| Who has experience with audiophile circuit breakers? On a more serious note; I have, over the years upgraded my gear, made my own interconnects and speaker cable runs. I've made most of my mistakes by selling gear that was better than I knew due to having needs for servis, or poor impeedence matchin... | |
| Who has experience with audiophile circuit breakers? Do I have to make an appointment to have this audiophile air delivered? | |
| Luxman preamp into Mark Levinson amp? Thank you Hasmarto. I'll check it out. | |
| Luxman preamp into Mark Levinson amp? I am amazed at how the sound stage envelops me. I have heard wide that goes outside the speakers and I have experienced some depth of sound stage but this is new to me. The sound stage is wide and each instrument has a well defined location. What ... | |
| Luxman preamp into Mark Levinson amp? Ok, I've spent some time listening. My thoughts are......WOW! The difference between the Luxman and the Audio Research SP8 is huge. I will have to get the SP8 in for service to be fair and I don't think the impedence match makes it a fair compairs... | |
| Luxman preamp into Mark Levinson amp? It's all warming up now. I'm going to give it a good soak before I sit for a listen. I'm excited! Might just give it an houre or so. | |
| Luxman preamp into Mark Levinson amp? I really appreciate all the contributions to this thread. You guys have really helped me. Yesterday I spent about 10 hours driving time and about an hour auditioning the amp. It's home now and in my line of sight as I sip coffee. Yippy! So far it'... | |
| Luxman preamp into Mark Levinson amp? Thank you Hasmarto. I am aware of the expense of NOS tubes and have a hard time justifying the cost. That may be due to lack of experience but NOS Mullard EL34 are crazy expensive. With the reproduction Mullards comming out of Russia, who knows wh... | |
| Luxman preamp into Mark Levinson amp? Good point. I remember reading they use JJ's. I must have been reading promotional material because they described them as a great tube. What tubes would you reccomend. | |
| Luxman preamp into Mark Levinson amp? Thanks for the good news. I have secured a deal on the Luxman and hope to pick it up tomorrow or the day after. I'm confident this is going to deliver the smoth open sound I am looking for. I feel the same as many of you who have used tubes in fro... | |
| Luxman preamp into Mark Levinson amp? Thank you Mike. I had my Audio Research SP8 in the mix and I could only go 3 or 4 clicks of volume. Was looking at inserting a luminous audio technology Axiom Signature passive preamp into the chain. Instead I am currently using it instead of the ... | |
| Luxman preamp into Mark Levinson amp? Thank you Kofibaffor | |
| Luxman preamp into Mark Levinson amp? Good morning Kofibaffour. Could you elaborate a bit on the term "true voltage source". I'm thinking the ability of the amp to double watts as load is halved suggests the amp comes close to pushing the full hous current threw the system. Is this ki... | |
| Luxman preamp into Mark Levinson amp? Thank you Seismic. I haven't gotten it out yet but my attenuater is a single pot volume so it will be simple. I suppose placing the attenuator between the amp and pre makes more sense than between the CD and pre. Thanks for your info. | |
| Luxman preamp into Mark Levinson amp? Thanks for your input Kofibaffour. I wish I had more of a background in electronics. I try to coble information from experiencial evidence and anicdote. Not the best way to go. I connected an Audio Research SP8 to the ML and it was getting loud at... |
