| Magico A1 or Sopra 1 or Marten Oscar Duo I own the Marten Duke 2, not the Parker Duo that you shortlisted. The Marten is smooth and detailed at the same time which may sound contradictory. The treble is just so smooth and liquid with all the details sounding crystal clear. It’s a fatigue... | |
| Subwoofer interconnect quality question I was wondering guys. I’m currently using these interconnects for the subwoofer. Will a costlier alternative sound better than this one? | |
| Integrated Amplifiers - Luxman vs Pass Labs Since Hgeifman and Erik Squires have mentioned, I might just add a little here. It’s good to note that 2 persons who have made the comparison prefer the Luxman to the Pass Labs. Although I did not have the opportunity to listen to a Pass Labs, th... | |
| Amplfiers that Sound like Pass 30.8 that are not so heavy You could put it on a dolly if you’re moving it around frequently I think the main problem is lifting the amp alone. If the amp is too heavy, 2 persons may be required to safely lift and move the amp. The heaviest amp that I managed alone when ... | |
| 30 to 50 watts seems to be all I desire Listening to mainly Jazz at volumes less than 85db, normally. I used to listen close to 90dB when I was younger(20+ to early 30s) with peaks hitting 100dB. Now a lot older, my average listening volume is 65dB. At these levels, any amp would do ... | |
| Integrated Amplifiers - Luxman vs Pass Labs Audio shows don’t tell you much, different room, different speakers. Nevertheless, they will still give you a rough idea. I don’t know about Pass Labs. I did shortlist the INT60 for my Marten Duke 2 but got the Luxman L-590AXII instead. Initially... | |
| Can recommend some non-fatigue SMALL bookshelf for near-field listening? P3ESR XD is reported to sound brighter than the original P3ESR. I would vote P3ESR for your requirement. Anything warmer than this the treble would be rolled off and sound pretty dead. Sonus Faber older models such as Concertino or Concerto also... | |
| Harbeth again…or other speakers for acoustic music? Have you had any chance to hear 30.1 or .2 with sub? No I haven’t. The M30.2 or 30.2 XD may be worth considering as I find the newer iteration to sound better than the older versions. Personally I find the original M30 to be underwhelming. ... | |
| Harbeth again…or other speakers for acoustic music? As a long time owner of SHL5 (7 years) and currently SHL5+ for about 5 years now, the SHL5+ is the brightest sounding speaker in the Harbeth line to me. I’ve listened to the P3ESR, C7ES3, M30, M30.1, M30.2, M40 and M40.1. I actually find the rest ... | |
| Audio Research or Luxman? kren0006 1,670 posts 12-21-2021 10:20pm It depends on what level of Audio Research you are talking about. For example, within the last month I had a one hour audition of Wilson SabrinaX speakers both with the Luxman L509x integra... | |
| Isoacoustics Orea vs Townshend Seismic Pod on Components @ryder I ordered the Nobsound springs, arriving tomorrow. I have a few questions … 1. Which component stands to benefit the most? Dac, amp, or streamer? Eventually I might get more sets but want to start small. 2. My amp is the Audio Hungary a... | |
| Call me crazy but I love sometimes just looking at my speakers and set up... Thanks @wassaicwill and @deadhead1000 . The 590AXII sounds better than it looks which is a good thing. | |
| Nobsound springs - load range I decided to give the Nobsound springs a try with my MC275 amplifiers. They were already resting on oak plywood bases (home made). I removed the feet and placed the bases on the springs and made sure it was level. Hooked everything back up, start... | |
| Call me crazy but I love sometimes just looking at my speakers and set up... Looks so matter to some people. I have to admit that I’m in the same camp as well. The amp and speaker selection for my system must pass the looks department first and foremost, sound quality is secondary. If the gear do not look good to me, I won... | |
| How much gear do you own? I sold most of the excess stuff I had about a year ago. Now I’m down to 2 integrated amps 1 pre/power 2 pairs loudspeakers 1 DAC 1 CD player All the above except one(1) integrated amp are in use. |
