| Buying a Luxman L505z from Japan @edubbers "@nwres where did you purchase yours from?" Amazon | |
| Sweet Enjoying the music immersed in the the real sounds of strings, horns and percussion is all we could want. Appreciating the bliss of sound diminishes the gear. A nice place to be! | |
| Buying a Luxman L505z from Japan Most of the naysayers have never tried to power a Japan amp with a step down. I have done so successfully with Luxman and Accuphase. With the Accuphase's, I used a step down before having converted to US 120V spec. NO difference in sound. I secon... | |
| What about all those Chinese DACs? I have found that the specs only tell a small part of the story. How does the DAC sound? How does the music it produces make you feel? Does it sound real and alive and true? FWIW, I find the Audio Mirror Tubadour VI is the most beautiful DAC I ha... | |
| Looking for Power amplifiers with built in A/B speaker switches Given your budget, I would move forward with the Accuphase P-4600. Hard to beat with its build quality and features. I also run a Coda amp as my primary, the Coda S5.5. The only Accuphase I have is an old P-300V built in 1988. The P300V also has t... | |
| My streamer doesn't have a good fantom centerDSP I agree with @mm1tt77 , There are great used R2R Dac's that have an analog sound. Your Cambridge may be the problem, and if it is the DAC module that is the issue then a separate DAC could be the fix, assuming the Cambridge allows for a digital ou... | |
| Japanese Voltage. I have had success with using voltage transformers for Japan voltage amps. Also no noise introduced. I have always used transformers that have at least 3 times the continuous output compared to the max wattage consumption of the amp. Perhaps not r... | |
| Strange Behavior for New Tubes in Preamp Seems like the gold pin tubes and the 6922's are just bad tubes or for some reason are not playing well with the circuit. It happens, trial and error can be part of the tube game. I have had great luck buying NOS E88CC Amperex tubes from Brent Jes... | |
| Veritas Cables a new brand that I found Appreciate your feedback @v-fi ! | |
| Veritas Cables a new brand that I found @v-fi Curious what other I2S cables you compared against the Optimus? | |
| Veritas Cables a new brand that I found Thanks @tubeguy80 I was hoping for Connexa 1 vs MK2 so your input will be great to hear. | |
| Veritas Cables a new brand that I found Curious if anyone has tried the newer Connexa mk2 Ethernet? I have a few of the Mirus line and am very pleased with the performance. I may want to try the Connexa mk2 from the wall to my switch and move one Mirus to an Apple TV box. | |
| What wire to use instead of Romex Depends on the local code requirements that your HOA is following. In some states, though not common, hollow (metal/Alum) conduit is required to be bent and set, then solid wire fished through. MC flex cables may only be used for certain lengths o... | |
| Speakers That Won't Sound Too Smooth Or Soft with Luxman L-590AXII I had the L-550AXII and own the 595ASE. The 590 and 595 are more alike than different. The Class A Lux integrated's sound best with higher efficiency speakers with easy to drive impedance loads. In general, if the speakers sound great with tube am... | |
| Has anyone compared the Merason Reuss and DAC 1 ? No experience with the Reuss. I had an in home trial of the Dac 1 MK2 which is a wonderful analog sounding DAC. It was A/B compared to a highly modifies Orchid with a 7308 CCA tube. The two were more alike than different and felt it would be a sid... |
