| speaker endgame upgrade recommendations coming from Harbeth C7ES-3 XD2? A lot of this discussion gets down to the tonal value you enjoy. I have listened to more speakers than you can imagine and it's about your room, equipment and tonal values you enjoy. Can "musical" mean laid back and muffled and "resolving" mean ... | |
| Is anyone still using a CD Player This is the order of sound quality from top to bottom. CD's, rips, streaming. This was verified by a demo of all three with the same masters. | |

| Thinking about simplifying to an integrated amp Another option would be the Luxman 509z. A quality build with higher current and some have said it provides class A in the first 10 watts or so. This isn't mentioned in their literature but I really enjoy mine and it did replace some separates. | |
| Speaker placement and soundstage @markcasazza I would suggest that you take a look at the Wilson Audio Setup Procedure (W.A.S.P.). I tried a lot of the recommended mathematical procedures and found that they were helpful. The things that they didn't consider are the furnishings... | |
| Wilsons new flagship Color me jaded because I have never heard a Wilson speaker that I liked. | |
| Why for the life of me I can’t stay awake when listening to Music? The same thing happens to me. It really doen't matter on the music style. Usually I dose off for a few songs. I think it's because my mental mood changes and I release the stress and relax. After a few songs I come back and then just continue ... | |
| Concert Ticket Prices - Not a Rant - Just an Observation I have given up on large venues. I can afford the prices but can't afford the sound that isn't that great when my system sounds so much better. I go to smaller theater venues and the symphony. We also have a mucic theater company that puts on g... | |
| Looking to buy Luxman 509Z @alke1234 I bought a show demo from Albert at Precision Audio & Video in Chicago. It was in mint condition with a warranty. It was a very good price and he is a dealer on Audiogon. | |
| ACCUPHASE d-570S VS. LUXMAN D-07X SACD PLAYERS @kjl1056 I have found that AI to be generally helpful with audio questions.

| Does anyone have a digital system that is as involving as their analogue front end? I was at a high end shoot out with different digital sources on top end Wilson speakers and CH precision electronics and Shunyata cables that may have cost more than my entire system. The verdict was Cd sounded the best, ripped files were second ... | |
| Do You Ever Get Glare/Raspy Sound on High Pitched Female Vocal Lines? There is no raspy type of distortion on my system played through my Esoteric K-01XD se CD/SACD player with Vienna Acoustics Liszt speakers (soft dome tweeters) and a Luxman 509Z integrated amplifer. My thought is that it may be the speakers, but ... | |
| Does anyone have a digital system that is as involving as their analogue front end? My CD system sounds better than my analog system. The points to consider with analog are. Is it a new (digital) or analog record pressing. The variables of analog are the turntable, arm, cartridge, set up, and phono stage. Then you have the no... | |
| Buying a Luxman L505z from Japan If you ever want to get rid of it or trade up, the resell value will be peanuts, plus the warranty and repair issues. Find a U.S. dealer that has a demo or show unit with a full U.S. warranty. Precision Audio in Video is who I dealt with. |
