| Separates over time, or Integrated now? Decision update: I am buying the C2800 now or the MC462 now, the other component in 12 months. Really just deciding which to buy first that will be most impactful. From what I’ve read, replacing the pre-amp functionality with a quality sepa... | |
| Separates over time, or Integrated now? lanx0003 1,990 posts 07-11-2026 at 12:48pm X5 does not have Main-In. If you're instead feeding the C2800 into one of the X5's regular line inputs, you'll be cascading two preamps, which is generally not ideal because it adds unnecessary gain ... | |
| Subwoofer Choice @james633 No, unfortunately the Michi X5 does not contain any sort of crossover controls but does allow for some simple tone controls (treble, bass and that's it). Not sure if those controls apply to the high level outs only? So, as a more g... | |
| Subwoofer Choice Thank you for so much good information, this forum never disappoints and is always so knowledgeable! So, after further thought (and contrary to my follow up post above) I decided to stick with the REL and buy up to the S line. I picked up two S/... | |

| Tube Preamp --> Solid State Amp Thanks all--I agree on duplicating the preamp feature of the X5 and will stick with the X5. | |
| Tube Preamp --> Solid State Amp Oh no, maybe it doesn't from what I can tell... Here is a snippet of the back of the unit and also link to the manual. Is that your conclusion? Sorry, I'm not a pro here | |
| Dipswitches for Lehmann Audio Black Cube SE II Thank you! | |
| Top 3 Headphones Lots of good options and opinions, thanks so much. I'm narrowing between the Focal Utopia and the HIFIMAN Susvara. Looks like I'll save $1,000 on the Focals, but based on the above comments and the research I've done they excel in staging and m... | |
| POP sound when turning off TT @ibmjunkman yes unfortunately you have to turn off the psu in order to stop the rotation. @testpilot are you insinuating that something internally has failed, or that the failure is inherent to the design and I will need to solve for it with ... | |
| POP sound when turning off TT Ok picked up the Isobar. Thanks! | |
| POP sound when turning off TT I don't have any kind of conditioning gear currently. Would this work? | |
| Advice on Integrated Receiver Thank you for that. I did purchase the Lehmann Audio Black Box SE II so I’m hoping that’s sufficient if I bypass the phono on the Lux | |
| Advice on Integrated Receiver @builder3 what speakers do you run with the Luxman? |
