| Best SS Amp - Pass Labs X350.8 vs. Luxman M900u vs. Ayre VX-R Twenty Good to know it’s the Luxman M900U which got the nod. This post may not add much value to the thread. I noticed there are few comments here on the bass of the Luxman that’s lacking in comparison to other options. Although I don’t own the M900U, I... | |

| Nobsound springs - load range - 4 units, 6 springs each: 60 kg - 4 units, 7 springs each: 70 kgLoad can be considerably higher than expected (somewhere I read about 36kg, which is presumably for 4 units). From my understanding the maximum load capacity of 4 Nobsound unit... | |
| "warm" solid state integrated amplifier jjss49 3,802 posts 11-16-2021 1:05am my recent experience (a borrowed 590x class a/b unit, for about 6 weeks) I presume it's not 590X but 509X? FWIW although the 590AXII Class A has a slightly warm tone, it doesn't sound overly warm.... | |
| Isoacoustics Orea vs Townshend Seismic Pod on Components The Nobsound springs arrived yesterday and I put them under my Audio Note Cobra. This amp has been sitting on an Ethan Allen wooden cabinet, beautiful, but not an audiophile accessory. The change is pretty dramatic- more dimension, better focus, ... | |
| "warm" solid state integrated amplifier All valid suggestions. Tweaks and isolation devices for equipment (and speakers) such as Nobsound springs or other equivalent products will be useful. Apart from these products, room furnishing or treatment and placement of speakers will also help... | |
| Magico A5 or Sonus faber SERAFINO TRADITION or Harbeth 40.3 XD Thanks for all the suggestions I will listen to my 3 and anything else they have at the stero shop I am going to. They have mcintosh as well so I should be able to get a setup close to mine. That’s surely useful. As some have suggested, please ... | |
| Magico A5 or Sonus faber SERAFINO TRADITION or Harbeth 40.3 XD Are you able to listen at the dealers? At this level the speakers need to match the amp too. I’m not familiar with the Mcintosh amps that you own but did not like the MC275mkIV and Harbeth pairing. I would pick the Magico if I were in your shoes.... | |
| Looking for a SS integrated Amplifier recommendation going into a new system It's great if you can afford the Gryphon or Vitus which are priced above $10k with the higher models costing up to $20k. The Luxman at below $10k is "Best Buy". Great value and great sound for your dollar. | |
| Looking for a SS integrated Amplifier recommendation going into a new system Another vote for the Luxman L-590AXII. After more than 20 years of messing around with more than a dozen of amp combinations both integrated and pre/power, the Luxman beats them all for sheer simplicity in a one-box (minus extra cables) and of cou... | |
| Have you moved away from full range to standmount speakers + subs? Match the speakers to the size of the room. What’s the size of the room? I’m not sure what qualifies as a "full range" speaker. Perhaps one that goes down to 20 - 25 Hz ± 3dB? I’ve never owned large speakers with drivers more than 10" in my life. ... | |
| Fritz Carrera BE vs. Harbeth 30.1 larsman149 posts11-04-2021 1:09amInteresting comparisons! I've got a pair of Fritz Carrerra BE's and Harbeth Super SL-5; right now the Fritz's are what I'm using in my 2-channel system. I don't know whether I'm going to keep or sell the Harbeth... | |
| Dynaudio Confidence C1 MKI treble From the description it appears that the Dynaudio Confidence mk1 sounds even more rolled off in the treble than Harbeth speakers. Although the bass and midrange may sound superb, a single element in the rolled off treble would have ruined everythi... | |
| Fritz Carrera BE vs. Harbeth 30.1 Nice writeup Arafiq. Your impressions on the Harbeth and Fritz share an almost similar resemblance to my experience with the Harbeth and Marten. In the end I kept both as I can't make up my mind. Each has their own sets of strengths and weaknesses. | |
| Isolation Feet Recommendation for Equipment Rack There are so many other options other than Townshend. Have you looked at all the isolation and vibration control threads in the archives?Yes, I have searched the archives but did not find many options on isolation for the rack. I read about Nobsou... |
