| How long do speakers last? I have a pair of Mirage M760s I purchased as demos in 1986. They are still in pristine condition and sound fantastic. | |
| Luxman L590AX vs.590AXii @abd1 I went with the XA-25 because I already have a history the FirstWatt F6 and I got to listen to the Pass on a set up similar to mine. Price was also a factor as was availability. For speakers I have used Focal Kanta No.2s, Moth Audio Cicada... | |
| Luxman L590AX vs.590AXii @abd1 An L-590AXll recently sold for less than $7K on USAM. There is an L-550AXll available now on the same site for $5400. Reverb has an L-550AX 120v US version for $3000. Ebay has all versions available from $3K but are shipped from Japan. If ... | |
| I Was Stunned @roxy54 I never guessed the rack between my speakers would have an impact. I had a stack of 4 pieces of gear on a pangea rack. I spent hours getting the speakers just right. I sold a couple of the pieces and set the remaining gear up on a small ... | |
| I want more bass… FWIW...A set of Rogue M-180s with a Rogue RP-7 pre could drive my Focal Kanta No.2s to some amazing floor shaking base. No subs, no tone control or equalization. | |
| DAC/Pre-Amp Advice @chuck_tamu I have the C-658 and have been using it for a year or so. I currently use it with a FirstWatt F6 as a streamer, DAC, phono stage (MM cart) and believe it to be the best bang for the buck out there. I also have the HDMI card installed... | |

| End Game Turntable suggestions @musicmatters1206 IMHO...there is a tremendous amount of great info here. As far as the 1601 goes I am extremely happy. I agree with all of the wonderful design concepts from the point of what they contribute to the ultimate sound of the vinyl. Ho... | |
| Luxman L590AX vs.590AXii So, I found an L-590AXll on this site for $5200. Only caveat is I will need a step down transformer. Now I am on the hunt for one worthy of this Luxman. Thanks and Merry Christmas to all that input their ideas and opinions. Or Happy Holidays if ... | |
| End Game Turntable suggestions I use a Thorens TD-1601 with an Ortofon Cadenza Blue running through a Hegel V-10. To me this sounds fantastic. The arm lifts and the unit shuts down after the album side is done. The other feature that is/was important to me is the easily adjusta... | |

| Luxman L590AX vs.590AXii @erik_squires @mesch I ordered a pair of Tekton DIs to run with my FirstWatt F6. The F6 did a decent job with my Focal Kanta No.2 speakers. I am confident the 590AXll will run the Focals very well. I was concerned about the 590AX. Perhaps my co... |
