| Rega, Levinson or other Integrated for Avalon Eidelon Diamond @hk_fan thanks for sharing the link. Seems like there were some issues with the earlier 5805 models. I'm told the one I'm looking at was manufactured in December 2020. Hopefully bugs were worked out by then. @audphile1 Thanks for sharing the Cod... | |
| Rega, Levinson or other Integrated for Avalon Eidelon Diamond Thanks for the suggestions! I will do some research on them. I know Levinson is high end brand but any feedback on their reliability? I had a power amp (forget the model) that had to be serviced before I bought it. Never gave me any issues while I... | |
| Rega, Levinson or other Integrated for Avalon Eidelon Diamond I can do that. Do you think the 250 watts power the Rega puts out is sufficient for the Avalon Eidelon’s? | |
| Rega, Levinson or other Integrated for Avalon Eidelon Diamond Thanks for the feedback. Why you think? | |
| Need new speakers to pair with my Luxman MQ88uc amp @jc51373 Yes, I have CL 38uC for sale along with my MQ 88uC for sale on A.M. Need to list them here as well. This combination of amp and preamp has been very satisfying. Musical with enough staging and detail to for any audiophile. They probably w... | |
| Need new speakers to pair with my Luxman MQ88uc amp Actually $3600. They’re demos a friend of mine is selling. That’s good feedback. Would like some bass without adding subs. Mids and imaging are good! Thx. | |
| Feedback requested on new speakers to pair with my Luxman MQ88uc tube amp The DeVore’s 96 or 93 definitely on the top of my list for this amp but not quite there with the budget. Hopefully, next purchase. Thanks for the feedback on the 4 ohm speakers. Definitely something to consider. There are a pair of Valencia A’s in... | |
| Best turntable under $4000 I’ve had a few > $4K turntables in my day. Some mentioned here and all of them good. I moved on just to experience something new. I sold a 1200G to buy my current table, a Luxman PD 171. The 1200G is certainly a nice table. Very stable speed, e... | |
| Denon DL-302 rebuild thoughts So, boron with microridge stylus the way to go with this cart rebuild? | |
| Denon DL-302 rebuild thoughts I have a Ortofon Cadenza Black I feel I set up pretty good and have the tools to handle it. What sonic advantages are there with the micro-ridge with the aluminum vs. the boron cantilever with this level of cart? There is a $150 price difference ... | |
| Denon DL-302 rebuild thoughts Thanks for the input JasonBourne52. @normansizemore you didn’t mention which canti/stylus combo you think might sound best on the 302? | |
| Best place to insert a new higher end cable in my system? To clarify, when we say source are you all saying try with a particular source or my most used source like my Sony HAP server/streamer? AQ seems to be a polarizing brand but they’ve served me well. I will say that I bought two sets of Nordost s... | |
| Best place to insert a new higher end cable in my system? Thanks to everyone for your feedback. I will certainly start from my source to my preamp and go from there. I had done searches before on best type of IC to use from your amp and couldn’t find anything conclusive but from this thread it appears, i... | |
| Amp matching with high sensitivity speakers Thanks @Mulveling for the explanation! That could explain some hum concerns I experience when moving interconnects and components in and out. The gain for the Levinson is 26db. The gain from my Audible Illusions L3A is 30dB which seems quite a bit... | |
| Amp matching with high sensitivity speakers Sounds like I have some options for amps for these speakers, which is what I was hoping for. I will say things don’t sound of out whack with my 300 watt Levinson, which many would consider over kill for these speakers but it’s what I have right no... |
