| Speakers That Won't Sound Too Smooth Or Soft with Luxman L-590AXII I had the L-550AXII and own the 595ASE. The 590 and 595 are more alike than different.

It was A/B compared to a highly modifies Orchid with a 7308 CCA tube. The two were more alike than different and felt it would be a sid... | |
| Your first concert was to see who and when? I guess technically, fall of 1978, Mahogany Rush at a high school sock hop. But the first live convert that really affected me was Chicago at Chicago's Navy Pier in the summer of 1980. | |

| Replacement/upgrade for Bluesound and Chord Mojo 2 streamer/external DAC combo @sadbird If PD Creative supports either 2.1 or 2.5mm DC plugs then perhaps the supplied cable from ZEROZONE will work. It has been a number of years since working with the PD Creative board and perhaps my recollection was off or they are now using... | |
| Replacement/upgrade for Bluesound and Chord Mojo 2 streamer/external DAC combo @nothelle Installed the LHY audio kit, now i understand all the praises of changing the power supply unit out of the bluenode. Give the board some time to burn in. It will improve. Enjoy! | |

| New cartridge vs. Re-tipped I had a Denon DL103 with a missing cantilever. I sent it off to an independent re-tipper who had great feedback. The upgraded cart I got back was transformed to another level. There are good re-tippers out there. | |
| New cartridge vs. Re-tipped Like @dwette said. And try and do some research on your specific case. Who did the re-tip? If you can find out, read reviews of their work. |
