| Speaker Cable Recommendations - Under 2k If you'd like to do a very inexpensive experiment try finding some Furez 12 or 14 AWG and assemble a pair yourself. Talk about ROI.... | |
| Power cord length An old friend of mine-a very talented audio engineer-a guy who has been designing and building A-List tube and ss gear since the 1980’s-told me that without question, the most important specs for any power cord is that it be minimum 14AWG, and lon... | |
| Help. System sounds thin and bright or harsh @audioguy85 But, but, what if buying new and different stuff doesn't fix anything? | |
| Help. System sounds thin and bright or harsh @raysmtb1 I don't know who "runs the Internet" but there are indeed fluctuations in the quality of the music I get out of my streamer depending on day and time | |
| Help. System sounds thin and bright or harsh @cymivka "I'm itchin for a new front end..dac and MAYBE transport." That could be the ticket. | |
| Help. System sounds thin and bright or harsh Schitt Audio has a few inexpensive passive EQ devices. I use Roon, which conveniently has a built-in DSP function. Guaranteed to ameliorate audiophile angst and make listening a lot more fun. 😁 A more costly, but effective device is the DSpea... | |
| Help. System sounds thin and bright or harsh I suspect it’s the room. Throwing money at cables, other speakers, and so forth, seems ill-advised. And don’t some audiophiles just LOVE to spend lots of money in in their pursuit of Nirvana? Perhaps contacting one of the acoustic panel companies... | |
| When were the best tube amps made? My now-departed MFA separates were certainly a joy to listen to. Over the years the mono amps and Luminescence preamp were significantly upgraded a few times, yielding even more musical enjoyment. I reluctantly sold those components due to their... | |
| Luxman 590AX II Break-In OP’s solution is likely more economical than building a new home with a properly designed, dedicated listening room, as tempting as that option might be. | |
| Luxman 590AX II Break-In @jeffreyw Thanks very much for the update. As I said, I find your thread quite interesting and informative as well. Since I have a fair amount of experience with Sonus Faber monitors, and because they not only generally sound good, they genera... | |
| Luxman 590AX II Break-In @erik_squires OP alluded to his WAF regarding the KEFs. I believe Mrs. OP very much likes the way the speakers look. A big plus for Mr. OP. :) This is an interesting thread. I’m tuned in until OP reveals the resolve. | |
| Luxman 590AX II Break-In @jeffreyw Are you buying the more powerful amp and if so, what will you do for a preamp? Glad you’ve now heard sufficient bass through those KEF’s. May you be able to hear that bass at home. :) | |

| Luxman 590AX II Break-In @jeffreyw Many here have suggested the problem is room/speaker interface. It’s entirely possible or maybe even likely in your situation. As an example, Some years ago, I had a pair of Chapman T7 3-way floor-standers, which sounded wonderful in ... | |
| Luxman 590AX II Break-In @jeffreyw Does your wife like the way the system sounds now? Does she love music? Does she listen critically? I'm asking with utmost respect. My wife has phenomenal hearing but she never sits down in front of our hifi system to listen critica... |
