| Luxman tables I bought a new PD 277 in 1981, and still have it. The automatic function broke after about 10 years, but it sounded so good, I continued to use it as a manual until I just replaced it about 6 months ago. | |
| Electrostatic speaker cables... Alpha Core 7 gauge solid silver | |
| tube amp dilemma with electrostats I add my vote for ARC. I drive Acoustats with Ref 300's with NOS tubes, and I'm a happy camper. | |
| Tube rolling ARC amps & Steelhead What ever happened to the days when you could just walk into a store and buy a stereo?I've purchased 2 1962 S/H CCa's and 4 Bendix 6900's for the Steelhead. I'll post my impressions when they get here. I'm also going to try the TungSol's - it'll b... | |
| Tube rolling ARC amps & Steelhead Has anyone tried replacing the 6922's in the Steelhead with NOS (1960's) Siemens CCa's? | |
| Tube rolling ARC amps & Steelhead Thanks for your post, Cjfrbw.I'm going to try upgrading the 7044's, per your suggestion. The Steelhead is a wonderful piece of equipment, as you point out, and it deserves to be "maxed out."With my ARC gear, I've also replaced the Russian 6L6GC in... | |
| Audio Research Ref 3 Opinions For those with Ref 2 Mk II's who aren't quite ready to trade up yet, here's a suggestion. I recently swapped out the stock 5AR4 tube in my Ref 2 Mk II for a Gold Lion, and I was blown away by the changes. It added a kind of "immediacy" to the soun... | |
| Best Find Ever??? A Luxman T-12 tuner in mint condition on eBay for Buy-It-Now $150. | |
| would you bother? late post, but - At any time there are approximately 150,000 LP's (used and new) for sale on eBay, most of them in pristine condition, and often selling selling for a fraction of the price of a CD. As one example, I recently got a dozen Count Basi... | |
| Review: Luxman PD-284 Turntable I couldn't agree more. I have a Luxman PD 277, which is very similar, direct drive, automatic. The tonearm may be a little better than that on the 284. The automatic function doesn't even work any more, but I'm still using this table as my preferr... | |
| Old Classic Receivers: A Mistake to Buy? I purchased a Luxman 1120A new in 1982. It worked fantastically well for almost 20 years. I liked it so much, in fact,that when it finally started to "go" last year, I invested about twice what I paid for it originally to have it completely rebuil... | |
| Best female vocals on CD What an amazing thread! Is this an Audiogon record? Incredible amounts of useful information here.My vote - EVA CASSIDY. She had incredible natural talent. I can only imagine how her voice would have matured if she had survived. Even so, the recor... | |
| Top Ten Speakers of All Time? Acoustat Spectra 66 - deepest bass of any full-range electrostat ever made, & sensational imaging. Only downside is need huge room to sound their best. | |
| Why does this circa '75 receiver sound so good? Late post to a very interesting thread. I acquired a new Luxman R1120A receiver in 1982 (1976 design). It sounded so wonderful with Acoustat Monitor 3's that I never thought about listening to anything else for 15 years. Since they have both broke... |
