| Adding tube sound to my SS system Great question! The Cary is used and plenty broken in and includes ultimate upgrade. Mojo is a demo unit and LTA does 100 hours of burn in I think before they ship | |
| Adding tube sound to my SS system Reporting back after a ton of research and experimenting. I've been demoing the LTA Aero and Mojo Mystique Y in my system this last week and thought I'd share my early impressions. While waiting about a month for these to arrive, I also tried s... | |
| Six DAC Comparison I've been demoing the LTA Aero and Mojo Mystique Y in my system this last week and thought I'd share my early impressions. System is Roon Nuc - Ifi Zen Stream w/ elite LPS - DAC - Luxman l509x - Spendor D9.2. I previously had a Lumin T2. I don'... | |
| Adding tube sound to my SS system I’m learning a lot here much appreciated. I’m thinking of going with one of the two options below into my Luxman 509 integrated. Any thoughts on which would be better? Both about $4k - new LTA Aero r2r tube DAC into the luxman integrated - use... | |
| Adding tube sound to my SS system Thanks everyone for the suggestions and thoughts! Seems like changing the DAC or trying the Modwright tube buffer are great options without starting from scratch. On the search now for a tube or r2r dac that allows me to control volume from withi... | |
| Adding tube sound to my SS system I like the idea of the LTA Aero DAC a lot, but the no digital volume control through Roon or Tidal via my iPhone is a deal breaker for me. I know digital volume control isn’t ideal, but supposedly the Leedh on the LUMIN is pretty solid. | |
| Adding tube sound to my SS system Yep ithe BHK is a hybrid tube/SS. Budget $5-10k for everything but the speakers. | |
| Recommendations for speakers with Luxman 509x Thanks for everyone's comments. Reporting back after living with the Spendor D9.2, Luxman 509x and Lumin T2 combo. I'm very happy. The Spendors showed up last so I have a little perspective on the components. I don't have a ton of hifi experience,... | |
| Recommendations for speakers with Luxman 509x Thanks for all the suggestions. Going to try some second hand Spendor d9.2s and see how they do in my room. Figure if they don’t work I can unload them without too big of a hit. Would love to do the home demo thing with a dozen different speakers,... | |
| Recommendations for speakers with Luxman 509x Rego - can you elaborate on this? Not sure what you meant. - The listening space btw is a winner from the Bolt - area reference leaving the listening position to consider as well. | |
| Recommendations for speakers with Luxman 509x Thanks - I’m very excited about the 509x. Shows up next week. Speaker placement I’m realizing is my most limiting factor. Due to a stove in one corner I only have about 8’ to work with and a ~62” media cabinet in between. Heard great things about ... | |
| Recommendations for speakers with Luxman 509x Thanks for the suggestions. Keep’em coming! What’s the take on Harbeth shl5+s for my setup? Seems like some love them and others not so impressed. Thinking I might pick up some boxes and a set of towers used to see what sound I prefer. | |
| Luxman 590axii ventilation Really appreciate all the comments here. I’m kinda stuck with the cabinet and shelf per negotiations with the wife as it’s in the living room. I can get to 4” of clearance above, 3” on each side, open in the back and front. Thinking I’ll pickup th... | |
| Luxman 590axii ventilation I’d love it to sit on top, but the TV sits on the cabinet. I think these fans could work though. I could redo the shelves to give myself 2-3” above, then mount one of these slim exhaust fans on the back of the cabinet.https://www.acinfinity.com/co... | |
| Streamer/DAC+integrated vs All in one? Thanks for the comments here - they led to loads more research. While the gold note is1000 sounds like an amazing piece of gear and tough to beat for the convenience and price, I’m heading down the path of separates as a better bet long term. Pick... |
