| I was recently introduced to this musician, so I am sharing Outstanding. I bought this album off bandcamp soon after listening to him on YT. This truly makes my day. Thanks for sharing. | |
| Intergrated If you are going to stay with the speakers, I would opt for which amp outputs the most current at the 4-ohm ratings. I don’t know if they dip much below that at lower frequencies. I had the 509Z and absolutely loved the amp. Luxman rates the 507Z ... | |
| The Low Volume Loudness Dilemma The loudness control on my Luxman 509z worked very well for this problem. | |
| Next step up on the streaming food chain? I owned the G1.1 and G2.1, both excellent units. However, I now use an Aurender A20. In a different league with this gear. | |
| Power Amplifier - Maximum Resolution & Detail! The Luxman M10x is outstanding. However, I am surprised the Ayre Acoustics get no mention yet. Their VX-R Twenty is equal to the Luxman and if you really want to get there the MX-R monoblocs paired with KX-R Twenty preamp is hard to beat. I am ver... | |

| High end bookshelf speakers for Small room I have a 509Z paired with these: Fritz Carrera BE Specifications (fritzspeakers.com) Call Fritz and ask his recommendation. I gave up my Harbeth SHL5s for these and am not looking back. I also use an Aurender A20 for streaming/DAC. My analogue sy... | |

| Fritz Carrera 7 Be and 300B power amp? Late to the party but I use a Luxman SQ-10 with these speakers. All I can say is WOW!!! If using the onboard MM phono preamp or my Whest for MC the sound is outstanding. I also use an Aurender N20 for streaming and a Yamaha CD-S1000 as a transpor... | |
| Recommendations for really well-recorded music for high-end audio system demo IMHO the 3 following recordings by Donald Fagan, regardless of media, are outstanding Nightfly Morph The Cat Kamakiriad | |
| Those rare albums that are great on first listen. Nils Lofgren - Acoustic Live Eagles - When Hell Freezes Over Donald Fagan - The Nightfly Al DiMeola - Elegant Gypsy The Rolling Stones - Beggars Banquet Little Feat - Waiting For Columbus Every Zeppelin Album | |
| Seeking Bookshelf Recommendations @larsman +1 I have the same speakers running with a Luxman 509Z. Outstanding speakers. You can get them from Fritz on a 30 day trial basis. If you are not pleased you can send them back. Fritz Carrera BE Specifications (fritzspeakers.com) Mine... | |
| Should Speaker Manufactures provide a Frequency Response Graph? @deep_333 +1 The most important graph for me is the Impedance & Phase vs frequency graph. I want to know if my amp needs to drive 2 ohm loads with a difficult phase angle. I believe it to be the most important data when choosing a power amp.... | |
| Luxman L-509X as a preamp @erik_squires To be honest, there was nothing I didn't like about the Ayre pre/amp pairing. The sound was amazing. Likely the best set up I ever owned. However, I was looking for an integrated. I had a Boulder 866 which was very good but there w... | |
| Luxman L-509X as a preamp @erik_squires I ended up selling the Ayre gear (outstanding stuff by the way) and buying a new Luxman L-509Z in September 2023. I paired it with an Aurender A20 streamer/DAC. I also run a Thorens TD-1601 TT with an Ortofon Cadenza Blue cartridge... |
