| What Integrated Amp do You use Luxman 550ax2 20watt class a more than enough for my tannoys.... Effortless tireless musical greatness... Wonder sometimes if 590s 30 watt would open stuff more but spending the money on music instead. Phono stage very good too | |
| CDP or DAC? I listen to cheaper vinyl rig rega RP8 with apheta MC... But now get same enjoyment from cd listening to pro-ject rs2 cd box transport £2k with chord qutest DAC (which I had already for streamer) ... Although the pro-ject DAC allows IS2 hdmi Conne... | |

| To Harbeth or not to Harbeth, That is the question... Not sure Harbeth in US is value for money... I would go Devore first. In fact if they were cheap in UK I wouldn't have bothered with the 30.2 I had. Now have tannoy dual concentric and I couldn't be happier. 2.5 yrs now and never feel like I am mi... | |
| Best Preamp and Amp combination, interesting finding!!! I went from a great Tron amplifier... Smaller bespoke UK maker into SS power amp... Was going to get a great Radford power amp... But changed my mind and got a Luxman integrated. I tried the tron into this using Luxman as power amp only and then a... | |
| pro-ject cd box rs2 vs jays audio cd2 mk3 The project also has the ability to use external power supply the 4 way or 1 way. I picked up 4 way off ebay for 200 which was half the new price for 1 way and I get any more project rs or rs2 stuff I have power supply upgrade already | |

| A phenomenal new CD transport-Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 transport I bought a rs2 cd box the OP spoke of...It is beyond sublime... I always thought my rega RP8 was best in my system even compared to my sacd player.. Then got the rs2 cd box playing into the same chord qutest... Now here (or should that be hear) is... | |
| Need a DAC Recommendation. Chord qutest or mojo... Chord do their own DAC chip it is the closest I can get my streaming to my $4k vinyl rig plus it allows USB, bnc coax and optical inputs... It also has further filters to subtly adjust the sound if your set up to analytical... | |

| SLOT LOADING CD MECHANISMS - DO THE DAMAGE CD'S? I bought a project rs2... Beyond superb. Rather unbelievably the cd layer of a hybrid SACD sounds better of the rs2 than the sacd layer sounds on my Arcam SACD.I'm hitting charity shops buying cds for less than £1... | |
| Vinyl guy seeking recommendation for a top level cd player I have just done what you were talking about... I had an arcam sacd player but on cd it always sounded far worse than vinyl.I just bought a pro Ject rs2 cd box which is just a transport. This feeds a chord qutest dac and the result is amazing.... ... | |
| Boy, Oh Boy! Towshend! I use isoacoustics gaia under my tannoy ardens same result... An amazing jump in quality | |
| Integrated Amp Choices Look at the luxman 550ax2 instead of 505... A vs AB bit more warmth and I find voices nicer if you listen to more acoustic stuff | |
| Tannoy Legacy Ardens - which amp suggestions for 15 big ass babies Just an update - in the end I went for a Luxman 550ax2 a class and 'only' 20W in A - but utterly happy (and only one box) |
