| Best Late Night Low Volume Speaker A good pair of headphones (such as the Beyerdynamic T1 or Senn HD800) and a dedicated headphone amp. | |
| Headphones - Senn HD 800 or Grado RS1i....... My recent search for headphones ended with a short list of two - the Senn HD800 and the Beyerdynamic T1. Both are outstanding headphones in their own right, but to me the difference between them came down to their musicality. I found the HD800 to ... | |
| Spendor ST vs. B&W 803d vs. PMC PB1i ??? I was able to find the right speakers for me - the Verity Audio Parsifal Ovation - while also being able to support excellence in Canadian audio manufacturing. The VA PA use Scandinavian made drivers. Vifa used to be Scandinavian, but are now made... | |
| CD vs. Vinyl There is one factor that the vinyl vs. cd argument cannot ignore - a tremendous amount of music is, and has been, released only on cd, and will never be available on vinyl.If you are only interested in sound reproduction, this argment will not mat... | |
| Top Luxman integrated - 509u or 590Aii? I have been enjoying the Verity Audio Parsifal Ovations for several months now, driven by the Luxman 509u integratd amp and Luxmn D-06 cdp. As a system it sounds wonderful, and the electronics match well with the speakers. I enjoy classical music ... | |

| CD players - Luxman vs. Esoteric? I have ordered a Luxman 509u integrated amp and a Luxman D-06 cdp. I am sure that I will be happy :-) | |
| Luxman L505u . . . why not? And why not go all the way and buy the 509u? | |
| Luxman L505u . . . why not? Thanks Brian, I am still waiting for the Feb issue.Mark | |
| Luxman L505u . . . why not? Chashas1 - which recent issue of Stereophile (and what page) mentions the 505u?Thanks,Mark | |
| B&W 800 D or 801 D? I was considering the 802d until I auditioned the Verity Audio Parsifal Ovation - the Parsifals simply took my breath away. They were so much more musically engaging than the 802d, which in turn seemed more cold and clinical - accurate and as oppo... | |
| driving Verity Audio Parsifal Ovations? Thanks for the input. The M800a would be ideal, but trying to explain this to the family budget committee is far more difficult than justifying the purchase of an integrated amp. Integrateds have a much higher WAF. I am not sure that I would buy a... | |
| CD players - Luxman vs. Esoteric? Thanks Mordante, this is exactly the combination that I am considering, and the reason for this thread given that I have never even seen a Luxman cdp. I have seen and listened to one of their integrated amps, and if they build cdps the same way, t... |
