| Which Hegel Amp with LRS+ For the last 2 weeks, I put a 200-watt modded Peachtree GAN1 amp on the LRS+ and it was more than enough for my small room. Evern in a mid-size room the 200 watts would be enough. Yesterday, I put my CODA #16 on the LRS+. It is ’only’ 150 watts b... | |
| Is it still worth buying a Lumin x1 in 2023? The rep from Lumin on Audioshark web site posted to me that the X1 will be the flagship for a while longer. Of course, if he said otherwise, people would wait. This was told to me about 3 months ago. | |
| Class A or Class D solid-state amplifiers (modern designs) @lancelock My dealer says he’s bringing the AGD Gran Vivace over for a listen so we will see how it stacks up to the Coda. Price wise it’s more apples to apples. Did you ever do the comparison of the Gran Vivace to the CODA #16? I also own th... | |
| Is it still worth buying a Lumin x1 in 2023? I just traded in my Lumin X1 for some speakers. However, I did this because I got a sonically better streamer, Playback Designs Streamer-IF, than the one on the X1 and I am looking for an FPGA DAC (Playback Designs). The streamer on the X1 is exc... | |
| Thinking of Magnepan ... finally! I lucked out and managed to grab my Benchmark LA4 preamp before the CVS drugstore where it was dropped off closed. A total mess-up on UPS delivery. I now have the CODA #16 | LRS+ | KC62 sub setup and the bottom-end is now present. It is a nice co... | |
| Thinking of Magnepan ... finally! @arafiq Unfortunately, I have not been able to hear the LRS+ at its best. I think I need a sub and I cannot use a sub easily without my Benchmark LA4 preamp. I sent the preamp in for repairs, and it was found to be working fine. So, when the unit ... | |
| New DACs High End Munich 2023 I think the way to go with my future DAC(s) is FPGA based. | |
| Maggie LRS amping question I will be happy with the LRS+ because my room will dictate that I do not get anything bigger. The LRS+ is not bad, I was hoping it would be as good as my RAAL SR1a earphones (read that in a review) but it is not. However, the LRS+ sounds excellent... | |
| Maggie LRS amping question Anyone use the Benchmark AHB2 stereo or mono on the LRS (or LRS+). | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta On a whim I managed to buy the Magnepan LRS+ from a dealer 2 weeks ago. I have them in my office system. It previously used the KEF LS50 Meta in this system. I still have the LS50 but the LRS+ is on stage now. I even repurchased the KEF KC62 sub ... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC When I read that post I was thinking that those guys must have some interesting hearing. | |
| Monoblock suggestions to compare to SimAudio Moon Neo 400M? @dynguy The 36 dB of gain is higher than my other amps. How does this effect the sound, ignoring Dirac. Is the volume too high at a low preamp volume setting? | |
| New to Preamp - Preamp suggestion around 10k Another much cheaper option is to send the Stax headphone to Mitch Barnett and let him create a convolution filter. https://accuratesound.ca/store/#_filter | |
| New to Preamp - Preamp suggestion around 10k If you do not want warmth and want a perfectly silent background, then check out the Holo Serene and Benchmark LA4. I used the HPA4 (same as LA4) with a warm Meze headphones and it was very good. I have not heard the Serene yet but the LA4 is my f... | |
| Thinking of Magnepan ... finally! On second thought, I am going to wait on the LA4 coming back from repairs. I want to test out the modded GAN1 with the Yamaha NS5000 speaker I have coming in the next 2 weeks. If the NS5000 sounds as good as the LRS+ on the GAN1, I should dump th... |
