| When someone tells you it's a $40,000 amp, does it sound better? I find it humorous that some a’philes seem to think that the pursuit of reproduced musical sound is some kind of contest. As in big swingin’ D***S. "Mine is bigger/better than yours." We’re approaching the winter holidays, and I thought of a cert... | |
| When someone tells you it's a $40,000 amp, does it sound better? @mahlman I like to put the question of "what is art?" into the same folder as "what is love?" | |
| When someone tells you it's a $40,000 amp, does it sound better? "Pop the lid?" As a mere mortal, somehow $40,000 dollars of "truth inside" does not compute. I have no way of qualifying nor quantifying this assertion. I'm a mere mortal with adequate but not "deep" pockets. However, I do have a sense of how... | |
| When someone tells you it's a $40,000 amp, does it sound better? Every time I listen to my Luxman Class A integrated I tell myself it's a $40,000 amp and by gawd, it does indeed sound even better. | |
| How much faster of a sub is the REL T5X vs SVS SB12-NSD I just purchased a pair of REL T5x and like @Pooch2, I was very pleasantly surprised at how easy they are to set up and dial in.. The REL’s work wonderfully with either my upgraded/modded MMG’s or Sonus Faber monitors. Integration with either the ... | |
| Recommendations for modern integrated with tone & balance controls other than Mcintosh @builder3 Thank you very much. I should mention that two of the things I find so appealing about the Luxman, in addition to SQ, are the excellent build quality and retro aesthetics. The on-unit controls as well as the remote control are pure ... | |
| Recommendations for modern integrated with tone & balance controls other than Mcintosh @wheelndeal1099 Thank you for your comments. I purchased a LUX 550 AXii and am completely happy. It’s one heckuva component and works beautifully when paired with either my Guarneri Homage or highly-modified Magneplanar MMG’s. I’ve never heard ... | |
| The new dynamic in speaker pricing I don't know if there's a "new dynamic" in speaker pricing or not. What I do know is that there are some consumers who are able and willing to pay "whatever." | |
| Integrated amp for Sonus Faber olympica nova 1 +1 for Pathos. +1 for dekay, but I'd suggest even darker glasses. Good luck, OP. | |
| Any Conrad Johnson CAV-45 S1 or S2 owners? Obviously I am very late to this thread, but since I recently have acquired a CAV 45-S2, I’d like to say that paired with Guarneri Homage speakers the CJ is simply wonderful. | |
| Recommendations for modern integrated with tone & balance controls other than Mcintosh @ joekapahulu Thank you sir. I wish you success in navigating the world of finance. The more I use the Lux 550AXii the fonder I grow. I'm a visual and tactile person as well as as a "keen listener," and the Luxman delivers for me at every lev... | |
| Bookshelf vs diffuser panel. Who wins? The appropriate terminology is what rather than who wins. | |
| McIntosh C12000 Oh the ignominy. | |
| Original Sonus faber cremona auditor again? I’m with @ghdprentice, except my SF’s are a pair of original Guarneri Homage, circa 2004. Endgame. | |
| A rookie with 10K, seeking advise @llid2 I have not read every post in this thread, but have you identified the areas of your present system that you feel need improvement? Kindly allow me to share a recent, and very fortuitous learning experience. After many years of "going it... |
