| What integrated should I upgrade to? Thanks Freediver. I am certain that tubes arguably have a sweeter sound, but this thing will stay on for hours at a time and I want to be able to turn it on with a remote. Most of the tube amps I have seen need to be turned on from a physical swit... | |
| What integrated should I upgrade to? Thanks jjss49. Was also considering a new Hegel H190. Would be slightly more costly than the used Luxman. But it would have the DAC. Like the PS Audio Strata, I'm not happy that there is no Roon support on either. Do you think the H120 would ... | |
| Looking for an integrated amp around 4000 to 5000. Anyone have thoughts on the Yamaha AS3000 versus Luxman L-505uXii? | |
| Luxman dealers I bought my Luxman L-590AxII from Suncoastaudio.com. Mike is great to work with and sure will give you a better deal. No tax when I purchased mine. Music Direct is great too, but they definitely collect sales tax. I purchased a new phonostage duri... | |
| Audio discounts during Coronavirus What dealers are giving 60% off? My local dealer won’t give me $5 off. | |
| Small space listening room Hi, when you say the FEQx4 took things to another level, can you elaborate? I have level 2 HFTs in my listening room and HFTx on my speakers. Just recently added XOTs to my speakers. There was an appreciable improvement with the XOTs. The imag... | |
| Has anyone finally decided to sell their Turntable and Vinyl collection? This is a great topic and something I also have been thinking about. I started my LP collection about 5 years ago. In that time, I've amassed around 1000. These are all high quality reissues; the vast majority from Analogue Productions / QRP, M... | |
| ps audio directstream junior discontinued? I've been using a DSJ for nearly a year now and have been extremely happy! It compares very favorably with the DAC in my Esoteric K-05 CDP. | |
| Forever turntable under $2000 I'd look for a nice used TT like @wspohn suggested. I like VPI personally. Clearaudio looks nice too, but never heard one. A used VPI Prime would be ideal. | |
| Which integrated amp do you suggest? Oh I forgot to mention that I tried an Outlaw receiver from Music Direct before getting the Cambridge CXA80. No comparison really. Sure it is a jack of all trades, but a master of none. | |
| Which integrated amp do you suggest? Cambridge Audio CXA80. You can get one for $999 online. It is awesome and lots of power. I use a pair of Wharfedale Reva 3s with it. It has a built in DAC which I think is decent. Especially for TV use. I would get something like a Bluesound Node ... | |
| Wharfedale - Reva/Diamond I love my Reva 3’s in gloss white! They look amazing! They also sound amazing. Soundstage is wide and midrange is wonderful. Full bodied vocals. The highs are also good. Not as much sparkle as my much more expensive Martin Logan electrostatic spea... | |
| Luxman Integrated - What do they sound like @erik_squires Hope all this helps! Let us know, if you decide to try a Luxman out. | |
| Luxman Integrated - What do they sound like HI Erik. I'm not sure I'm trained enough to notice any perceivable different between just turning it on and after about an hour or so warm-up. The sound is great immediately. When you take the unit out of idle, there is a 8 or so second period ... | |
| Luxman Integrated - What do they sound like hmm...not sure I understand what you are asking. But I will try.The Luxman is always in idle unless you unplug the cord. So pushing the power button on the unit just takes it out from idle and it's ready to go. It gets warm in about 30 minutes.... |
