Luxman 509x vs Hegel H390
Another guy preferred the Krell K300 to the Coda and he owned both. I don’t know but think the Coda looks better.

Luxman 509x vs Hegel H390
I’m sure the Hegel is fantastic and great build quality before I get berated. Very understated look.  
Luxman 509x vs Hegel H390
The Luxman just looks like such a piece! Not of s..t. Haha. Heirloom quality and the  Hegel looks like a Denon home theater receiver. That being said if sound quality equal Luxman all day.   
When someone tells you it's a $40,000 amp, does it sound better?
Did I say I thought people that bought 40k amps had small listening rooms? The big 40k amps normally have enormous current reserves and crazy power ratings. I was just saying at lower levels or in a smaller room there would be less of a difference... 
Is there such a thing as a FOREVER DAC/streamer?
Forever of course not. Knock it out of the ballpark of course not. It’s digital 0s and 1s. Different …. Sure. Small differences from a .5k dac to a 5k dac. Not saying the differences aren’t there but knock your socks off I personally do not believ...

I totally think expectation bias and looks has a huge play. I also believe a 40k amp sounds better than a 5k amp on average. When get into the 20k plus range it’s probably more about looks than sound quality. low volume for smallish room I think ... 
What do you do when you inherit some gear that you don’t want.
Disagree. The Personas IMO are outstanding. Finicky yes probably. Just heard a demo and was pretty much gobsmacked.   
$1499 gets you to Nirvana?
Few years ago I bought a Rogue Sphinx based off reviews. Got sold very quickly.

1499 used can get you close maybe. That said it’s not impossible, haven’t heard this particular amp.

If you want to take the optical out of your tv into a dac I would suggest spending 150 bucks on an ifi ipurifier. Optical from tv is pretty crappy and this will help clean it up for pretty cheap. Makes a definite audible difference in my setup. Yo...

I’ve had good luck both buying and selling off marketplace. I feel it’s a little safer than Craigslist but I have done that also.   
Sansui Au9500 - Leave it on?
I have 2 service records and quite a few things were swapped out like 5 years ago. I need to pop the top and look for any bulging caps etc with my limited knowledge. Pretty cool have original manuals and marketing material they showcased at dealer...
