| DHL and the definiton of insanity I always have value items sent to work for the same reasons. Although our doors get locked at 4pm and I don’t usually answer calls that I’m unfamiliar with. A DHL delivery was turned away a while back for this reason. I went on line and was abl... | |
| Waiting on Townshend Fractal speaker cables (and any other Townshend products) There was always a lag in shipping from when I ordered them to when they shipped for the different products I have purchased from Townshend. The F1 speaker cables took the longest - about 3 weeks to ship. But John was always able to give a f... | |
| If you have a CD Player, you need to do this periodically... +1 on the system cleanse benefits the Isotek disc performs on my systems. While we are talking about it demagnetizing CDs impacts a noticable improvement to the sound quality as well. | |
| Shipping from UK to US +2 on DHL | |
| 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... |
