New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2
A.T.Im from New Jersey Einstein.  Only reason values are high in Jersey City is because of NYC being so close by. If you put lipstick on a pig its still a pig and thats Jersey City...And Newark/Elizabeth...one big toxic waste dump. I bet you don't... 
New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2
A.T.  didnt even know the name of AVANTE GARDE in his initial post about AXPONA. Probably the first dealer I have run across that never heard of them. Then again...anybody that would set up shop in Jersey City which is the armpit of NJ obviously h... 
why so many gryphon diablo 300 integrated for sale now?
I know a few people that went from Gryphon 300 to either the Luxman 509 or 590 Models because they are warmer sounding. Some find the Gryphon to be Neutral to Dark sounding. Its all a matter of taste as always. 
price of Oppo players threw the roof
Gene,OPPO announced MANY MANY Months ago like 7 or 8 that there were no more being shipped.  
Oppo 205 guagers selling used units for twice the price...
Sealed ones are still getting 3K or slightly more. I moved one about 3-4 weeks ago for 3K+ 
Going linear - The Luxman 507ux
I have 2 Friends using the 590 with Harbeth 40.2 (86DB) and Aerial Acoustics 5T (87DB) with great success. What model speakers are you using that are harder to drive than those?? 
Luxman 509X vs Mc452 + preamp
That 30 W is enough to drive 86DB Speakers with ease as I have heard in 2 other systems. What speakers are you using that cant be driven by the 590??

I prefer to have Multiple setups so that it can accommodate the different styles of music I listen to. Obviously AC/DC and Dan Fogelberg aren't going to sound equally compelling if your limited to one lineup of amps/speakers. You put the "Soft" st...

I can live with 3 watts...depends on what Speakers you have. Those 30 Watts are misleading as you will find out if you do your homework.Jetter...Never used the Pass. Came in a Bulk Deal. Person I got it from (original owner) used it with the Lux 9...

I wont be using a 590 unless I get too weak to carry the 100 pound amps around (Which could be any day now). My current inventory is:Dag 400 Monos, ARC 160M Monos, ARC REF 10, Audio Note Jinro, Ayre KX-R Twenty, Pass Labs XA-25, Luxman C900/M900.....

Might want to try the Luxman 590AXII. Several people I know have switched from the 509 to the 590 which has more of the CLASS A traits....Warmer/sweeter, better highs etc.  The 509 Mirrors the M900 Amps where the 590 is closer to the M800A profile... 
Benchmark AHB2 Amplifier, opinions and competition
There was a review I read on the AHB2 that compared it to the Chord TToby. I have NEVER even heard of this Chord amp and yet according to this reviewer I think I would prefer it as its Warmer/Sweeter etc.  I cant even find a review of this Chord a... 
Luxman 509X vs Mc452 + preamp
Why are you choosing the 509X which has very little Class A over the 590AXII? I know numerous people who jumped on the 509X Hype train only to switch to the 590AXII later. I would never go back to Mcintosh after hearing Luxman/Dagostino/ARC etc  I... 
Another new DAC: Audio Mirror
My buddy just ordered the Tubador with every possible upgrade...around $2200.  When I get his "review" I will jump on the bandwagon if its a stellar report. 
MORE Esoteric problems
As an owner of the Esoteric K-01X 30th Anniversary model I can say without hesitation I would never buy another Esoteric. The Dac pales in comparison to the Luxman D-08U. Esoteric is highly overrated as a Disc Player. The Chord Dave/Blu2 Combo als...
