| Luxman L 505 U Integrated Amplifier I mixed this amp in with an Ax7e and an ARC Vsi-55. Both were better than the Luxman to my ears and system. I think you can do better at this price point. Get into the better Luxman gear and all bets are off. | |
| How to make sound less detailed with warmth? The most obvious solution is to listen to some different speakers. You can drag it out but the speakers are the key to the sound you are looking for. | |
| With $20,000 in your hand, what speaker would you Some of my favorites are from Verity, Rockport, and Magico. I'd haul in the suitcase full of lute and leave with one of these. | |
| Which Integrated tube amp? I wouldn't look for a random amp and then try to pair speakers to it. This seems like a huge waste of energy. I could understand this approach if you listened to five 300B amps with different speakers and the 300b sound was "The One."I suggest lis... | |
| Mastersound Amps. Anything similar you'd recommend Compact 845 listed today. I'd love to put this amp up against my Avatar SE for a month or two. Anyone willing to give me a bridge loan? | |

| Loss of bass in Audio research vsi 55 The Audio Research folks that answer the phone are really nice and helpful. If they can't answer your question they transfer you to someone that can (they seem to check to make sure that person can take the call too.) I've only called a few times ... | |
| Double width studs for isolation? Construction and insulation are most often left to idiots that build homes costing hundreds of dollars to heat or cool. Look to green building practices because they tend to match audiophile needs. Good houses are solid (Thermal mass), sealed, hig... | |
| Loss of bass in Audio research vsi 55 In the VSi-55 you bias the 6550's. Is it possible that one on the other 3 tubes is bad? Have you changed them to different positions? | |
| High Pwr Tube Integrated for Inefficient Speakers? You might think a little more about changing speakers rather than struggling to find a tube amp, if you prefer tubes. | |
| Mastersound Amps. Anything similar you'd recommend I agree with Johnk about the PMC not being the best pairing with Mastersound. I've heard a few Mastersound amps in my system and they are awesome. I can't believe some of them are selling so cheaply on this site.If you like the sound of tubes you ... | |
| Understanding Mcintosh Meters? I had the MA 6450 and the meters come in handy to the extant that you know when you are coming close to overdriving the amp. As far as reading them, the 6450 has an 8 ohm and 4 ohm overlay. You read the top or bottom, depending on the impedance of... | |
| First Trip outside of Best Buy, a real newbie. I don't have anything new to add only that you might consider picking up a used helicopter. An old Agusta or something that's reliable will really expand your search range. The dealer always knows you're serious when you call ahead to arrange a ro... | |
