| Luxman Audio Gear - what is happening with them here in USA Pantheon - First, you are ignorant, like many, about the merchandising practices of big manufacturers that 10 years ago no one thought would be in Best Buy like B&W, KEF, McIntosh. They buy their way in. Why not Luxman? Second, a comment canno... | |
| Magnepan upgrade Buy Sound Lab Electrostatics and you will get what you are seeking. You can get off the component-go-round. They are a line source single membrane electrostatic that is covered by various patents. Now they have the 545 series that stands 5 feet ta... | |
| Stay away from the nad Your choice of Accuphase is a good one. They follow the Deming rules of zero defects. An engineer friend of 40 years experience says he never sees them in for repair, except for some of the gray market ones.Please contact me if you wish authorized... | |
| Luxman Audio Gear - what is happening with them here in USA I was recently auditioning a $15k + turntable and cartridge through a Luxman valve preamp, a Bryston amp, and a pair of odd-shaped KEF speakers.There was a buzz in one channel of the LUXMAN that could not be gotten rid of. The tech fellow and the ... | |
| Considering switching from Audio Research to PrimaLuna, troube with VS115 amp PL has given you a good education and the ads are ha-ha funny. Point to point wiring for most tube equipment is almost a necessary but not sufficient indication of quality. For example, look at old JADIS gear. There the problem was poor design and... | |
| 8K for a one-time listen? I don't know what the music is but for $8k you could hire a decent 2nd class string quartet, a hall and invite your friends as they did in the old days. Probably enough to have a reception afterwards. That would be a night to remember. | |
| MQA according to new Stereophile "loudness button" and "tweaking EQ in presence region" I think brianlucey is right on the £. | |
| Small room electrostat/ planar speaker? BTW another option is the Bob Carver Amazing Line Source system that comprises 2 multi-ribbon/side 4" driver array based tower and a SubRosa subwoofer- amplifier-xover - amp. (I have one in my a smaller room probably the size you are going to. It ... | |
| Small room electrostat/ planar speaker? Hi emailists,I'll give you some basic specs. You can then go to the Sound Lab site under dealers and look at the link to my site under Best Sound Only in CT. I will be posting ALL the information that I have on my site. Its under construction so i... | |
| Small room electrostat/ planar speaker? If you want a pure single diaphragm electrostat, consider Sound Labs with Sallies (or the equivalent) behind them. Many drive them with low wattage Atmasphere amps and are very happy. PrimaLunas are well-made valve amps. You can always get a larg... | |
| One of the best HDMI cable? goby,Good news? How long a run are the HDMI cables you are using? I don't think the Redmere or the new Monoprice fibre optic HDMI cables come into their own until 25" or more. In fact I think the fibre optics start at 100' plus! I don't work for MP! | |
| My Audio Research experience Frankly I don't buy a piece of used valve gear even if it is "only used for 5 days" unless I can get it at a DEEP discount. As a rule most new electronics fail within 30 days (True for computers, etc.) I don't know if ARC threw all their parts awa... | |
| Best Tubed Preamp For A Warm, Rich Sound, Yet Still Detailed and Agile Misspelled name - hope the link works. dyslexia. | |
| Best Tubed Preamp For A Warm, Rich Sound, Yet Still Detailed and Agile I'd look at the Baekert Labs preamps in all price ranges they are giant killers. Bob Baekert has a patent on a new power supply, worked at CJ for years, and the many reviews of the Rhumba and Rhythm have been very positive. Plus, I understand they... | |
