| Power Amplifier - Maximum Resolution & Detail! I forgot to mention that I also heard the CH Precision top of the line amp with the top end Clarisys speaker. That amp was amazing until I asked the price. over $100k. Not as warm as the CODA #16 and maybe the Luxman. I did not hear the Luxman on ... | |
| For SACD fans only @mahler123 does the Bryston DAC play the OPPOs output as pure DSD or PCM? | |
| Streamer between Roon Nucleus Plus and DAC I wrote a longer answer but Audiogo gremlins killed it. Since you use fibre just before the DAC you can add a streamer and get the benefit of moving your Nucleus away from your audio systems. Now I am not sure if that has any benefit since I assu... | |
| Power Amplifier - Maximum Resolution & Detail! Maximum detail and resolution = Benchmark AHB2. I was hoping to use them with my Yamaha NS5000 speaker. However, there was a tiny bit of hardness on top that made me look at other options. My system is neutral with only a bit of warmth from my Hol... | |
| Luxman owners @starboard I could not use a warm DAC with your 2 Luxman pieces. Though some people like that. Congrats on that gear. After a recent demo. I have my eyes on a m10x in my distant future. The 3 DACs that I will use with the m10x are the Schitt ... | |
| DACs - Holo/Kitsune, Bricasti, PS Audio, dCS, etc The guy at Holo/Kitsune is Tim Conner. He takes a bit of time to get back to you by email however, he does get back to you. I have purchased the Holo Serene preamp from him. I almost bought his personal Benchmark HPA4 preamp from him. He gave me ... | |
| what are the best sounding Accuphase or Luxman amps/preamps? @toronto416 I was in Toronto for a month in July-Aug and went to this guy's shop in Ajax. I went to hear the Clarisys speakers with a killer CH Precession amp. Home - Audio by Mark Jones They also had the Luxman m10x and I had a quick listen to ... | |
| Siamese Dream - Sound Quality? The Siamese Dream remaster from 2011 is definitely hotter sounding than the 1993 disk. Everything is louder and I even get a little bit of fatigue from the remaster. The 1993 CD sounds more subdued in comparison, but it also does not sound like it... | |
| Siamese Dream - Sound Quality? Siamese Dream is a classic album and one of the greatest in the grunge era. I can give a response on the sq of the CD next week when I am back home. BTW - a couple of recent Pumpkins releases are surprisingly amazing. I will post my new favs next... | |
| SimAudio Moon North Collection I live in California and the dealer is in Canada. I cannot bring anything to the shop in Canada and when I go home there is zero chance of doing any demos. I live in Los Angeles area, with great audio shops but I will be too busy with 2 full-time ... | |
| SimAudio Moon North Collection The systems are different, but the sonic signature of an amp is rather easy to hear in a good system. Are you talking about the Luxman m900u and the 10x? That was rather easy to hear with respect of the warmth of the amps. The speakers were Harbe... | |
| Peachtree Gan 400 I owned this amp 2x and it was very good for the price I paid ($1000). It had a tiny bit of fatigue with my very neutral preamp, but with a warmer preamp it would be rather impressive. | |
| Help - is Krell dead? George Meyer AV in Los Angeles They did a good job on my KRELL "repair". | |
| Replacing My Maggie 3.6R @jc4659 Please post your impressions of the Clarisys after your auditions. Thanks! I decided to visit Mark Jones Audio in Ajax, Ontario, Canada to hear the Clarisys speaker. They had the most expensive one in a room that was too small for it.... | |
| SimAudio Moon North Collection I went and heard the Luxman 10x amp for a short period at a dealer today. It was an improvement on the Luxman m900u for my ears. I liked the 900 a lot but thought it was too warm. The 10x is not as warm and a touch warmer than the SimAudio 761 tha... |
