| 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... | |

| Thinking of Magnepan ... finally! @willywonka Phone call. The wait time when I ordered mine was approximately 6 mos. I should have them the beginning of July. | |

| Recommendations for modern integrated with tone & balance controls other than Mcintosh @mapman In my large collection of vinyl there are many recordings that sound fine. There are many that do not. Likewise with my CDs and the music I stream. Hence my fondness for tone and other controls as well as an ongoing preference for tube... | |
| Recommendations for modern integrated with tone & balance controls other than Mcintosh @mesch I spoke to Luxman and they seconded my opinion although they did suggest I consider the LX-380 with the caveat that the power of that amp might not be sufficient. Since I already have the Connie J amp, I figured there was no reason to bu... | |
| Recommendations for modern integrated with tone & balance controls other than Mcintosh An update due to a recent successful experiment. On a whim, I connected the Luxman 550-AX II preamp out to a Conrad Johnson 60 wpc EL34/KT77 tube amplifier. This resulted in excellent full-function synergy and is likely very similar to the Luxma... | |
| Thinking of Magnepan ... finally! Dept. of FWIW: Earlier this year I had an Aavik 1-180 at home for evaluation. The amp worked well enough with SF Guarneri Homage speakers, but when paired with Magnepan .7's I found the presentation to be unpalatable. If I had to choose one ad... |
