| Lumin T2 burn in time? My Lumin X1 sounded absolutely dire straight out of the box. I was going to send it back. For the first couple of weeks it sounded like crap and I thought I had made a huge mistake.My dealer persuaded me to stick with it, and it took over a month ... | |
| LFD NCSE MK3 I have just replaced my Ayre AX5 Twenty with an LFD NCSE III. I thought the Ayre would be my last amplifier, and it really is a superb piece of engineering and a fabulous sounding amplifier. But the plain looking LFD at half the price sounds more ... | |
| Lumin T2 dac gone bad? distortion "spitting" "splatty" in mids/highs I assume you have tried just re-starting it. I have had this issue with my Lumin X1 a few times and that usually seems to fix it.Also, check whether you are doing any digital processing either in your music software (Roon, JRMC etc ) or in the Lum... | |
| Harbeth vs Graham audio @rossb when you keep the ls6, does it mean you prefer it better than all the others that you’ve owned, including the harbeth 30.2? I heard it is much more neutral than the overly rich and even nasal 30.1.And your preference of ls6 over ls5/9 is be... | |
| Cartridges: Kuzma CAR or Lyra on a 4-Point (11") arm All three cartridges are resolving, and (from memory) I doubt any of them were obscuring detail. But then I am less interested in tiny details than in dynamics and tonality. The Phasemation errs on the warmer and more forgiving side but gives up s... | |
| Cartridges: Kuzma CAR or Lyra on a 4-Point (11") arm I found the Lyra nice but a bit too lean slightly soft. Other Lyras such as the Delos or Kleos are more dynamic but even leaner. The CAR 40 was good but a little dull.The Dynavector is full sounding, very dynamic, tonally rich - for my tastes I ca... | |
| Cartridges: Kuzma CAR or Lyra on a 4-Point (11") arm I've had the CAR 40 and Lyra Etna on my 4 Point. I sold both and now have a DV XV-1S which I prefer to either. | |
| Harbeth vs Graham audio I have owned the Harbeth P3ESR, M30.1 and M30.2, and the Graham LS3/5, LS5/9 and LS6.The only ones I still have are the Graham LS3/5 and LS6. The LS6 are my primary speakers. All of these are good speakers, but I felt that the Grahams are a bit mo... | |
| MSB Diamond DAC V I say to you you can’t go wrong, compared to others mentioned so far It’s an easy thing to say when you are spending someone else’s money.Personally, I wouldn’t be buying anything at that price level without an audition, and I certainly wouldn’t ... | |
| Lumin u1 mini vs bryston bdp3 I have both the U1 Mini and the Ultrarendu with linear PSU. The Ultrarendu is very good but the U1 mini is a clear step above the Ultrarendu. | |
| Lumin X1 or dCS Bartok Thanks, I will have a look at them. I tried the Isoacoustic footers but prefer it without. | |
| Lumin X1 or dCS Bartok I prefer my X1 playing files in their native format and resolution. I'm not sure how it would be possible to sound more liquid than it does already! | |
| Kuzma Stabi Reference vs Avid Acutus Thanks for your thoughts. I've actually shelved the idea of replacing the turntable. I think it was just a moment of idle boredom. I have been listening to it quite a lot over the last week after a long period of listening mostly to digital. The K... | |
| Comparison of latest DAC chips Resorting to insults now, George? | |
| Comparison of latest DAC chips George, you keep saying the same thing, and getting the same response. I'm sure most of us have done this. I used to own a "good" R2R dac. I was not amazed. I prefer my current delta sigma dac. |
