| Got a message from a "suspended" member I went and picked up a near mint, in original double boxes US-spec Luxman EQ-500 on Friday. It was one that had been posted on US Audiomart once or twice before, but a deal fell through. The seller was on Long Island NY but agreed to meet me ... | |
| Got a message from a "suspended" member I still wish I could communicate just to be sure it's not someone nearby that I could but. | |
| Got a message from a "suspended" member I would like to think so, but in his message that I can't reply to he's asking $2,500 and that's at least $1,500 below any of the legit ads I'd seen here that are closed sales. It seems I got no way of getting in touch to flesh him out. | |
| Does Qobuz work I've got a Bluesound Vault 2 and started with streaming Tidal HiFi back around 2016. I switched to Qobuz hi-res in 2019 and it's been working just fine ever since. It was around 2021 that I switched my wireless network over to a TP Link Deco M5 me... | |
| KEF Reference 1 or LS60 I have auditioned LS-60's and also own Reference 1's. Mine are fed by a Luxman entry-level integrated amp, and still beat the LS-60's handily. | |
| The most tower like stand mount under $4k KEF R3 Meta bolted onto their bespoke stands, My dealer has told me since the original R3 was introduced that "the R3 is the best-selling floorstanding speaker that's not a tower" he's ever offered. And sold a LOT of them. | |
| Lose weight or buy better fitting pants I have a room that is 12' square with a window on one wall, a door opposite that, and two of the walls have angles to the upper 1/4 of them. All the walls and ceiling are horsehair plaster with 30" of blown in insulation above and 2-1/2 foam insul... | |
| Magico A5 or KEF blade 2? I would say it depends upon the room. Blade and Blade 2 both need a wider room than the A5 to shine, and that's why KEF Reference series exists. | |
| Audio Research or Luxman? I recently bought a new Luxman L-505uX Mark 2 and it’s driving my KEF Reference 1 speakers so sweetly! I could only be happier if I had a LOT more money to go up the line. Someday, I probably will. I am aware that the L-507uX Mark 2 will soon be ... | |
| Products you added to your system in 2021 that made most impact to your music enjoyment From KEF LS50's to KEF Reference 1 From Emotiva USP-1 pre-amp & Carver M-1.5t power amp to Luxman L-505uX Mark2. From a hard surfaced, wood floor office to a plush dedicated listening room. Heaven! | |
| Class A amplifier alternative? Luxman’s Class A-B are VERY close in sound to their own Class A. I’ve found that the "watts per channel" mean little, it’s all about the current they produce, and the headroom. | |
| Does anyone know if Bluesound Node 2i Streamer/Dac is being updated soon. The fact that Bluesound pushes out both app and firmware updates on a regular basis is why your Node 2i won't go outdated anytime soon. To illustrate their longevity, consider I gave Node N100's (the original) to my son, daughter, brother, and two... | |
| Best budget streamer on the market now? The ProJect S2 DAC does have a different DAC chip set and does full MQA. Better, is debatable. Different, yes. Streaming via the Node 2i even if you hand over another $400 or so to your dealer, does preserve the good user interface. | |
| Best budget streamer on the market now? I consider that the Node N100, 2, and 2i are all a good choice not just because they sound good, but because the BluOS apps and total capability of streaming, from paid services and any radio station that streams to even some pretty obscure podcas... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? William Tyler - "Goes West"Went to see him at a small coffeehouse in Keene NH last night and got to speak with him before & after the show. Bought the LP from him and he signed it. Inside the jacket was a card from Merge Records with numbers t... |
