| The pull of separates - Luxman M-10x vs. Accuphase A-48 power amps Adding to the list of class A options would be the Luxman M-800f amp + C-800f preamp (they do appear periodically on the used market) as well as the new Accuphase E-800 integrated amp. | |
| Verity Audio Parsifal Ovation with Plinius Hautonga I have owned Verity Audio Parsifal Ovations for 14 years powered by a Luxman L-509u integrated amp - which is 120W into 8 ohms and doubling to 240W into 4 ohms with a damping factor of 370. It is a wonderful amp/speaker combination. I am not fa... | |
| user poll on seperates vs integrated Both Luxman and Accuphase make outstanding integrated amps, and I have used the following in my 2 systems: Luxman L-509u, L-595A Accuphase E-260, E-380. I especially like the Luxman L-595A pure class A integrated - 30W into 8 ohms, 60W into 4 o... | |
| What is the best solid state amplifier you have ever heard? The best integrated amps that I have heard in my system are: Luxman L-509u Luxman L-595A Accuphase E-380 | |
| Verity Audio Arindal vs. Amadis S speakers From Verity Audio on Facebook: Question to Verity Audio: The Arindal seems to have evolved from the Amadis S - what are the similarities and differences between the Amadis S and the Arindal? Reply from Verity Audio: Hello Mark, the midra... | |
| Proac K6 Signature, Sonus Faber Amati Tradition,Verity Audio Amadis, Kharma DB-9 People collect vintage cars, camera equipment, and audio gear from companies that are no longer in business - yet those items are prized and sought after. Verity was a small company with 5 to 8 employees in addition to the owner and CEO. They ma... | |
| Proac K6 Signature, Sonus Faber Amati Tradition,Verity Audio Amadis, Kharma DB-9 I have had the Verity Audio Arindal in my system since yesterday. They are spectacular - very musically engaging, detailed, and transparent with a livelier sound than the Verity Audio Parsifal Ovation and with a bigger more expansive soundstage. T... | |
| Seeking Bookshelf Recommendations I was also going to suggest the Joseph Audio Pulsars - wonderfully musical, and they go down to about 40 Hz so they reproduce acoustic bass well. I bought some used ones a few years ago at about 35% of list price (so 65% off). | |
| All in one unit for headphones- help me decide Chord Hugo TT2 +/- Chord M-Scaler + streamer such a Zen Streamer. | |
| Listening position/speaker position Thanks @tvad for the book recommendation - I just ordered a copy of "Get Better Sound". | |
| Proac K6 Signature, Sonus Faber Amati Tradition,Verity Audio Amadis, Kharma DB-9 I am not sure that selling them is the right move as there are demo units selling at about 40% off retail, and a used pair will go for even less. The Arindal is supposed to be a magnificent speaker. It was launched in 2022 and I doubt they made ... | |
| Proac K6 Signature, Sonus Faber Amati Tradition,Verity Audio Amadis, Kharma DB-9 Greetings - how are you enjoying the Verity Audio Arindal? | |
| A good cd transport for my Chord HugoTT2 DAC with Chord M-Scaler Thanks @soix. That would be a good route for me to take to start streaming Tidal at home: Zen Stream + iPowerX. I see several used ones on CAM, and that makes it even easier to try. | |
| A good cd transport for my Chord HugoTT2 DAC with Chord M-Scaler Thanks for the advice! I have a Tidal subscription but use it mostly in my car via Apple CarPlay - so I guess that is streaming from iPhone to the car’s audio system via Bluetooth - not the most audiophile approach, but hey, it’s a car... I have ... | |
| A good cd transport for my Chord HugoTT2 DAC with Chord M-Scaler The 260d + M Scaler + TT2 are now in a second system and sound fantastic. I think that the 260d is a very capable transport. For my main system I bought the Luxman D-10x CDP. It was very expensive but it sounds sublime as a CDP and is built lik... |
