| Luxman vs. Accuphase I got a statement from an audiophile friend in AU... Says the Luxman has a warmer tone and the Accuphase is purer and sweeter.Could it be agreed with that the Lux is warmer sounding than the Acc? He also says the Acc is better to his ear but of co... | |
| Luxman vs. Accuphase Brianmgrarcom, I have not heard the Accuphase, so I am just trying to gather a little more information, if possible. If an answer intrigues me enough to pursue a demo, I will. There might be an aspect or two that my system could benefit further wi... | |
| Luxman vs. Accuphase I have a Luxman 590ax in house for a demo right now. It goes back tomorrow... I like what it does, so naturally I am very curious about what one might gain or loose with Accuphase. What are the real world differences between these two brands (in t... | |
| Accuphase E-560 versus VAC Sigma 160i Thanks Keithr. Very helpful. | |
| Accuphase E-560 versus VAC Sigma 160i Keithr, Interesting that you found the Luxman 590ax to be way overly warm. I have not read that about the unit in any reviews (I know, take all reviews with a grain of salt)... Is it possible that the FETs in the amp were not broken in yet. I had ... | |
| Accuphase E-560 versus VAC Sigma 160i Thanks for the response Fplanner2000. That does help a little... I do not listen loud. Only around 9 0'clock on the dial (guessing in the 70 to 80 db range), but I do listen to rock and a deep and thorough low end is important to me.I just wish th... | |
| Accuphase E-560 versus VAC Sigma 160i Fplanner2000,What do you think of your Melody AN845, in your second system, as compared to the 160i you listed to at your friends pace? Having VAC in your main system but also owning the melody has interested me, since I am considering the 160i an... | |
| Accuphase E-560 versus VAC Sigma 160i Thanks for the coments about Kevin and about the 160i as well. I have actually heard nothing but good things about Kevin. And to be honest, my second email to him might of been rather pedestrian and more sales related, but I was also curious about... | |
| Accuphase E-560 versus VAC Sigma 160i I hear ya Beatlebum, but most I have run into or read just purchases one without hearing the others but say they are very happy. I have been trying to get a good read on these offerings for a couple months. What little is out there is inconclusive... | |
| Accuphase E-560 versus VAC Sigma 160i I *think* many prefer the Luxman 590AX over the Accuphase E-560 is due to cost. The 560 is considerably more expensive... But yes. the Sigma 160i seems to be very well received at every mention.How much warmth do these three amps have? Which has t... | |
| Accuphase E-560 versus VAC Sigma 160i To bad no responses on this the whole year... These are two integrated amps now on my list. They are very different, one being tubed and one bing solid state, but I too wonder how they compare...Tube meister, did you end up with either? | |
| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house Abruce, Tubed VS solid state is just as one would think... The SS rectified was faster and punchier, with tighter bass but still with a good 'floating in space' effect... The tube rectified has a touch more analog feel to it and a deeper soundstag... | |
| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house Interesting Norman. Thanks for sharing. I may have to try both then... My Lamp has ecc40's. Not many replacements for them. | |
| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house Has anyone tried the Tun-sol 6x5? Most of this lamp crowd might favor the the Bendix but wondering how the -possibly less aggressive- Tung-Sol sounds as well... | |
| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house My L4G4 was switched from solid state rectification to tube rectified. Since the unit was converted, the label on the back does not say what the tube type is... The tube in the unit is printed "6U5C". From what I can find this is equivalent to 6X5... |
