| Vinyl***What If*** @inna agreed. With a budget of 350, don’t bother. | |
| We are buying and reviewing gear all wrong @bdp24 02-19-2019 7:40am - "Assembling good systems is what being a hi-fi retailer is all about. At least it used to be." bingo! | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Pinback - Blue Screen Life via Tidal (got my Qobuz invite yesterday. will wait as I should have 300 Mbps fiber in the next week or less) | |
| 2019 FL AUDIO EXPO thoughts and perspectives... @blindjim Hey Jim,Sounds like you had a great time. Hopefully it brought some insight into a possible system for you. | |
| Krell XD gear in the House Initial Impressions @audiotroy Will be very interested to read about your impressions of the XD gear with an upgraded DAC.Hoping the trolling is over in this thread. | |
| Alternatives to Stillpoints A friend of mine, GH, turned me on to a much less expensive alternative made out of furniture cups and ball bearings. Bought the parts on Amazon for around $15. They are:Slipstick CB605 Furniture Wheel Caster Cups / Floor Protectors with Non Skid ... | |
| Krell XD gear in the House Initial Impressions @yyzsantabarbara Totally agree. | |
| A new chapter has begun. The ARC Ref6 pre/Ref75 SE are a great match. Heard it a week ago with TAD ME-1s and it is very very good. Also heard with Wilsons (Sabrina and Sasha 2s and Sasha DAW) and that is really good too. Great synergy with those two ARC components. | |

| Luxman Integrated - What do they sound like I've heard a number of Luxman pieces.590AXII is 30W Class @ 8 ohms. Has the classic Class A sound with a nice midrange bloom. Just note it runs out of steam pretty quickly so a fairly efficient speaker is a must IMHO.I like the 507/509 sound bette... | |
| Harbeth Super HL5 Plus speakers & integrated amp pairing recommendations Luxman 509X - Heard that combo a number of times and can say it works very nicely - excellent pairing.Pass Labs would probably work well but would recommend the INT250. Less Class A power but much more authoritative.Good luck. | |
