| Please tutor me on some integrated amp basics. Inna, thanks for the explanation. Sound a little like the drug companies.Ieales, I hope the Luxman works out too. I really wish I had access to products I could demo in my home. But, I'm not anywhere near a big city now, so I have to rely on revie... | |
| Please tutor me on some integrated amp basics. Thanks inna. You’ll be emailing me at the poorhouse next. I wonder what they are putting in these wires that cost so much?Mike | |
| Please tutor me on some integrated amp basics. Inna, sounds like the VPI tonearm cable would be a natural choice. Thanks. You asked what figure I had in mind. I really haven’t any figure, because I’ve never had any cables and wires other than the cheapest stuff most of us used in the seventies... | |
| Please tutor me on some integrated amp basics. Twoleftears, I checked out the Furman online. And thanks for your input on the Simaudi and Plinius.Terry9 and Cleeds, from what you’re saying, it looks like I’ll need to put some serious study into this subject of electrical supply. I really only ... | |
| Please tutor me on some integrated amp basics. For various reasons I decided the top contenders were the Hegel H360 and the Luxman L-507uXII. Both had superlative reviews.The Hegel had Magico’s Alon Wolf’s recommendation for use with the Magico A3. It was rated at 400 watts into 4 ohms, a hund... | |
| Please tutor me on some integrated amp basics. Clhs04, Thanks for the recommend. I'll research the Plinius Hautonga integrated, which is yet another model and company I've never run across before. Snoopy72, If I had an additional $3000 to spend on a new Luxman L-509X those four additional 10... | |
| Please tutor me on some integrated amp basics. Builder, I’m sticking with new in spite of this temptation you’re placing in front of me. I did read the review you provided a link to, and the L-509X sounded ever so nice. Mike | |
| Please tutor me on some integrated amp basics. I’ve got to learn about that too, Inna. Maybe after I figure out cabling. The power around here is unreliable, frequent outages and whatnot to say the least. You don’t think those power conditioners they advertise and you see with turntables somet... | |
| Please tutor me on some integrated amp basics. Jafant., any idea how the Anthem STR might compare with any of the others on my list? The list now includes the LUXMAN L-507uXII, thanks to Inna. Mike | |
| Please tutor me on some integrated amp basics. Inna, thanks again. The Luxman L-507uXII has enough wattage for the Magicos at 220v at 4 ohms, and comes in at budget at $6445. It has both an integral mm and mc phono stage, which I like too. It doesn't have an integral DAC at first glance, but... | |
| Please tutor me on some integrated amp basics. Inna, I read yesterday Luxman, pulled out of manufacturing in China. Anyway, their products and Gryphons are well out of my price range since I'm only buying new . However with Xmas coming up you might keep me in mind for a Gryphon Diablo 120 with... | |
| Please tutor me on some integrated amp basics. Twoleftears, thanks for recommending the Coda CSiB. I hadn’t heard of them before, but read it’s designers worked at Legacy and Pass Labs before, which is likely a good pedigree. Tough to find reviews on them though. They sound interesting and mad... | |
| Where do you look for rare records and pressings ? I’ve had consistent good luck at antique malls locally. There’s always a good-sized selection from a number of dealers, who must have no other place to sell. I came close to purchasing someone’s well cared for lifetime collection of classical albu... | |
| Please tutor me on some integrated amp basics. Inna, no doubt. Mike | |
| Road trip to demo $10,000 speakers Thanks Chrissain. I would have liked to have heard the Revel’s. I read very good reviews on them too. We both made good choices. Mike |
