Please help me!


Dear Audiophile^^
I need your help before I sold my units  that I have now. Where to go. What should I do or do I think what I have now is right? Please give me valuable advice. As someone who has listened to Bach and Baroque for nearly 40 years, I'm just a music lover, not an Audiophile. So even more desperately, I need your help.
I have now Luxman L507uxii intergrated Amplifier and Marten Duke2.
I was so happy to hear in every single thing that was so detailed and passed by without just listening, but the problem is that I can't listen to music in front of audio for as long as I used to.
Last year, I had a chance to borrow a wonderful Luxman SQ-38u and listen to it.

Of course deep and wide more powerful than my L-507uxii sound. Really cool
But I couldn't hear it because of the hum noise because I couldn't take it off for a day. The person who allowed to me listen said "you need a AC power conditioner"
Not long ago, I bought WAudio AC power Purifier from Amazon.

It was quite different when I connected with L507uxii.
Oh, that's why he told  me to do it.
And around Thanksgiving week last year,
I had chance to visit my uncle in S. Korea.

He had The Fisher 500 C and AR 5 speakers. That was fantastic can't speak able.
Since then, I've been thinking about what I have now, and I thought I had to change something.
So what I'm thinking about now is.
1.Leben CS300XS w /Phono + Graham LS5/5 or  Harbeth M40.3 XD or Devore orangutan O/96

2. Solid state A class intergrated amp like a
Luxman L595A-SE, L590AXii etc...
Problem is that I don't know how to handle vacuum tube amplifiers at all. I'm not lying, but the reason I got the integration amp is because I don't know how to connect the preamp and the power amplifier. It may sound like a lie, but it's true.
Oh BTW my room size is 10' x 10 3/4'
Please considering.



I can't appreciate every single person as physically but I will pray for you and your life with GREATEST NAME "JESUS " whole entire my life and SHALOM for everyone.
Thank you for your precious time given for unknown people.

You sound like a particle in a box.  relax and slow down.

My only real comment is that the cheap power conditioner is not suited to power your amp.  test it plugged into the wall.

And remember, the human mind can interpret "different" as "improvement".  Do A/B testing, back and for for several hours, before you conclude that the different sound is actually better.

Sir, by your self description you would be much better off with a solid state integrated that has tube characteristics like the Pass Labs INT 60. Team this with the Harbeth SHL5+ loudspeaker and you with have the system of your dreams. You will also need speaker stands. The tweeter should be at ear level when you are seated at your favorite position. Tubes are NEVER as simple as solid state amps as they always need to be changed lasting at best a few years. Many go bad in only a few months. They can be very unpredictable.  

Don't sell anything. Your gear is not the problem. Check your cartridge stylus and alignment from time to time though.

Your room dimensions, 10' by 10' is a problem (modal hell and reflections). When spurious reflections/relective sound and direct sound arrive at your ears too close in time, it will fatigue your brain. Room modal resonances can cause fatigue over time.

For now, move your listening seat close to the speakers and try listening in nearfield. Adjust toe-in angles. Start treating your room (room treatment).

Man's innate madness, endless ignorance and arrogance  will make him pray for anything and everything, as you may know. However, this planet is quite fortunate that most prayers in this world go unanswered. If every guy's prayers were answered, the planet will just cease to exist and humanity will end. 

So, please don't ever start praying for me man...thank you.  You could pay for my lunch at a cheap restaurant though (mapo tofu with pork and rice).

 

I recommend you set your system up in a rectangular room. Your 10 feet X 10 feet room will have incurable bass resonances that will muddy up the sound. You could remove one wall.

Why spend thousands on an integrated amp? For $249 you can buy a pair of Fosi V3 Monos with the 48 volt power supply. Add a $149 Schiit Mani 2 phono stage and you will have a combination sonically better than any Luxman!
