| New Luxman 507Z Integrated coming in October. Luxman is still assembling their Class A 550AXII. I ordered one a couple of weeks ago. It's the 590 that they've discontinued. | |
| Audio Research I/50 @malibu457 ah, but how does it sound? +1 | |
| After years of separates, I'm going integrated. Anyone else do the same? Now that I'm "on a separates roll" maybe I'll even go from my tube integrated to a Luxman with built-in DAC card. :). Then it's just 3 components: The Lux, the CDP, and the TT. One less set of IC's, and no spare tubes. @bigtex22, ain't clea... | |
| After years of separates, I'm going integrated. Anyone else do the same? I finally sold my wonderful tube separates. It was a decision that I considered for at least two years, one which I finally made. The upside is that I greatly prefer the cleaner and simpler appearance of my listening room. The ease of operation an... | |
| “Faithful to the recording” Here are a couple more meaningless pieces of hype: "jaw-dropping", "gobsmacked" IMO, reproduced music is at best, a close approximation to the "real thing." To me, the real thing is live music of any genre. Fortunately, I now have a few friends... | |
| “Faithful to the recording” @lordmelton How' bout "neutral?" :) | |
| “Faithful to the recording” And then there are these words from some audiophile junkie "Hearing what the artist(s) intended..." 😁 | |
| Connecting monoblock tube amps to single subwoofer. There are but two kinds of people in this and other worlds, the yup's and the nope's | |
| Connecting monoblock tube amps to single subwoofer. ieales 953 posts 03-31-2022 at 06:41am I figured REL knows their products a lot better than I do. @ ieales: Possibly. *********** Oh no sir, Not "possibly" but absolutely. I can assure you that REL does indeed know their produc... | |
| I miss my Loudness Button and Tone Controls.... OP: Just go for it. It's your room, your ears, and what you prefer your music to sound like. I bet even the basic Loki would do you just fine. Good luck, and the heck with self-styled "purists." There is are endless variables on the user end. ... | |
| McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer Does anyone really think that McIntosh gives even one tiny flea fart about Mr. Mikey? :) | |
| Connecting monoblock tube amps to single subwoofer. When I was running a pair of mono tube amps, the tech I contacted at REL was adamant that I run my single T5 in mono, from a single amp only. The red and yellow wire twisted together and attached to the 8-ohm speaker tap and the black wire to the ... | |
| 1 piece of audio gear I really regret selling is.. Pathos Classic MKIII hybrid integrated. | |
| I miss my Loudness Button and Tone Controls.... I subscribe to the old "if it sounds good it is good" approach. Otherwise, what's the point of pursuing this often wild and crazy hobby? :) Oh, one other suggestion, although it's more costly than the Loki, is the DSPeaker Anti-Mode 2.0. Dual Co... | |
| McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer Buy a Mc and don't look back -just enjoy the music. Do any of you guys analyze the acoustic properties in a concert hall instead of simply listening to the orchestra? That Dylan line comes to mind: "Nothing is better, nothing is best...." Oh, b... |
