| Luxman integrated for Harbeth Compact 7's I had a Luxman DA-06 DAC several years ago... very nice sounding, double free DAC. Recommended. I’m currently looking at the DA-06. May I ask if you have compared any Chord DACs to the Luxman. The reviews on the DA-06 appear to be contradictory... | |
| The sound comparison between LUXMAN DA-200 D/A and LUXMAN DA-250 D/A convertors Arafiq, may I ask what other DACs have you compared to the Luxman DA-06? I may have the opportunity to pick one up but read that it sounds inferior to some of the lower priced Chords. On another thread which I just resurrected, the DA-06 was said... | |
| Luxman DA-06 DAC vs Chord Qutest/Hugo 2 Any other thoughts on the comparison between the Luxman DA-06 and other DACs such as Chord Qutest/Hugo/TT or Denafrips Pontus 2 etc.? I may have the opportunity to pick one up. I own the Chord QBD76 which is my reference DAC in the main system. I... | |
| Anybody watch Steve Huff audio on the Tube? Well, I bought the Luxman L-590AXII based on his review in one of his blogs several years ago. During that time he hasn’t made in big on YouTube yet. However, I have to admit he changes audio gear as if he’s changing clothes! | |
| Inside the Iso Acoustics mechanism I was not allowed to upload the Revopod cross section from their website. It is very informative and their description lays out how it works. This is surely informative. Isoacoustics should emulate Revopod by providing the description a... | |
| Inside the Iso Acoustics mechanism My main problem is: How do I double-blind these against the stock spikes?!?! | |
| What's the heaviest speaker you've ever owned? What's the tallest? The heaviest speakers I owned were 60 lbs each. It’s the Sonus Faber Grand Piano Concerto floorstanders. During that time, I was a young fella and could carry the speaker with ease. Nowadays, I usually consider speakers which I am able to carry al... | |
| How Much Do Your Subwoofer(s) Cost Relative to Speakers Harbeth 30.2 XD with 2 REL T/9x Running 1 sub in a stereo set up is pointless. A lot of people advocate a minimum of 2 subs but some rooms (including mine) can’t accommodate more than 1 either due to the size or arrangement. Nevertheless... | |
| Is There A Big Difference Between Subwoofers From Different Manufacturers I have an old Richard Lord REL , Stentor III, 55kg horn loaded , beautiful cabinet. it’s-6db at 13hz. just a 10inch long throw driver. wish I had room for 2 but in my 14ft by 22ft by 10ft room it does a fantastic job A lot of people advocate... | |
| Luxman L505uXii or Hegel H390 Sound quality is important. However, if certain criteria are not met, there won’t be an intention of a listen or purchase from me. The Hegel amps look fine. They are used by many and have been endorsed by the Harbeth designer Alan Shaw for Harbet... | |
| Is There A Big Difference Between Subwoofers From Different Manufacturers Thanks for all thoughts. All good points. Similarly, apart from sound quality the design comes first for me. I’m bringing up specifications to suggest that subs from different manufacturers may sound closer to each other, that’s all. Purchase no... | |
| Your sub experience: Easy or hard? I don’t have much experience with subwoofers so my contribution may be worthless. Easy or hard? I suppose the question is closely correlated to expectations? To me, proper integration means the sub blends rather seamlessly with the main speakers a... | |
| How Much Do Your Subwoofer(s) Cost Relative to Speakers By the way, the MSRP of my speakers inclusive of matching stands is $9,700. The future sub will cost $2,749 each. | |
| How Much Do Your Subwoofer(s) Cost Relative to Speakers Thanks for the thoughts James. Yes, you are correct that the real question I intended to ask was how much do we need to spend on a good sub, or couple of subs. The price ratio of the sub to speaker is another way of asking the question. I realized... | |
| Inside the Iso Acoustics mechanism After spending $1000 on Gaia 1’s, I’m not going to take them apart! Same here on my Gaia 2. From the diagram provided by Isoacoustics, it appears that bolts are used inside the Gaias instead of springs. I’m not sure about the other parts tha... |
