| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. @4krow I believe most of the Japanese integrated amps have tone controls: Luxman, Accuphase and the newer Yamahas. I am a fan personally, my vintage Kenwood sounds so good. There is definitely something undeniably cool about switches, knobs and le... | |
| Budget hi-fi and vintage audio gear I was in the same boat recently, honestly I just like the look of vintage gear and wanted one for my bedroom system. I took a look at the specs for your speaker. You can get what I got, a serviced/recapped Kenwood KA 5700 Integrated Amplifier.Stun... | |
| Luxman L590AXii vs Accuphase E-650 for a Shindo lover Yeah, probably not a good idea to leave a Class A amp on all the time. Buy a Class A/B amp for that. | |
| Q for any Luxman L-509X owners Ok thanks guys. I have Legacy Signature SEs and the Luxman is on my short list for a SS integrated to purchase. | |
| Q for any Luxman L-509X owners slightly off topic, what speakers do you guys use with it, and how does the amp sound? | |
| beginner seperate system Primaluna tube integrated amps are within your budget. Some one also mentioned a Bob Carver tube amp here 275 Crimson which is 75 watts per channel and going for $2500, that would drive those Focals very well. But you'd also need to pair it with a... | |
| Compact DAC + Amp I had tower speakers and a Dehavilland pre with a Macintosh 250 wpc solid state in a tiny studio at Fort Greene.But I am a bit nuts.I'd suggest at least getting a good integrated amp (with an internal dac) and putting it on the floor under the TV.... | |
| Follow-up to my question some weeks ago about an amp for Dynaudio Contour 20s I believe I recall that thread, system synergy is a real thing. Dyns need proper current capability and a lot of the modern SS amps actually do not provide that, I learned the hard way pairing Dyns and a Peachtree Decco (50 wpc) which sounded ver... | |
| Full range tower speakers with bass under $10k Legacy Audio Signature SE, usable bass down to 22Hz. | |
| New favorite VINYL Album? Recent re-issue of Talking Timbuktu by Ali Farka Toure and Ry Cooder.Anything by Nicolaas Jaar. | |
| Replacement for DeHavilland Ultraverve Yes, you should definitely try Ayre. Their devices are amazing. | |
| Tube info But none of the European brands are cheap... | |
| Replacement for DeHavilland Ultraverve Checking the manual, nope it doesn't have mono or phase reversal, assuming you are talking about a button that will bridge the outputs? | |
| Tube info Japanese NOS like NEC are very good.....basically no noise that i can discern, and cheap. Of course NOS RCA 5814A as well. | |
| Replacement for DeHavilland Ultraverve Cool it worked out. I loved my dehaviland and replaced that with an Ayre K5xeMP which was better. They are both amazing preamps however. |
