| Power cords or power conditioner @paul_lindemann I'm beginning to think the same thing. I've added many things over the past month, and the over all improvement is small but improved in regards to layering. I think the biggest improvement was swapping out my interconnects and... | |
| High Quality Interconnects for Luxman L-590AXII @ryder Okay I completed the comparison of the Red Dawn and the Silver Reference II today. No doubt about my conclusion here, the Acoustic Zen is the better cable. The Red Dawn may, and I repeat may have had better highs. The Acuoustic Zen had be... | |
| Recommendations for modern integrated with tone & balance controls other than Mcintosh My suggestion is a Luxman 509. I compared it to a Boulder 866, Esoteric F1, Gryphon Diablo 300, Krell 300i, Accuphase 380, McIntosh MA12000. To my ears it was the best sounding of all the above integrateds. Find one and demo it. | |
| High Quality Interconnects for Luxman L-590AXII I have a Luxman 509x. Tomorrow I plan on some A/B tests using Nordost Red Dawn and Acoustic Zen Silver Reference II. Both are XLR, I'll report back when I'm done with the test. | |
| Mark Levinson & Others I just went through this myself. I wanted an integrated and was dead set on the Gryphon Diablo 300. Lucky for me, I had a dealer down the street that happened to have two of them for sale. He suggested that I compare it to others prior to buying i... | |
| Power cords or power conditioner Cables have arrived- So the Acoustic Zen Silver Reference II XLR and Acoustic Zen Hologram II bi-wired speaker cables. I bought these out of the used inventory of cables.com so these should be broken in. I was told to let them "warm up" for a few... | |
| Power cords or power conditioner I have an unused family room in my house that I have been thinking about converting into a dedicated music room. Ha, as other have said, I can only go so far in my current room before I start getting push back. For example, I've received a littl... | |
| Power cords or power conditioner I bought them. If I am not happy with the sound of them, I will return and then go down the lending library rabbit hole! | |
| Power cords or power conditioner @nyev I did't order a new USB cable. That one is going to have to wait. This is what was said to me regarding my signal cables. "My advice would be to bypass power cord auditions for now and try a loom of a brand that has a more balanced appr... | |
| Power cords or power conditioner @markiew Thanks for the tip on the TA-102 tape! I’ll give it a try! The Shinyata Triton and Alpha XC PC arrived today. I’m going to let it play for a while before I have an opinion on it. But so far I do think it is an improvement. I also conta... | |
| Power cords or power conditioner @nyev My Shunyata Triton V3 arrives tomorrow, along with a Shunyata Alpha XC PC for the conditioner. I will soon see if there is any black magic with a conditioner. Seeing that I live in Chicago, and 3/4 of a block from my house is a busy main ... | |
| Power cords or power conditioner @jl1ny I have a JL Audio Fathom 113V2. At first I was only using it with the Datasat for HT. A few days ago I used the pre out on the Luxman to see how it would integrate. Let's just say it is still connected to the Luxman. While the KEFs ... | |
| Power cords or power conditioner @audphile1 That is what I intend to do. It's like Audio Science Review, if the site owner can't measure it, then it doesn't matter. Problem with that theory is most of the stuff that guy suggests as great due to measurements, sounds like garbage... | |
| Power cords or power conditioner @nyev My usb cable is pretty short, I'll have to look at it but I think it is around a meter. I've also heard that a longer power cord will work better than short one. Never experimented with it thought. As to speaker toe in, KEF states in... | |
| Power cords or power conditioner Thanks guys! I have DYI power cords on all my two channel equipment. I used Oyaide Tunami V2 for the cable. Not the best but far from the stock wire. So my power wires are not bad, just not up to reference level, if that is needed. As to spe... |
