| KEF LS50 or Harbeth P3ESR for desktop system? On Wed I had some time to kill in Los Angeles so I went to hear some gear I am about to buy, specifically Luxman m900u amp and I was deciding on the c900u amp.First thing I did was wait for the dealer to finish with another customer. So he gave me... | |

| KEF LS50 or Harbeth P3ESR for desktop system? @bilitz I listen to the KEF LS50 all day in my home office with a Peachtree Nova 150 class D integrated. I have no fatigue and I am easily susceptible to fatigue from bad sound. I need to acoustically treat my room, because it is small, but any sp... | |
| Ethernet Capable DACs I just did a search and came across a thread I started regarding Ethernet capable DACs. It looks like this is becoming more of a common thing. However, it looks like wired Ethernet is not the best choice in many DACs that offer it.It seems that SF... | |
| Which would you choose; Pass 250.8, arc 75SE or luxman m900u? I went yesterday and listened to the Luxman m900u amp and c900u preamp. The reason for this second visit to the dealer (Excel Audio in Newport Beach CA) was to determine if I needed to get the c900u preamp or if a lesser preamp with a DAC and room... | |
| which network streamer without DAC? Have you looked at the capabilities of the Sonare opticalModule. I am learning about this now and it seems like something to understand before buying the units mentioned above. https://www.sonore.us/systemoptique.html | |
| Anyone going to the 2019 "The Show?" @steakster The Pacific Surfliner is nice.I have taken it down to San Diego.@tablejockey Last month I made it down to Newport area to hear the Luxman 509x. I had about 10 minutes time window to listen to the Luxman m900u+c900u combo to escape out ... | |

| What is the best solid state amplifier you have ever heard? @dpac996 You are a lot smarter than me. I went to audition the 509x and liked it a lot. The c900+m900u were both sitting there unused and I gave into weakness and asked to switch the speaker cables onto the separates. Big mistake for my financial ... | |
| Digital room correction BTW - I should have added that the MAC Men220 is a implementation of Lyngdorfs RoomPerfect. This feature seems to be not being available anymore from Lyngdorf as a single room correction only unit. MAC still sells the MEN220.Here is a good review ... | |
| Digital room correction The most popular 2-channel gear seem to be the new preamps with a DAC | preamp | Room Correction all built into 1 unit.The companies with these popular units do not seem to have a room correction only unit. Lyndgrof used to have one but I no longe... | |
| Computer to DAC Streamer @mgrif104 Congrats on the new streamer. I am sure it will sound good. I am starting to feel that all of the streamers discussed in this thread are rather good and some are great. I am looking for great (reason for thread).I felt the NAD m12/m22 s... | |
| What is the best solid state amplifier you have ever heard? Luxman m900u is my favorite so far and one I hope to get in 6 months. | |
| Computer to DAC Streamer @shredder Thanks for the explanation. Sounds like I should contact Sonare and talk with one of their reps about the optical.@emcdade I actually have this same thread on CA but the responses here have been more enlightening. What you are saying is ... | |
| Computer to DAC Streamer @shredder Can you explain to me how the optical version differs from the microRendu? What does OPTICAL mean in this context? I looked in the Sonare web site to figure this out but it was not clear to me. |
