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).

@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?

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... 
Handling Heavy Amps
My criteria of any component purchase is I have to be able to comfortably carry it alone, unaided. It used to be 100 lbs about 20 years ago. These days it’s 65 lbs. I won’t consider any heavy gear I am unable to handle alone, even though it may s... 
Luxman leaves me wanting
My current system is a Luxman L590-AXII driving DeVore Gibbon Super Nines. My source is Lumin U1-Mini (w/Sboosterj and Denafrips Venus II. Also a Rega P3. Speaker and interconnect cables are circa late 90s Cardis Cross There is a lot that is righ...
