| Should I buy an SME 30/12A for 15K? It would seem, at that price, you won’t have any difficulty selling it should it not suitably impress once set up in your system. Keep the current set up so you can do a direct comparison and then sell which ever one is the “lesser” rig. Its a... | |
| Advise on buying electronics out of-the country I’ve bought stuff from all around the world. Never had anything go missing, break down or have any kind of lack of customer support. Most recent purchases were circuit boards for a Hiraga Super 30 amp from Jim’s Audio in Honk Kong (Amazing... | |

| Is a highly discerning system enjoyable? @erik_squires Yeah, on vinyl. Been keenly listening to the drums on Talking Heads, and I’m feeling like they, and the percussion are well balanced in the mix? Im now wanting to pull out other live recordings so I can listen to the drums :) ... | |
| Is a highly discerning system enjoyable? @erik_squires I may need to listen to another copy/version. This is sounding very dynamic to me? Perhaps it’s just because I just listened to War previously. Although, I was playing Depeche Mode Delta Machine in between, which has an insane amo... | |
| Is a highly discerning system enjoyable? @erik_squires Too bad. More I think about it, the more it seems like an incomplete idea FWIW, listening to Talking Heads, and it sounds fantastic! Night and day compared to War. | |
| Is a highly discerning system enjoyable? @erik_squires And great, now I have to pull out my copy of stop making sense… Also a 1st UK pressing. | |
| Is a highly discerning system enjoyable? @erik_squires Could be so very much better sounding. I get the raw quality to the production. But there is something very engaging by the layering of the sounds in the mix. So that kind of brings the raw quality of the production into question, ... | |
| Is a highly discerning system enjoyable? Got home after a few days away. Yes, got my copy of War out and listened to it on the current set up. So much missing in the production. Preferred it in the car… Tried listening to it on two different systems. My main set up, as well as on a vi... | |
| Is a highly discerning system enjoyable? @erik_squires Funny you should bring up U2 War. Always loved that record, until I bought a first UK pressing of it. Realized that I’d only ever listened to it in a car, when the tracks happened to show up on the radio. Worked so well in the ca... | |
| Luxman 590AX II Break-In Similar set up to you. I have a 30W Class A amp (DIY Hiraga Super 30 W), which is driving a pair of Seas Coax book shelf speakers. (DIY Sealed 5Ltr enclosure using the C16N001/F driver - Seas recommended enclosure and crossover) Room is 12,x18’ ap... | |
| Luxman 590AX II Break-In As a basic test, and to get a base point for positioning your speakers, go to the Cardas site and put the room specs into the calculator and try repositioning the speakers using that first. Its by no means a perfect solution, as there are so many... | |
| Custom Tuning Conspiracy Speaker is sounding a bit soft around 40hz. Bass is blooming a bit much. Male vocals are recessed, while brass instruments are a bit forward. There is an annoying ringing in the upper register of the piano, very bright. Cymbals are lacking air.... | |
| I have found out why new cables and tweaks actually work! I’ve taken the opposite approach. The new “Sonidust”, works wonders at softening, and warming up your audio experience. Amazing product, containing a carefully curated collection of dust and hair. Simply grab a handful, sprinkle behind your ste... |
