!!! Harbeth M30.2 Xd,NOT Just Pipe & Slippers Speakers!!!
Good to know. I’ve been a long time Harbeth user for more than a decade. Owned the SHL5 and SHL5+ for a long time, listened to all the M30 iterations from the original M30 to M30.1 and 30.2 40th Anniversary. The latter sounds best while the older ... 
Speakers for Gryphon Diablo 120
Had a good offer on the new Signature model, but chose to go the BBC line of speakers with an other designer I admire a lot, mr Derek Hughes and his Graham Audio LS 5/9. The Graham speakers are an endgame speaker   I lived with the Harbeth SH... 
Luxman 509x or Simaudio 600iV2 with mágico A3.
I had 590 before and wasn't my cup of tea. Is it the 590AX or 590AXII? The latter is reported to be noticeably better.  
Using two Luxman integrated amplifiers together
Thanks @maholl50 for the response. Appreciated.  
Using two Luxman integrated amplifiers together
May I ask how does the Harbeth M30.2 XD compare to the Dynaudio Heritage Special? Which one do you like better? I would expect the Heritage Specials to have better bass and dynamics than the 30.2 XD but which one has a higher involvement factor wi... 
Gryphon Diablo 300 or Vitus SIA-025mk2 / RI-101mk2
Thanks for the post which is surely useful. A used Gryphon Diablo 300 is cheaper than any of the Vitus integrateds so that's an advantage there.  
Van Den Hul Hybrid Revolution
I was searching for reviews of this VDH Revolution hybrid and found one here. I am surprised this cable is now 20 years old, perhaps close to 2 decades. Damn.  
Help with XLR ICs.
@audphile1 or anyone, would like to know if you hear a rather noticeable or significant difference when you changed from the Acoustic Zen to the Nordost Tyr XLR, or any XLR to another XLR cable? Currently I have two pairs of XLR in the price ran...

Example of a piece o’ crap, useless review
I used to buy hifi magazines when I was in my teens until the early twenties. I stopped reading the mags approaching 30 when I realize it's a waste of time (and money).   
Have Luxman 509x. Considering Pass Labs INT-250 or Dan D’Agostino Progression Integrated
@denon1 appreciate the update. The 509Z sounds like a gem.

Thanks Denon1. I would be looking forward to your experience with the 509z.  
Handling Heavy Amps
I carried my 180lb Krell FPB 600 upstairs by myself. You are strong, or I'm weak. :-) I could only manage about 100lb in my prime.

Also, how does the L-509X compare to the 507Z and 509Z?  
Have Luxman 509x. Considering Pass Labs INT-250 or Dan D’Agostino Progression Integrated
First it was luxman 590axii that to my ears was more organic than pass. I changed it later to luxman 507z and sound became liquid with better bass and blacker background. now ordered luxman 509z. Should get it soon.   @denon1 i currently own t...
