| Help with XLR ICs. @audphile1 or anyone, would like to know if you hear a rather noticeable or significant difference when you changed from the Acoustic Zen to the Nordost Tyr XLR, or any XLR to another XLR cable? Currently I have two pairs of XLR in the price ran... | |

| Example of a piece o’ crap, useless review I used to buy hifi magazines when I was in my teens until the early twenties. I stopped reading the mags approaching 30 when I realize it's a waste of time (and money). | |
| Have Luxman 509x. Considering Pass Labs INT-250 or Dan D’Agostino Progression Integrated @denon1 appreciate the update. The 509Z sounds like a gem. | |
| Have Luxman 509x. Considering Pass Labs INT-250 or Dan D’Agostino Progression Integrated Thanks Denon1. I would be looking forward to your experience with the 509z. | |
| Handling Heavy Amps I carried my 180lb Krell FPB 600 upstairs by myself. You are strong, or I'm weak. :-) I could only manage about 100lb in my prime. | |
| Have Luxman 509x. Considering Pass Labs INT-250 or Dan D’Agostino Progression Integrated Also, how does the L-509X compare to the 507Z and 509Z? | |
| Have Luxman 509x. Considering Pass Labs INT-250 or Dan D’Agostino Progression Integrated First it was luxman 590axii that to my ears was more organic than pass. I changed it later to luxman 507z and sound became liquid with better bass and blacker background. now ordered luxman 509z. Should get it soon. @denon1 i currently own t... | |
| Handling Heavy Amps My criteria of any component purchase is I have to be able to comfortably carry it alone, unaided. It used to be 100 lbs about 20 years ago. These days it’s 65 lbs. I won’t consider any heavy gear I am unable to handle alone, even though it may s... | |
| Luxman leaves me wanting My current system is a Luxman L590-AXII driving DeVore Gibbon Super Nines. My source is Lumin U1-Mini (w/Sboosterj and Denafrips Venus II. Also a Rega P3. Speaker and interconnect cables are circa late 90s Cardis Cross There is a lot that is righ... | |
| Do You Buy Speakers Without Hearing Them? If I have the opportunity to hear them, yes. Ortherwise, no. My last two purchases were based on reviews on forums. Marten Duke 2 and Graham LS5/9. | |
| Calling Owners of Wireworld Platinum Eclipse 8 XLR Hi Jafant, I wrote a long post just to lose it and now I’ve to type it all over again. I’ll make it short this time. The Furutech DPS4.1/FI-50 NCF (R) mains power cable really changes everything. When combined with the existing Acrolink power cord... | |
| Experiences With Costly Balanced XLR Interconnects Above $3,000 Hi Mark, thanks for the comprehensive response, appreciated. After reading about your experiences, the DA6300 will likely be my final cable upgrade before I call it a day. Your components and speakers are all top-notch so the system deserves the A... | |
| Experiences With Costly Balanced XLR Interconnects Above $3,000 I just bought the Acrolink DA6300 after comparing with Jorma, Vertere, Argento Flow and MIT. The DA6300 was the quietest and had more depth and separation. Vertere was also very good the others smooth but homogenous sound in my system. The DA6300... | |
| Calling Owners of Wireworld Platinum Eclipse 8 XLR Thanks. It's very good. I believe it's fully broken in at this point but the new Furutech DPS4.1 / FI-50 NCF (R) mains power cable which I got about two weeks ago is still in the process of breaking in. There were ups and downs but it's sounding a... |
