| Integrateds: Why do they all SUCK? Luxman L-590AX ii. List price of $8,995. None better at that price IMO.My better half wanted a simpler system that was not so intimidating. We went with the Luxman 590AX ii and are enjoying it immensely. | |
| Simaudio vs PS Perfect Wave... Certainly, though I have never heard a Luxman. My budget would have me looking at used for sure. The couple times I have seen one listed, they did not hang around long. Unfortunately, the brand has no physical presence in my area. | |
| Simaudio vs PS Perfect Wave... Hello Jafant,I am going to default to my wife's ears here, but the Arcam CD23 is her choice amongst what we have owned. The Luxman just adds a notch more lusciousness, if that is a worthy description. We have a fairly lively space and have purchas... | |
| Question about buyer action... The buyer just contacted me and explained the A-gon system processed the sale and shipping price together before payment was made via Paypal. So the shipping label was paid for, even though it was attempting to charge me again in order to print it... | |
| Simaudio vs PS Perfect Wave... Thanks in_shore for chiming in. I have been dragging my feet trying to do some cdp auditions. I recently heard a Naim cdx-2 and would like to also listen to a Luxman D-06u, hopefully in my own system. Though I will likely end up recoiling back to ... | |
| DAC break-in... Thank you to everyone for the informing and thought provoking replies.My better half has extremely sensitive ears and will only listen to most stereo music at very moderate levels. Our daughter plays the piano, and son the guitar, so naturally tha... | |
| Simaudio vs PS Perfect Wave... stevecham, thank you for your reply. There are certainly many people on the forum very happy with the PWT. I would only be using it for dedicated CD listening. I have read great things about the build quality of the Sim 260D, prompting me to do a ... | |
| Insight for system build Thank you willemj, I do have the Oppo on my short list, though I have no need for a multi-format player and/or streaming/internet options...not normal I know. I have experience with the HL5's and a 150 watt SS amp. For my situation it was quite ni... | |
| Insight for system build Thanks pdreher...Dedicated lines would be a huge undertaking with my current panel and municipal code situation. I would have to swap the entire panel and bring the residence up to 2014 code including arc fault plugs etc. I am certainly hoping to ... | |
| Herron pre upgrade... Follow up...I did have a conversation with Keith. As always, he provided some good information for me to digest and will be building me a current model 3A. Should anyone have some input for a move up from the Arcam cdp, I would love to hear them. ... | |
| Herron pre upgrade... The Herron 1A pre was my first Herron Product. It has trumped other similar budgeted pre's even through several amp changes. Recently, I made the step to the matching Herron M1A amps. It was a revelation in detail. So much so, I pulled the Arcam C... | |
| Input on speaker sizing for a lively room. Over the last couple months, I have spent a fair amount of time scouring the local audio shops and their inventories. While I live very near a major city that experience was an eye opener and not a good one. So in looking for a more diversified pr... | |
| Input on speaker sizing for a lively room. Some very good information to digest and then reevaluate my goals. Thank you to all who offered up there time for my benefit.Goose...I would have to agree with your Vandy assessment. I was ready to purchase but was just not drawn in like I had hop... | |
| How is a CD read? Almarq...I believe you are correct and that angle went straight over my head, embarrassed to say.I did just receive another fallow up reply from one of the groups associates who was sending another copy my way. Apparently the groups performance wa... | |
| How is a CD read? Rlwainwright...I should have been more clear. Trying to eliminate the preamp from being a factor, I swapped left and right inputs at the pre where the issue then fallowed to the right channel. I have also tried other cables to no avail. I have eve... |
