| Music Server To Only Play FLAC Stored On Portable HDD The latter, a device to output digital audio (FLAC, ALAC) to a dedicated DAC in a single audio system. | |
| Music Server To Only Play FLAC Stored On Portable HDD Thanks for the response. I’ll look at the Raspberry Pi in due time. I have read about it earlier but didn’t give it a serious thought as I wasn’t sure about the implementation. I guess I’ll just give it a try sometime. | |
| Quality of construction on some speakers- namely Harbeth While looking at used speakers out there, I couldn't help but notice that besides being a lot of ham handed owners, a lot of these box speakers are coming apart at the the corners and their veneers are cracking. My question is, English moist c... | |
| Moving up the Harbeth line I presume 3 feet from side wall and 4 feet from front wall are clear space from wall to speaker cabinet? Placement does not seem to be an issue if there is ample space from the walls. Is distance between speakers in the range of 6 to 8 feet centre... | |
| From Naim to Luxman...? Check this thread out. The Luxman sq-150n wasn’t directly compared to the Naim Atom but the higher range 282/SupercapDR/250DR. The Luxman exceeded the expectations of the owner. Apart from the great sound quality, it is built like a tank, sculptur... | |
| Luxman 590axii with KEF Reference 1 Re. The Krell K-300i which was recommended earlier, I’m sure it is great but here is a comparison of the Krell to the Accuphase E650 taken from another forum, if anyone is interested. I’ve just been home- trialling a Krell K-300i, kindly lent to ... | |
| Luxman 590axii with KEF Reference 1 Yes, it's very good, the L-590AXII. It punches well above its price range and rival the uber-integrateds costing up to $20,000 or more. | |
| Anyone Successfully Go from Floor Standers to Bookshelf Monitors w/ Subs? I went from bookshelf to floorstanders, then to bookshelf again. There are small bookshelf, there are medium-sized bookshelf and there are large bookshelves. Some example of large bookshelves are from the likes of Harbeth 40.2 and ATC. It will dep... | |
| Moving up the Harbeth line Arafiq, the comprehensive and detailed account is surely useful. I’m glad the 30.1s have worked out well in your system, particularly with the Luxman L-590AXII. There’s nothing more for me to add here since you will be more familiar with the speak... | |
| LUXMAN 505u? The L505u is an interesting piece of audio equipment. I decided to go that direction due to cabnitry constraints that prevented me from using a medium power tube amp. I bought the L505u on reputation. My speaker system is extremely hohographic wit... | |
| moving from house to an apartment.. goodbye 802D's Just listen at low to moderate volumes will be fine. Low volumes at night. Even if it's a bookshelf speaker, your neighbour will come knocking on your front door if you like your music loud. | |
| Moving up the Harbeth line Glad to hear the M30.1s are a clear improvement over the P3ESR. All the differences that had been described mirrored my experience as well. The M30.1 has a monitor sound which is more controlled than the domestic models (P3ESR, C7ES3 and SHL5). It... | |
| Luxman tonality From my experience the 509X is as neutral as it gets. Very smooth and crisp, never fatiguing. Only thing I thought it somewhat lacked in my setup was the mid-bass and bass. I demoed a Vitus RI-101 side by side and with the Vitus it felt like I add... | |

| How loud are you typically listening? I have not used the Radioshack SPL meter for more than 10 years although I still have it somewhere in the house. The last I did the measurements, it was in the range of 65-75dB average, 80-95dB for brief periods when I felt like turning it up. The... |
