| 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? | |
| Amp hum. It sounds like a bad tube. Swap one tube at a time from L to R and vice versa. If the hum changes to the other speaker you have found your problem. I have had this happen to me a couple of times. This is a process of elimination with the tubes ... | |
| The New Synergistic Research Purple Fuses @jwmazur Interesting post. I now have a collection of SR fuses that are worthless. I guess they go to my fuse grave. I understand technology but I can not be switching fuses every 18 months. That is one of the reasons I like QSA. So here is ... | |
| Suggestions for high efficiency speakers? Before I purchased my speakers, I went on a one year cross country (east to west) speaker hunt. I owned Wilson and Sonus Faber speakers prior. I attended many audio shows also. I never thought in a million years that I would end up with a horn ... | |
| The New Synergistic Research Purple Fuses Which fuse should I buy? I'll order it tonight, put it in and report back in a few weeks. We do lots of blind test but this one will take a bit more planning because the amp will have to be opened up. You should buy SR purple and the QSA yello... | |
| Speakers for a Large Room (20’x37’) What is your BUDGET? Will you consider a horn speaker? I have a room larger than the one you speak of. After a long search, I ended up buying Viking Acoustic Grande Voix dual horn speakers. They absolutely fill the room with musical bliss. Ch... | |
| The New Synergistic Research Purple Fuses @audiosense.... What fuse are you comparing? Orange to Purple? QSA to SR? I am looking for people who have compared the SR purple to the QSA yellow. | |
| Tube integrated amp recommendations +1 for MC....I owned the Reflection. What an amp in every way. It has the power and sound and aesthetics. Tube rolling is a treat thanks to Dave's knowledge. Raven has placed the majority of its efforts in the Speaker and the Avian MK3 line-u... | |
| Horn speakers are really bright? Lord Rootman --- I am a horn fan and don't understand why they are not more popular in the USA. I have Viking Acoustic Grande Voix Dual horns that I absolutely love.Thanks for introducing me to a new artist. I am curious. Did you just use your ... | |
| How do you enhance a bad listening room's accoustics without breaking the bank? thoughts? I have used GIK and Acoustimate in the past. I have heard of supply issues with GIK recently. I used Vicoustic Acoustic Cinema Round panels that not only look great on walls but they really helped my absorption issues greatly. Check out their w... |
