| What integrated should I upgrade to? Thanks Geoffrey. But I’ve already acquired the Luxman 505uxII. I hadn’t considered Music Fidelity, but thanks for the suggestion. I which I would have had a dealer near me to audition one and the many others that have been recommended. I know the ... | |
| What integrated should I upgrade to? Thanks Don Jr. i would really like to check out Accuphase someday, but they seem hard to find here in the states. I’ve never come across any in all the times going to Capital Audio Fest or the FL show. I might have missed them, but cannot remember... | |
| What integrated should I upgrade to? Folks, ended up getting a Luxman 505uxII.https://flic.kr/p/2jfUsod | |
| What integrated should I upgrade to? I think I am able to get a Parasound HINT6 new from a local dealer for 2500. | |
| What integrated should I upgrade to? Erik and others...Down to:1. Used 550ax - $29252. New 505uxII - $3300Some folks tell me there is a big sonic difference between Mark I and Mark II versions of these amps. I only have experience with my own Mark II version of the 590, so have no... | |
| What integrated should I upgrade to? Thanks Erik. I think the 509x is a bit too rich for me at this time. ;-). Especially in a "second system" that I use mostly for TV viewing. I was considering a 505uxII. Hopefully one comes up on the used market soon. I think it would be perfec... | |
| What integrated should I upgrade to? Thanks Erik_squires! I already have a Luxman 590axII, so well acquainted with the sound. It's great! I'm seriously considering a 550ax for my second system. My concern is that, because I will leave it on for long durations (sometimes all day a... | |
| What integrated should I upgrade to? So you are saying that I can connect my speakers and the sub directly to the speaker out terminals on the Marantz integrated amp?Does a banana type termination fit inside the Marantz bare wire entry port? I ask because I have a spare set of speak... | |
| What integrated should I upgrade to? For those that have recommended the Marantz KI PM Ruby, how do you connect your subwoofers?The only way I can think of is using speaker level inputs. Is that a good option? | |
| What integrated should I upgrade to? Hi Tweak1, Yes that is probably true. I would have thought PSA would have lowered their prices a bit once going direct. That hasn't happened. Thanks for the info on W4S. | |
| What integrated should I upgrade to? Kingsleuy many thanks! That’s sound advice! What I have is definitely great for TV viewing and the occasional time I want to listen and cook or just don’t want to walk upstairs. You make valid points! I should just walk my ass upstairs when I want... | |
| What integrated should I upgrade to? The Marantz KI-PM Ruby is interesting. I would have never thought to consider a Marantz. Does it really compare to Luxman and Esoteric? | |
| What integrated should I upgrade to? Given all the input for Hegel, I think I will scratch them from my list. Interesting product, but I really appreciate build quality. | |
| What integrated should I upgrade to? I lugged the Luxman 590axII downstairs...a back breaker...and will listen with it connected in the same way with the same cables as the Cambridge CXA80. From an initial listen, the Luxman is better - wider soundstage, more separation and air arou... | |
| What integrated should I upgrade to? This is true jbuhl! They will take almost anything in on trade. So essentially the Strata will be as low as $2100. |
