Saved systems can't be found, where are they? Oh
It looks like you never added your system  
Question on Luxman L-AX550ii balanced inputs
Thanks @dasherma As I said I think it is to pair with the Luxman CD players. If you look their out put voltage is 2.5 V  
Question on Luxman L-AX550ii balanced inputs
Go to this page, and at the bottom there is a button to download "catalog". Then go to the specifications for the Luxman CL-38uC and read footnote 2. I was unable to post a direct link to the "catalog' in pdf https://www.luxman.com/product/deta... 
Question on Luxman L-AX550ii balanced inputs
I have a CL-38u preamp with balanced inputs and the instructions indicate the maximum input voltage is 2.5 V. I was told that this input was designed for use with a Luxman CD player. I think you can use other input devices, but the output needs ... 
That Transformational piece of Gear We All Wish For
The most transformational equipment change I made was replacing a Rega tonearm with a Basis tonearm. The most transformational change I made to my system was installing room treatments.  
Find the Problem
I think it may be your VTA. Try lowering the arm.  
Struggling in choosing Bookshelf Speakers and Amp for a Luxman PD-151 M2! Please help.
I agree with the recommendation on a used Luxman integrated amp. I would pair it with the Revival Atalante 3 or 5 depending on how they fit in your room and budget. I owned Harbeth Compact 7 speakers, they were not my cup of tea, but they might b... 
Experiences With The Ikeda Arms?
@rauliruegas  Thanks for the compliment Raul. I also have a Luxman CL-35III which has the original plug in transformers. They may be the same as the SUT in the C-5000A. I do have some SS amplification with a Nagra Classic amp. I usually use that... 
Experiences With The Ikeda Arms?
I have the 12 inch version of that tonearm. Very well made and better sounding than the Ortofon RS-309 D that it replaced. VTA adjustment is very easy with the VTA-06 VTA base. I have mostly moving coil cartridges that like a high mas arm. Mr. Ik... 
New wireless hub/router
I use an Eero mesh network. I have one of the Eero units in my music room, I plug my Innuos directly into the Eero unit. No problems  
Beautiful Colored Tube Preamp ($10k budget) to Pair w/ Very Accurate Monitors (PSI A25M)
+1   porchlight1 2 posts 06-17-2024 at 11:35am  My vote would be for the Luxman CL-38uC. Complete with basic remote (volume and mute), full MM/MC phono pre with step-up transformers on the MC input, bass and treble controls with selectable tu...

Tale of two turntables
If you are going to have it rebuilt/upgraded I can recommend Steve Leung at VAS.   https://vasnyinc.com/    
Tale of two turntables
I agree with @soix . I think you should swap cartridges and see how they sound. The lack of detail in this case, is the cartridge, not the turntable, as you noted. In most cases a $1,900 cartridge will sound better than a $500 cartridge. First sw... 
If you have a nice system why do you really need room treatments?
maholl50   "I’m curious about this. I think my system sounds pretty good but am wondering with room treatment would it sound better. Without spending a bunch of money how does one evaluate this?" I was a room treatment denier. There I said it....
