| Dedicated Music Server/Player @David Ten I had heard of Pink Faux but in all my research it just did not come up. No reason just so many others to choose from. I do like the aspect of knowing who is building my equipment and that probably is a major reason I went with Lucas... | |
| Products you added to your system in 2021 that made most impact to your music enjoyment Lucas Audio LDMS Music Server. Oh my, best investment IO made. | |
| Dedicated Music Server/Player I had the Emm Lab before the Lumin X-1. For me, there was no comparison. The Lumin was better for me. BTW, please keep us informed of your decision. | |
| Dedicated Music Server/Player I looked at Baetis, Aqua, Innuous, Taiko, Aurender, Antipodes. They are all good in their own right. What you get with Lucas is customer service. Sometimes that is the added bonus you get with a boutique Company. They can build it to your exac... | |
| Would you sell for cash? Cash is King. I just sold mattresses on Craigslist for $4k. I love Cash. But I agree, if you are concerned have the pick-up guy meet you at your local bank and they can check the money. | |
| Dedicated Music Server/Player Yes, absolutely. I had a Lumin X-1 DAC/Streamer and loved it. Then during Covid I decided a a near death experience needed a reward so I purchased a Lampizator Pacific DAC. I paired it with a transport. I was slightly disappointed in the sound... | |
| Does Lumin x1 needs a dac ? does a good dac will improve it ? @haimr Call Dave in NJ from the above text. He sold me all of my Lumin products. He can either help you with the proper cabling and hookup to your CD player or he does sell a very good less expensive Music Server that would benefit your system | |
| The New Synergistic Research Purple Fuses @papafrgog --you bring up great points that I have questioned in the past to no avail. It is interesting that when a new model comes out, the brand always tells you what has changed. ie better capacitors, resistors, wiring etc. It would be nice ... | |
| Does Lumin x1 needs a dac ? does a good dac will improve it ? Are you currently running your CD player through the X-1? | |
| Does Lumin x1 needs a dac ? does a good dac will improve it ? I have had 4 Lumin products including the X-1. The X-1 is a damn good DAC. In fact, I sold the X-1 and replaced it with a Lampizator Pacific which is double the money. I can tell you there was not an incremental $16k worth of sound improvements... | |
| Building my 1st real system. Need advice. Hoping to pair Luxman507uxii/Dyaudio Evoke20. Take a look at Raven Audio. They have a very nice line of affordable and great-sounding integrated tube amps, cables and speakers within your budget. They also have a 45-day money-back guarantee. Call Dave Thomson at Raven. You will be surpris... | |
| Matching streamer/DAC combination to SQ of my system. Check out Lumin. I have had the D-2, A-1, U-1 mini and X-1. Great sound and super easy app to use. | |
| The New Synergistic Research Purple Fuses Ted I kind of assumed the writing was the direction of the fuse but not guaranteed. Question, does it matter if your ground plug is on top or the bottom of the plug? | |
| The New Synergistic Research Purple Fuses Here is my beef with SR fuses. QSA has a directional arrow and directions for which way they go. SR does not. My components are not easily accessible. I have 5 components that they go into. I have to try one component at a time to see what I ... | |
| The New Synergistic Research Purple Fuses @cd45123...Can you please elaborate why? |
