| Balanced vs RCA between amp/preamp https://benchmarkmedia.com/blogs/application_notes/balanced-vs-unbalanced-analog-interfaces?_pos=1&_sid=87340c17d&_ss=r A lot of informative info before this summary in the link above. SUMMARYProfessional-grade balanced analog audio in... | |
| Simaudio 390 Network Streamer | DAC | Preamp I am set on the Luxman m900u amp after doing a lot of demos. It will be an amp that that can serve a couple of growing system roles in the future. So I do not mind spending extra cash on this now.Like you I also have some gear that I really liked,... | |
| Balanced vs RCA between amp/preamp BALANCED VS. UNBALANCED ANALOG INTERFACES https://benchmarkmedia.com/blogs/application_notes/balanced-vs-unbalanced-analog-interfaces?_pos=1&_sid=87340c17d&_ss=r With the Benchmark gear I had in the past it was XLR for best sound. | |
| The best speaker for a small room...at any price point. @jayh31 In my current 12x11x9 space, https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/7605I needed acoustic treatments to make the very small KEF LS50's sound their best. Without the treatments I was getting a headache listening to these small speakers at m... | |
| Best cables for Luxman Never heard them but something to consider. https://www.tonepublications.com/industry-news/new-from-luxman-premium-cables/ | |
| Persona 9h vs S3 mk 2 Thanks, the m900u would then be something special with the 9H. I have heard the 509x, while very good, the m900u is at a higher level. | |
| Persona 9h vs S3 mk 2 @brrgrr Hey where is the photo of what must be a beautiful system?@contuzzi Do you remember what Luxman model you heard the Persona with? | |
| Persona 9h vs S3 mk 2 My understanding is the 9H Is the better option for a smaller room over the 7F. Unless, a preamp with DSP is involved. | |
| The best speaker for a small room...at any price point. @supermerio I have heard Wilson a few times. I liked the Alexa 1 a lot, thought the Alexandria XLF was amazing, and also recently demoed the Sabrina ($16K). The Sabrina was physically small and was the only candidate for my current room. However, ... | |
| The best speaker for a small room...at any price point. @supermerio From your feedback it sounds like I would be foolish not to do a home demo of the Kaya 45. The dealer is reluctant, but it’s my money so he may have to reconsider that stance. @spinaker01 Based on my store demos my consensus is down to... | |
| The best speaker for a small room...at any price point. The G3 is a physically bigger speaker than the Kaya 45 which in my case is a good thing. The Kaya may work for me. I am posting some feedback below I got back from previous USA Vivid distributor and Vivid themselves. Could be useful for someone.... | |
| Luxman L-509x for B&W 803 D3 @thyname He was inferring that if you bought a m900u you can use the preamp section of the 509x standalone. You connect the 509x's XLR preamp output into the external m900u amp. There is a switch on the 509x that you likely need to flip. | |
| The best speaker for a small room...at any price point. @supermerio Thanks for that feedback. I may have to send you a message to ask some questions. I need to first compare the G3 to the Kaya 45. I also have 2nd bigger room (odd shaped) that my wife is saying it would be nice to have music in. | |
| Luxman L-509x for B&W 803 D3 @david_ten When I am a voice of reason then that is not too comforting. However, in my defense I do not have a good system yet, my KEF LS50 + Peachtree Nova 150 is a bedroom system. I am here weaving, bobbing, and talking the audio jive so I can ... | |
| Luxman L-509x for B&W 803 D3 @thyname What erik_squires described on a technical basis was what the dealer also told me was the reason the m900u sounded so much better.I am set on buying the m900u and I am trending towards not getting the Luxman c900u that almost all m900u ow... |
