| Recommend me a Class A Integrated Amp (or sound like Class A amp) Luxman, Plinius, Sugden are all below Accuphase. I don’t like the sound of Pass equipment. It’s all subjective, and the speakers that are matched to the amp will play a part too. No right or wrong. From the list, I’ve owned Plinius Class A p... | |
| Single REL T/9x vs S/510 in Small Room Just to wrap things up. Settled with a single S510 and this thing blew the PMC sub out of the water. No joke. I did not try other subs but this REL is quality. Recommended. | |
| My last Integrated Amp: $5-10,000? but … if future speakers could be a demanding load, current-hungry, etc I would consider a Plinius. They are biased heavily into class A, but have a lot of power and current available, stable into low impedances. Plinius is less detailed and... | |
| Luxman vs Hegal I did not buy the Luxman because I later tried the new KRELL Duo XD lineup and preferred that to the warmer Luxman sound. It depends on the speakers. I wouldn’t label the Luxman L-509X as warm. If it sounds warm, then perhaps the speakers sound... | |

| Is There A Device For Home Use That Can Measure How Low The Bass In My Speakers Is? Any suggestions if a CD player is not available? An SPL meter measures loudness in the units of dB. Is there a similar handheld device which measures frequency in Hz? | |
| custom made speaker stand legtips - rubber or metal - not good vibration Good job. Stands look good. They look a bit like Solid Steel SS-6. | |
| REL Carbon Special Vs S/812 I'm interested to know as well. The REL Carbon Special costs $4,399 each so I would expect owners to have some serious sounding kit. | |
| My last Integrated Amp: $5-10,000? If you must go integrated I recently heard the new Luxman L 507Z and the sound paired with Harbeth 30XD speakers was very nice. see post 74. https://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/axpona-2022.1143328/page-3 Looking good. Let me paste t... | |
| My last Integrated Amp: $5-10,000? just saw your post. I had the 590 AX II. I did enjoy it for vocals very much. Listened to lots of vinyl with it as it has a built in phono stage. Vocals were really nice with the amp. It is not in any way a powerful amp. I know people talk about ... | |
| Has Anyone Tried Nobsound Springs Or Other Isolation Devices Below REL Subwoofers? Thanks for all responses. I’ll attempt to try it myself when I receive the sub. Just thought of asking here beforehand. Missioncoonery - Three S510s? Wow, that sounds awesome. Unfortunately my room can only accommodate 1 due to space limitations.... | |
| My last Integrated Amp: $5-10,000? Luxman L-590AXII $7250 has a good reputation and longevity but is relatively low powered. As what Celestial Sound has suggested, the rated output numbers on paper as published by few manufacturers are conservative and do not reflect the actu... | |
| The sound comparison between LUXMAN DA-200 D/A and LUXMAN DA-250 D/A convertors Aradiq, thanks for the response which was surely appreciated. Your advice makes a lot of sense, more so when the 10 year old Luxman costs $3k instead of $2k, a mint condition demo unit. The Denafrips Terminator 2 costs $4,500 and has compared favo... | |
| Luxman integrated for Harbeth Compact 7's Pdreher, thanks for the information. Much appreciated. Will see how it goes. Although the DA-06 is not a current model (almost 10 years old), it costs more than $2k in the used market. That surely says something. I agree the build quality of the D... | |
| How do you make a final decision on a DAC After trying a number of DACs - Chord Qutest (owned), Topping D90 (owned), Luxman DA-06 (owned), Audio Mirror Tubador III (owned), T+A DAC 200 (auditioned at home), Border Patrol (borrowed), Audio Research (GSi75 built-in DAC) and a few others --... |
