouTube of Mike from ElevenStereo out of Atlanta, GA making really nice crossovers. His channel name is OCDHIFIGUY. I hope this helps. | |
Casters to replace spikes Hello,I would go with the IsoAcoustic Gaia. You can then put them on nice sliders to move them. If your speakers are on carpet the IsoAcoustic Gaia feet have a carpet spike option. You get the benefit of the Gaia feet and moving them. https://x-pr... | |
Advice on a streamer Hello,The HEOS app makes the marantz be the streamer/DAC. I would recalibrate your Audysee to adjust 300 hz and below. I think you need the Audysee app for that type of calibration. The HEOS is free. Take the money you have and save up for a stron... | |
Problem Solvers Needed-Got my New XOs installed and am worried.... Hello, No worries. If the drivers are OK just go back to the origin values. I would upgrade to better components since you have to do a break in. Did you ask if you have Teflon caps. Maybe they need more time. No permanent damage done just go back... |
