| Which Room is Best Between These Two So this is the square room configuration.https://amcoustics.com/tools/amroc?l=338&w=333&h=244&r60=0.6And this is the rectangular room configuration.https://amcoustics.com/tools/amroc?l=401&w=282&h=244&r60=0.6Both just outsi... | |
| Bi Wiring Speakers from Luxman L-509X Lots of great input which I expected. To answer one comment above, the primary reason for this question at all is cost. Two full pairs of cables is more expensive than one. At this expense I don’t want to get down the road and find it was not a go... | |
| Power cord supplied with Luxman L-509X Integrated Amp I found the power cord choice for my 509 to be very influential, and critical, to get the most out of it. | |
| Absolute Polarity Switch @tommylion - Your post mirrors exactly the same circumstances for my systems, with the exception that each of my two systems have a switch built in for phase. One is an Aesthetix Calypso preamp and the other is a Luxman 509 integrated. I ended up... | |
| My Last CD player Nothing wrong with the Yamaha, in fact some of my recent SACD's of symphonic music have shocked me at how good digital could be. Bes at Music Direct personally delivered it and for now it sits on my dining room table until I figure out where to... | |
| Favorite Guitar Solo I was going to post but @Noromance already listed it so I’ll second it. Roger Waters - Dogs (with Snowy White and Doyle Bramhall ll) Doyle Bramhall II plays David Gilmour better than David Gilmour. I’m not sure why but it’s even more mesmerizing ... | |
| Schumann generators: placebo or...? Maybe you received a faulty unit. The ones I run have a blue LED indicator light that glows when they are plugged in. | |
| Sending a 110 lb amp to the manufacturer for cleaning/calibration. Good idea? How to ship? Road trip seems like an easy decision for an end game component. I've travelled further to avoid shipping for several purchases, mostly larger speakers(90# each in the first instance and 110# each in another) since they are the most prone to dama... | |
| Parasound a21 upgrades I have been an A21 owner for about 9 years now, lthough I upgraded two years ago to a Plinius SA-103. It was almost three times the cost of a good used A21 at the time and still well under your future budget. Even though the SA-103 can be switche... | |
| AR LS17SE Volume Control George,Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately the NAD M51 left last year. Otherwise that would be a great choice. I did consider passive preamps when I found the LS17SE but I wasn't dialed into the gain balance concern. That explains a lot. ... | |
| AR LS17SE Volume Control John,I shared the same concern as you experienced regarding the sonic signature they would introduce to the system. Everything has an influence and I can't imagine a simple device such as this being very positive sonically. My next step is proba... | |
| AR LS17SE Volume Control Speakers are Dynaudio S1.4LE at 85db sensitivity. So not the speakers. The amp is an Edge M8m at 30,000 ohms input impedance single ended only. The LS17SE is 350 ohms output impedance single ended. That is an 85:1 ratio. Impedance matching wa... | |
| Compatibility between preamp and amps Output impedance of preamp to input impedance of amplifier is the biggest concern. There is a minimum ratio that plays well together. I have an Aesthetix Calypso with 1000 ohm output impedance which was not enough to make the Edge M8m amp with 3... | |
| A deeper more holographic soundstage. I found this video from Dynaudio on speaker placement helpful. As much as you would think it intuitive, this helped me a lot. I know it is basic but, to me, it helps to have technical objective explanation of what is going on which this video do... | |
| Preamp for under $400 with tone/bass adjustment? You can find a Parasound P3 used in that price range. |
