| Paradigm Persona 9H - hard to drive !? Audio Doc is always saying the high power T+A HV series is the best sound they got with the 9H.I would be interested in hearing them with the Luxman c900u and m900u myself. I did read a post from someone who owned this combo and loved it. | |
| Help in minimizing hiss Since you already have warm sounding Pass amp why not try the noiseless Benchmark LA4 preamp, 30 day free trial and $2500. https://benchmarkmedia.com/collections/preamplifiers | |

| Benchmark LA4 Preamp? @noble100 For what it's worth, I demoed the Magico A3 with the Mark Levinson $20K each separates, I think the preamp was the 326S (the latest top of the line in 2019). I inserted the AHB2 amp instead of the ML mono amps and the sound went down in... | |
| Suggestions for Balanced cable between Luxman C900U and M900U. If the system is truly balanced, cables should not make a difference. In the case of the c900u it does not support the AES48 balanced standard. This is a wiring issue and maybe not related to 'Truely Balanced". I asked Luxman Japan this question. | |
| Suggestions for Balanced cable between Luxman C900U and M900U. I am curious if anyone has used the External Pre-input source of the c900u. That is attached an external preamplifier, such as an Anthem STR preamp with DSP. I understand that the External Pre-input signal will be sent to the amp connected to the ... | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Black Sabbath - Heaven and HellWhen I was 12 this album came out and I knew 2 songs on it and loved them but was not sure if I could spare my limited album money on Black Sabbath, especially with a replacement singer. Years later for the price of ... | |

| $27,500 for whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat??? When the Wilson rep was demoing the $200K whatever it was called with D'Agasinto (sp?) mono blocks (Dan as in the room). I thought the prices for the gear was a little insane for what I was hearing. It was really good with large scale but it was n... | |
| Luxman L-509X If you have $10K and are considering a Luxman, I cannot buy used on this one since I went and demoed them (will buy new) but for someone open to a used purchase. https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649568734-luxman-m-900u-and-c-900u-as-new/images/... | |
| Lumin D2 or Mytek Brooklyn Bridge for Tidal, Quboz Listen to the Sabre chips from the guys who know those chip better than anyone else, https://www.resonessencelabs.com/ , they helped design the chips. I have only heard the Mirrus DAC and it is amazing. Not bright at all, an amazingly detailed b... | |
| Benchmark LA4 Preamp? @noble100 Funny that I am thinking of going the opposite direction as you. Being on the "other side" for a while with the Benchmark gear I would recommend you try the AHB2 amp and the LA4 preamp on the 30 day FREE trial. That is a neutral combo an... | |
| Benchmark LA4 Preamp? I owned the Benchmark DAC3 and AHB2 so I know the sound well. The LA4 is supposed to be just like the AHB2, that is silent as space. With that in mind I was considering pairing the preamp with a warm sounding amp. Those plans are in the back burne... | |
