| You are invited on a "trip down memory lane". I must have been about 7or 8 years old and I had saved some money for a small transistor radio. It was a typical unit from the day (back in the sixties) 8 transistor handheld. I would play it while in bed at night and carry it around with me. I lo... | |
| 30 Watts of class A power: What Speakers are you using and suggesting? Whoo-hoo I can use my 30 watt output (330 watt) class A heater again it’s turned winter! With a radiator like this who needs central heat, hah! | |
| 30 Watts of class A power: What Speakers are you using and suggesting? I am using some GPA 604 to a Luxman 590 II. It’s a good combo within the speaker limitations. Strengths of the speakers are dynamics, efficiency and tonality. Weakness are large box size, the need for subs and not the greatest high frequency exten... | |
| You can make boxes, but not electronics? Maybe the 604 is for you ... I have a pair in 6 ft boxes tuned with dual ports to 49 hz or so. They sound great and yes I agree about the caps. I installed some Jupiter beeswax and wow what an improvement. They do some things incredibly well and others less so. Dual subs took... | |
| Going linear - The Luxman 507ux I have the L590axII and absolutely love it. A few SS amps I’ve had in the past are Denon 2000, Yamaha a-s2100, tubes- a 300b tube, an EL34 tube, and quite a few others for short stays. The Luxman drives high efficiency GPA 604 speakers without eff... | |
| Dynaudio C4 old stock discounted If you want that speaker- you should get it! When you pull them out they will still have that new speaker smell and I would think you will have zero issues. | |
| Tannoy gold 12" cabinets I am not an expert- you may want to check out the site diyaudio to get more info. That's a great resource. Having played around a bit with my own speakers I can suggest if you go ported use some interior wall lining and minimal stuffing. You want ... | |
| Klipsch!. The worst speaker company, EVER? He has some interesting things to say about audio... Have you checked out his take on 'small speakers?" Quite the hoot- | |
| Gryphon vs Luxman vs Accuphase Thanks for your feedback freesole! Think of it this way... the 590axII gives you more freedom to try higher efficiency speakers!It is a tough call with tubes, the tube lush presence vs ease of maintenance with SS. Even worse, when I was doing tube... | |
| Gryphon vs Luxman vs Accuphase Freesole it sounds like you are enjoying the 509axII over the 509x. Is it enough to draw you away from the LM 805 tube? | |
| Luxman Integrated - What do they sound like I've had a L590axII in my system for a month now, it replaced a Yamaha a-s2100. I have run el-34 and 300B tubes with the same main speakers. My thoughts...I like the Lux better (than the Yamaha) all around. Small things mostly.... it has a better ... | |
| Marantz SA-10 vs SA-KI Ruby Thanks for that. You inspired me to run my iPhone pandora through audio engine Bluetooth to KI dac via optical. Huge improvement over rca out from audio engine to amp. CheersRW | |
| Marantz SA-10 vs SA-KI Ruby Tell us what you think after giving it some time | |
| Sub Integration Lots of good advice, mainly on crossover points which are important. One of the things I found huge was getting the phase right. Without it there is a jumbled mess no matter what you do.Probably the easiest way to do it is by ear. Hopefully you ha... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... My short answer would be to try living with the current setup for a while and see how it all comes together. The amp will take some time to settle in- it really sounds to me like you have a really great start and to jump on any changes at the mome... |
