| Luxman Integrated - What do they sound like Erik,what are you using for a front end? J | |
| Luxman Integrated - What do they sound like Note: my father’s speakers were Spendorsfrickin’ auto correct | |
| Luxman Integrated - What do they sound like I agree with many comments so far. I can add my own experience.I fell back in love with high end audio when I heard the combination of a pair of Vivid K-1s and a Luxman 600a. For some reason, after several years of various lukewarm equipment demos... | |
| Upgrade? Luxman M-900u and C-900u from Pass X250.8 - Simaudio Evolution P-8 I have owned the c-900 and m-900 combo and they are utterly refined. I had them paired with Vivid Giya 2s. The top end and overall airy and liquid neutrality is beyond worth the price of entry. If you do get them, I highly recommend the two lesse... | |
| Highest BUILD quality tube amps? Absolare gear is top notch, gilded-tank-like solid, very responsive to tube rolling, and the personal service they provide (especially to facilitate experimentation) is second to none. They don’t get much forum time in North America, but they dese... | |
| Thinking about upgrading, but wondering about diminishing returns Possibly the most civilized, helpful and inspiring forum discussion I've read in the last few months (though admittedly I am a sucker for those click-bait posts). Appreciated.Whole-heartedly agree with the suggestions you've picked up on so far. I... | |
| Best of the best Integrated amps in 2018 @david_ten Congrats on the new T+A purchase. Enjoy. I will hopefully be hearing the 845 SET monos and the new hybrid monos (just announced at Munich) later this summer. Definite contenders for future upgrade. That said, the Integrated's sound is ... | |
| Best of the best Integrated amps in 2018 @david_ten The Altius upgrade on the Absolare Integrated involves an upgrade of all internal wiring to Echole's top Limited Edition cabling. It also involves an upgrade of other internals, including the transformer (though the upgraded transformer... | |
| Best of the best Integrated amps in 2018 The Absolare Integrated (with Altius upgrade that takes it to a stratospheric level) is, to date, the most musical integrated I have ever heard. It makes sound live and breathe with a physical presence in your room. Almost scary occasionally. A ve... | |

| Power Cord for Pass Int 60-Under 1K used A relatively low-cost pc that brings an extraordinary organic (but 100% neutral) quality to Solid State amplifiers is made by Luna Cables. They were all over the recent Montréal Audio Show. For almost a year now I have used their $1200 entry-level... | |
| Thief Alert Out of curiosity, what is the etiquette for mentioning something if you think you smell something fishy.The other day I was interested in a piece of equipment and I asked the seller a question about the voltage. He answered and later that week I n... | |
| Best full range loudspeaker for the used price of 10 to 13,000 dollars You can likely find a pair of used Vivid Audio K1s in that price range. The K1s changed the game for me. I updated up the Vivid line, but the K1s took engagement and disappearance to unexpected levels. They are also very forgiving to placement and... | |
| Reference level DAC + Streamer I go straight from totaldac server to luxman m-900u to Vivid Giya 2. Researching best cables right now. But even now, when music is good, its very, very good! |
