| Smooth & Fusion Jazz, New Age Music Recommendation (Guitar, Piano) Thanks for the recommendation. | |
| Cellular phone and speakers? The iPhone doesn't have binding posts to connect to speakers. I'm not sure if you can add binding posts to the iPhone with suitable accessories. Best bet is to add a small shoebox amp. | |
| DAC That Punches Above Its Price Point I did not state a budget because I’m not sure where the best value DAC lies in the price/performance envelope before point of diminishing returns kick in. From few posts here, it appears that giant killer options do not exist which is comprehensib... | |
| Sugden/Allnic or Luxman L-509X? Wahoostewjr- curious is the Sugden a little more neutral than the Luxman? I’ve owned various Luxman amps for 20 years and one day I just stepped away from the golden tone and never looked back.May I ask which Luxman models which showed the golden ... | |
| Owning the speakers you dreamed of 20 years ago Contrary to most here, the speakers I dreamed of owning 20+ years ago now look like junk to me. Well, that’s a bit of exaggeration but the fact is they don’t appeal to me anymore. It’s more to the looks than sound quality.I recall reading about th... | |
| What comes after Harbeth 30.1s? @whipsaw Thanks for the post. Your response is surely useful, no further information on the Marten is required. Apologies to OP for the thread hijack. I’ll make it short. Three hours with the Parker Duo at the dealer, impressive. When I was at th... | |
| What comes after Harbeth 30.1s? Whipsaw, how did you find the Marten Parker Duo? Did you manage to listen to the Oscar Duo and Duke 2? The Parker Duo is the top-of-the-range standmount in the Marten line of speakers so I would expect it to sound better than the other two models,... | |
| The Luxman L-595A SE integrated is coming. What is the difference in sound quality between the 595A SE and 590AXII? Any reviews? | |
| Recommendations for speakers with Luxman 509x If you read the OP’s post, he is limited to less than 2’ from the wall for placement of speakers. For the SHL5 and SHL5+, they require 2’ to 2.5’ from the wall to sound good. Anything less they sound congested. I suspect the 40.1/40.2 require more... | |
| Recommendations for speakers with Luxman 509x 40.1 / 40.2 is too big for the 14’ x 18’ room as they are rather huge and require space from the walls to sound good. SHL5+ fits in rather nicely though. | |
| Which Harbeths? All great responses. I’m with Arafiq on this one. I’ll make this short. Obviously the choice will be dependent on listening taste and preferences. In my view and experience (which may not apply to everyone). M40.1/2 and P3ESR excluded. SHL5+ Most ... | |
| Isoacoustics Gaia Speaker Footers Thanks for the response Milpai. I heard an improvement but read on another forum that the Gaias need few days to sound their best. I’m not sure if they need some time to "settle" as some isolation products usually require few days to settle down a... | |
| IsoAcoustics - A Class Act Does anyone know if the Isoacoustics Gaia require break in after installation to sound good? If yes, approximately how many days? Or they will sound great right off the bat after installation? Installed on speakers.I find the setting up to be rath... | |

| Luxman 590axii ventilation I can tell you 1" is asking for trouble as I own one. My rack is open on all sides and I used to have about 2 to 3 inches clearance above the amp and it still occasionally went into shut down mode about 3 times in a year. I have now removed the co... |
