| D to A Converters Hi vermontstephen - I've been using a Steinberg UR22mkII for A to D conversion and Steinberg Wavelab Elements to record and process the tracks. The combo works great for me. I have a substantial collection of 78 rpms and a handful of LPs that aren... | |
| Luxman preamp into Mark Levinson amp? Love to hear you're pleased with the outcome so far! Your experience is very similar to mine when first putting the two together - an immediate sense of greater fullness with a super smooth top end. On the topic of volume pot positioning - mine a... | |
| Transparent Audio XLR question for those who use their XLR interconnects For what it's worth, I went from good quality single-ended interconnects (e.g., Audience Au24 SX) to balanced (i.e., XLR) Transparent interconnects over the past couple of years and haven't looked back for a moment. Whereas you've gone to Gen 6 S... | |
| Luxman preamp into Mark Levinson amp? Hasmarto raises a good point - I had swapped out the original JJs with Genalex Gold Lions for all of the tubes and that's what I've been running since. I can't offer an opinion on any difference between the two tube sets as it was a few years ago ... | |
| Luxman preamp into Mark Levinson amp? I recently paired up my Luxman CL-38u and Mark Levinson 23.5 in my 2nd system, and was immediately taken by the great match they make with my Proac Response 2.5 speakers. I have no experience of any kind with Wilson Watt Puppies, but I can say I'... | |
| Help With Buzzing Sound Congratulations on the fix - great to hear (no pun intended)! | |
| Help With Buzzing Sound First, of course, try to rule out any issues with the amp itself, but here's my similar story: A few years ago I spent an inordinate amount of time chasing down a buzz from a single of my two monoblocks, and ultimately fixed (i.e., completely eli... | |
| What front end piece should I upgrade? I recently purchased a SIM Audio Moon 390D DAC and am very pleased with its characteristics. I raise the point as it sounds like you’re looking for improved lower frequency range and that’s exactly what I experienced with this DAC - a boost in low... | |
| the gateway product that turned you into an audiophile I forgot what amp I was using, but it as a pair of Proac Studio 1 monitors I picked up that really did it for me. I fed them with an average turntable and McIntosh C20 preamp, which prior to that I had not been able to fully appreciate. I was in m... | |
| Send in the Clowns Thanks for starting the thread - this debate has bothered me for some time. The career I've been in for nearly 30 years involves analytical testing of both fluidic and electronic systems, all of which sits well outside the realm of audio. That ex... | |

| The new Denon turntable, DP-3000NE. Any owners out there???? I'm another very pleased owner as of the last year or so. Nothing but good experience with it, and I do actually make use of the 78rpm speed option as well. Very solid build. | |
| Holographic DAC With Air And Decay +1 @fsonicsmith For your pricepoint, you might take a listen to a Mark Levinson 360S. Yes - quite old, but in my experience very nicely carries forward the air, decay, and details already in the program material... | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? Dead and Co at the Sphere in Vegas on 10-Aug. It was their last show of their residence there and it was an amazing event - highly recommended venue! | |
| Amps that don’t impersonate space heaters. I used to run a BAT VK55SE amp and loved the sound, but couldn't bear the high temps in the summer. I picked up a pair of Atmasphere Class D monoblocks prior to last summer and haven't looked back. Much as it bothers me, I never put the BAT back i... |
