question for Luxman L-590AX owners
From the posts on this thread and the other one linked to above it appears it is an issue that tends to develop after years.I took a look at the Luxman class A release history to try to guess when the new versions of class A integrateds might be r... 
Warm, rich but detailed SS preamp (made you give up tubes)
Pintos used to blow up in the 70’s but that is no reason to avoid purchasing a modern car 
question for Luxman L-590AX owners
Haha, erik_squires suggested the same device halfway up the thread. Dang the whole issue is troublesome though. I was seriously considering targeting an L590axii for my main system and an L550axii for my secondary because I know the SQ is up my al... 
Audio Research VT80SE amp vs Prima Luna EVO 400 or 300
Anyone know how good the VT80SE is?  Is it just a small step below the Ref75se or is it a big gap?  They aren't priced that far apart. 
Anyone heard the new ARC LS28 SE?
OP,Did you ever find out how the various ARC preamps compare?  Did you try any of them? 
looking for a Integrated amp $6,000 range
yy,Be sure to post your thoughts on the comparison between the coda and krell in your best system even if one or either won’t stay there.  
Spendor D9.2 vs Proac D48r
D series have a long break-in time, for sure. Takes the LPZ tweeters hundreds of hours to settle in. Any opinions formed before that time should be put on hold until the speakers are fully broken in (as with all components). 
REL 12" Carbon vs JL Audio 12" Fathom
OP, did you make a decision on REL vs JL? 
Move From AVR to Integrated?
Marantz pm7000n is a true all-in-one with a built in streamer ready made for Tidal, Qobuz, etc., for $999 USD, as another option if you want an all in one box without having to get a separate streamer with the Outlaw. I own one and can strongly re... 
Spendor D9.2 vs Proac D48r
Spendor D series are none of those things (pipe and slipper, etc.) either, even if traditional Spendor (e.g., classic line) might be. Spendor D series is a whole new animal to the old Spendor stereotype, and as owner of D7 and D1 one that hits the... 
Better Amp for Cornwall IV's...
@kfscoll,since CW4 so high efficiency and PL are tube, do you get any noise issues through the speakers or is it dead quiet? 
DAC Choices - $5,000 to $7,000
@cal3713 would same digital cable length suggestion apply to digital coax?Specifically, for digital coax BNC-BNC to provide an external 10MHz clock signal to a DAC?Or not?  Thx in advance if you know, 
Is Carl Bernstein an Audiophile?
If you search "Carl Bernstein room rater," I definitely see a turntable and what (to me) looks like an Audio Research component, although I can't be sure it is, each in an audio rack.  Looks to be a large office environment, possibly a living room... 
PS Audio BHK 250 - Is it still a good amp?
Yes, that is true that the owner did not send his LRS to PSA so they could test. What I am saying is that if the 250 were able to handle the LRS, I suspect PSA would just have purchased LRS, tested, and if positive result reported it on that threa... 
PS Audio BHK 250 - Is it still a good amp?
But there was a problem, and PSA both didn’t dispute and couldn’t explain. The amp was sent in to PSA for exam and possible repair and still repeatedly failed to be able to drive LRS on return.Many on that forum that is monitored by PSA CEO and en...
