| What integrated should I upgrade to? Thanks. Hard to change now! I think the retail on all my cables could pay for a new 509x. It just sounded great when I first connected it up and just forgot about it all. The power cables are Shunyata and Voodoo power cables connected to a Shunya... | |
| What integrated should I upgrade to? ryder,Thanks for the words of wisdom!I didn’t know it was sensitive to cables. I have never tried any other cables with it. Since I had separates before the 590axII, I just used the same cables. I only use and have Transparent Cables. For the 590 ... | |
| unbeatable Class A integrated I am biased, but my vote is for Luxman 590AXII. It has been a wonderful amp thus far! It looks and sounds wonderful! The heat is there, but not too bad. | |
| Speaker upgrade around 100k retail I cannot comment on the others, but I’ve heard Tidal multiple times at CAF and I always thought it had the best sound of the show! Hands down! I hope to one day be able to afford a pair! So while Magico and Focal might be more popular, I’d say I’v... | |
| DAC choices -- help me cross the line I have two PS Audio DACs. A DirectStream Junior and a Stellar Gain Cell. Both are wonderful! If you can find a used DirectStream Junior for $2500 or less I would jump on it. It’s an FPGA upgradable type and sounds like something that would be 10k... | |
| What integrated should I upgrade to? Oh getting new Speaker cables in on Monday. So that might just get me to the next level with my current speaker / amp combination. | |
| What integrated should I upgrade to? Yeah. That’s what I was thinking too! Netflix shows like Dark have great soundtracks and dialogue is effortless now. Loving this new Luxman 505uxII. So much it has me itching to make a speaker upgrade now. I guess that would be a new thread. Lol | |
| Streamer Value Question Innous vs Bluesound Skip the Nucleus and install a Roon Core on your existing laptop or computer. I run mine on an iMac that stays on 24x7. | |
| Will a $700 turntable outperform a CD player? To OP, There are many variables involved. If you have a well mastered CD and compare it to a poorly mastered LP or the LP is very noisy, then CD can be way better sounding. Vice-versa too. It really depends on your determination to source and p... | |
| Streamer Advice Lumin, Auralic, Innuos Others? Got the Cambridge CXN v2 series 2 yesterday and sadly it was DOA. Really sucks because I had high hopes for it. Initiated a return and not sure I will try another. Seems QC is not that great. The unit is also very light weight; I was expecting... | |
| What integrated should I upgrade to? Yep. I do listen to music in my family room, but will use it a lot for watching TV. I will not be listening to records or CDs in this room. All those are upstairs in my reference room. Though, I also have a big 75in TV up there. So watching TV and... | |
| What integrated should I upgrade to? Pass must be great but too rich for my needs. | |
| What integrated should I upgrade to? Thanks Nitewulf. There is a 30 day return on the Cambridge CXN v2. So I will give it an audition. If it is rubbish, I will be sending it back for a full refund. My requirements for a streamer are: have at least one optical input (for my TV), be Ro... | |
| Streamer Advice Lumin, Auralic, Innuos Others? How do you like the CXN v2? I just ordered one (the Series2 revision). Waiting to connect to my Luxman 505uxII. | |
| What integrated should I upgrade to? Folks. Decided to try a Cambridge CXN v2 series 2 to replace my Auralic Aries Mini. It will serve as both streamer and DAC for my TV. I think the DAC section should be an upgrade from the built in DAC of the little Aries mini. |
