whats the best pre amp to pair with Bryston 4b cubed? A
I'm using a 3B Cubed w/a Luxman CL38U SE tube preamp. Excellent combo.   
New Luxman 507Z Integrated coming in October.
From what my dealer told me there will be an updated version of the 590AXii. They will use some of the internal upgrades from the Class A 595 SE integrated. Also look for the TT's to return. They are in the process of designing their own tonearm t... 
inexpensive phono pre amp
Second thumbs up for the Lounge Audio LCRIII.👍  
Confused on should I Bi-Wire or Bi-Amp??
I have the speaker cable. Found a pair of Tellurium Q cables. But I need a balanced adapter cable. I'm going to see my dealer tomorrow I'm looking to get the Tributaries 4ft 4 aby-fmm. Should be interesting when I can get full use of my amp.  
2 vs 8 tubes in preamp, sound difference?
The Conrad-Johnson ET6 and ET7 sound fine w/just one 6922 tube.  
Integrated Amplifiers - Luxman vs Pass Labs
The 590AXII has been discontinued. A new version is coming out in the future w/many of the upgrades of the 595SE. I heard the 595 back in November at my local dealers store. Jeff Sigmund of Luxman America was there demoing the integrated w/a pair ... 
Do you use a preamp in your HT system to improve sound?
I use 2 preamps w/out HT pass through. W/my Bryston 3B Cubed I hook up my balanced connections from my amp to my Krell Showcase processor and w/the single ended connections I power my Luxman CL 38U SE tube preamp. All I do is flip the balanced and... 
Luxman 590AXII Discontinued??
Probably some of the upgrades in the 595 will be added in the new 590. Also the Luxman PD 171A TT and the PD 151 TT has been discontinued on Music Direct. Jeff Sigmund was at my dealers store last month and he said the company was working on a new... 
Any thoughts on the Luxman PD 171
The 171 has been discontinued. But if one is out there it's an excellent TT. I own one w/a Dyavector Karat 17DX.   
Turntables that are still made in Japan?
Luxman just discontinued the PD 171-A and they are re-doing the 151. They are making their own tonearm w/the demise of Jelco. They have been doing Anniversary specials so maybe a direct drive TT is in the works.  
Brian Eno's Turntable Design
In the new Music Direct catalogue Mo-Fi has a limited edition Fender TT. I think it's much more attractive..   
Tube Preamps that work well with SS amps?
Luxman CL38U-C I use it w/a Bryston 3B Cube.  
Recommendations for speakers with Luxman 509x
The 509X goes great w/a wide range of speakers. I've heard the Luxman w/Aerials, Paradigm Personas, Harbeth, Spendor, Kef Blade 2's, Focal Sopras and Sonner. Lots of choices.  
"warm" solid state integrated amplifier
You can go with either the Luxman 550 AXII or the 590AXII depending onnyour budget. Both are excellent.  
All NEW Klipsch Jubilee Horn Speakers !... Game Changer ?...
Very impressive even though it wasn't an ideal room. The reason the speakers were in that room was the larger rooms are on the third floor. Couldn't imagine hauling them up three flights of narrow stairs. Excellent dynamics and the bass didn't ove...
