| Luxman leaves me wanting As brother ghdprentice said, and speaking from extensive experience with a Luxman 550AXII, the word "sparkly" is an apt descriptor. The Lux offers a lot for the money, and I enjoyed that amp quite a bit. But ultimately decided to delegate solid st... | |
| What is meant exactly by the description 'more musical'? The word "musical" as used by audio buffs is a subjective adjective generally understood to mean "x,y, or z sounds good to me" See "organic." Antonym: "unmusical. | |
| Conrad Johnson CAV45-S2 8 ohm? 4 ohm? Other? CJ does indeed use new production Mullard EL34. | |
| Integrated Amplifier for Sonus Faber Guarneri Evolution Anecdotes and hyperbole. Caveat emptor. | |
| Why Can't Modern Tube Manufacturers Make a Proper Tube? "In classical rhetoric and logic begging the question or assuming the conclusion is an informal fallacy that occurs when an argument’s premises assume the truth of the conclusion. A question-begging inference is valid, in the sense that the conclu... | |
| Lush and Romantic Tube Amps Can anyone provide a working definition of "neutral?" In other words, a point from which we can agree is indeed sonically neutral? Atmas-Phere Wrote: Neutral equipment makes no editorial of the signal. The Absolute Sound magazine gets its... | |

| Synthesis Amplifiers: One of High End's Best Kept Secrets? Subscribed. My biggest concerns about Synthesis are the awkward biasing procedure, and reliability. The dealer is many kilometers away. I’m presently running conrad johnson tube pre and amp but I keep toying with the idea of an "endgame" (hah!) ... | |
| Any High End Tube Preamps with *gasp tone controls? I think this recent review in TAS by the illustrious Dr. Robert Greene is well worth reading even if you are not interested in purchasing the $1500 Schiit EQ component. I found it illuminating and educational on a number of levels. https://www.th... | |
| Magnapan LRS+ VS .7 @lrlacosse By now you understand that unless you can bring Magnepans out into the room at least 3' you'll be missing most of what they do so well. My listening room is close in size to yours. I've had MMGs , then .7's, and now LRS+. I prefer t... | |
| Magnepan LRS+ which amps do you use ? * 100 watts or less ** Luxman 550 AXII makes my LRS+ sing. It ain't all about wattage. | |
| The best speaker cables you’ve had Furez : An absolute giant-killer as much of a cliche’ that is. A well-known audiophile friend of mine was incredulous at how good this ridiculously inexpensive wire is. Unfortunately, Furez has gone out of business. | |

| Experience with Luxman L-550 AXII @jbhiller I will say that the Lux 550AXII is here to say unless, unless, I go for a Pass Integrated. The Luxman functionality alone is mighty compelling as are build quality, reliability, country of origin, aesthetics, and resale value. Another ... | |
| Experience with Luxman L-550 AXII I have the 550AX II and would say that the phono stage is excellent. Given my listening tastes and background as a musician, I do not find the amp to be "warm-sounding," especially when compared to the various tube components I’ve owned over the y... |
