| Experience with Luxman L-550 AXII Thank you. I’m very tempted right now. But given all the work I’m doing on my house this summer, I need to start saving. | |
| Experience with Luxman L-550 AXII One more question for the group-- How do you like/rank the phono stage? | |
| Experience with Luxman L-550 AXII Thank you folks. Sounds like I'll need to give it a go. Your responses are checking off my initial concern boxes in a good way. Even though I want to avoid a cool sounding amp, I don't necessarily need warmth. I like having different gear for ... | |
| So I bought the Willsenton R-800i I run Klipsch Heritage Cornwall IVs with the 800i 805 and it's near dead silent. Plus, if it were a transformer hum, the efficiency of your speakers may not matter--it would put that noise into the room without the speakers. Since you are runnin... | |
| So I bought the Willsenton R-800i I’m sorry to hear folks have significant audible hum. That’s frustrating. I have almost zero hum. I have to put my ear right above the transformer and it’s barely audible still. I think the transformer is potted. Have you sent a video of ... | |
| Poll: Most impactful component This is great thread! My answer--I have no idea. How great is Roxy's metaphorical assessment of the system? Speakers = Body & Voice Amplifier = Heart Pre = Soul I would add that Source = Blood For years I fought the notion that the ... | |
| Can you give me your speaker suggestions? I'd look at the Forte IV or CW IV--right up Klipsch's line. I'd bet the Forte IV would do the trick. I actually think they have as much bass weight and meat on the low end as the CWIV because of the passive radiator in the rear. Another op... | |
| Is there a ceiling limit on what you are willing to pay for an audio component? Can we exercise a little civility here? Why say this is a stupid thread? Why question why someone would ask a question? Just move on if it's not for you--that's my humble view. Forums are digital quasi-equivalents of meeting places of yore. Th... | |
| Good Suggestions for Tube Amps under 6k @recklesskelly , I have never been to the Cayin or Primaluna factories/factory, but like tsugury, I have heard the same thing from industry folks. If true, it does not mean it is a bad thing. Some factories make multiple brands. Primaluna and C... | |
| Good Suggestions for Tube Amps under 6k Someone above asked about modifying a Primaluna amp. I have personally done that. This is just my humble opinion so take it just as that. I owned a PL Dialogue HP Integrated. That was their "high power" offering that could run 8 KT150s. The ... | |
| Modifying Crossovers I think the seductive part about upgrading crossovers (not modifying the network) is that those of us who have done it have heard substantial improvements. I am of the opinion that I can more easily hear improvement in sound by upgrading parts in... | |
| Audio Research filing for bankruptcy? Whoops, my big mistake--this is not Chapter 7 or Chapter 11 but receivership. But with a list of creditors like that attached to the filing, Bankruptcy could be imminent. What a sad moment in hifi. | |
| Audio Research filing for bankruptcy? Will ARC warranties be discharged in a Chapter 11 Bankruptcy? If so, my thought that buying super well made Chi-Fi products only came with the risk that warranties wouldn't be honored could apply to ARC or other American blue bloods. Oh my. I... | |
| Is it time that Klipsch Heritage marketing a subwoofer? @bigburban , you are correct! Wow. That system is pretty cute and good looking. But, not what we were looking for specifically. @mcslipp , HAAAAAAA! | |
| Thinking about another amplifier (Galion) Veerosi, I have a very similar amp to yours. My 805 amp is reportedly built in the same factory as yours. while I haven’t heard the Galion, I’m very familiar with Doge (the manufacturer) and Primaluna (your previous amp). Do you like the... |
