always need to understand what any reviewers’ frame of reference is
sean is a good guy, but he reviews denon yamaha marantz, no name china tube amps...
of course he would be impressed with a luxman... do you think it might become his ’reference’ ???

Was just throwing it out there JJ, wasn't judging the guy |

oh why, does an expensive amplifier such as this, include the addition
of a switch, and additional wires / traces, for speaker switching /
headphone listening. I have bypassed this switching and additional
wiring, in several amplifiers ( most of them, coincidently, were of
Japanese origin ), and the sound, became cleaner, had more detail,
embraced me with a quieter black background, and showed me, much more
dynamic capability. It is so easy to piggy back additional amplifiers,
for a secondary system / additional set of speakers. So, given how good
this amplifier is, I know, it could be better. I am sorry if I hurt
feelings here.
Well, you can always engage the 'Line Straight' feature, and bypass all of that. |
People like me actually use these features. If I'd wanted a minimalist setup I'd have bought something else.

I'm inclined to think a lot of people have ideas about how they must sound, without having heard it.
