| New Luxman 507Z I doubt it. Looking at MSRP, everything has gone up 30-40%. | |
| Paypal Changes for 2022 @carlsbad How would one report losses on sold equipment? 99% of people here are hobbyist, not business, they don't know about business tax laws. | |
| New Luxman Flagship Power Amplifier M-10X coming in October... Looks like they downgraded the transformer, which was the appeal for the 900u.Most of the talk was just marketing junk. They invented another word for negative feedback. I also see they listed no price. The 900u was $15,000 MSRP from 6 years ago r... | |
| Nordost users....time to upgrade! @ oldhvymec , what are your cables called? | |
| Lack of popularity of Chord??? it is true that chord makes amp and preamps, they were an early adopter of switching class d amps, implemented in their own unique way, and the amps are expensive You said it. Class D & expensive! Who wants to buy a amp like that?I bet 90%... | |
| Pass Labs XA25 vs Benchmark AHB2 Owned both, but not at the same time. My notes indicate the Pass was a clear winner. Especially in the resolution. The AHB2 was thinner & more analytical sounding, though still very good. | |
| New ebay payments require SS#? If Paypal & the other services are doing it too, then everyone is screwed!Great way to screw the little guy trying to make a buck. | |
| Holo Audio May DAC @ audionutjeff What is your sound preference for a DAC?It can be easy to recommend the May or Dave based on it. | |
| Holo Audio May DAC @cal3713 Tell us how it compares to the Audio Mirror T3-SE. There are so very few reviews of either. | |
| Holo Audio May DAC How is the May compare to the XSabre Pro directly? | |
| LKS 004 or monarchyM24 dac? There is a newer LKS 005 now. | |
| Amp & headphone amp plugged in simultaneously? Just use the Plinius as the headphone amp.Buy some speaker adapters here, tell tell to make it for your amps binding post & plug them inhttps://www.ebay.com/itm/Balanced-XLR-to-Speaker-Taps-BANANA-PLUGS-Hifiman-HE4-HE5-HE6-HE500-adapter/172733... | |
| Power Conditioner Be warned, power conditioners tend to rob some of the dynamics & limit current in amps.The ones that don't, usually have massively large transformers & cost much more than the Furman. | |
| M scaler or Cables You could buy a Chord Dave rather than TT2/M-Scaler combo. | |
| Which one to choose between two 80K$ tube amps? @tablejockey Maybe the Jadis has over $10k in parts, maybe, but definitely not the Berning.(EDIT: I take back what I said, those Jadis amps are from 1997, they're worthless.)I suggest the OP contact the sellers & see if they will let you audit... |
