- Wilsons were wired out of phase
- Serious digititis (from Marantz player?)
- Treble and bass were way too high
- Grip and control on speakers wasn't that great
What I heard was an all Luxman system with Nordost cabling. The Luxman CD player's DAC was used via ROON. The sound was non-fatiguing. It was actually one of the biggest takeaways I had as I made my long drive home. Sometimes in these demos I get a little carried away and crank up the volume. This time with the TAD ME1 and the Luxman electronics I did not have any fatigue issues. I did not crank it as loud as in some demos but it was at a level that could have give me headaches.
It would be great if Luxman would update their preamps with an integrated DAC (as an option) and streaming.Â
