Great, thank you - how can I find out if the pins match? Just ask Hegel and Luxman which of their pins are "hot?" Is there any doc anywhere that may have this info?
Help with XLR between Luxman L-509X & Hegel HD30 DAC
Hey there ... I have a Hegel HD30 DAC which will soon be plugged into a Luxman L-509X I'm awaiting delivery on.
Hegel says the best/preferred analog output of the HD30 is the XLR balanced outputs.
However, I have heard or read somewhere (I think) that either the Hegel or the Luxman has a different "hot" pin on their XLR connections.
Can anyone verify this, and is it something I need to be aware of when connecting the two via XLR? I always figured XLR was XLR, but I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that there can be different standards in the way these things are built.
Thanks!

@luxmancl38, thanks - I already had the Hegel, which I'm currently running into a Luxman CL40 valve preamp and M2000 power amp. Looking forward to the new L-509X to eliminate some boxes and update my sound... BUT I am also curious as to how the CL40 may sound as a preamp into the 509X. It is seriously the most incredible sound I have ever experienced. The pre in the 509X may be hard pressed to beat that valve warmth and sparkle of the CL40! |
