| Luxman 505z @mksun I agree with the new LED volume display--looks really nice. I believe they changed the color of the VU meters to white from blue (505uxii). I love the ambiance of the blue meters for late night sessions. I plan to go to Axpona in April---ma... | |
| Luxman 505z I'd love to audition one but my local dealer doesn't carry Luxman---I'd have to drive quite a ways to try one. I'd prefer not to pay $$$ for an amp that's just splitting hairs in my amp and the new 505z. But moving to the 507z might just do it. Bu... | |
| Fern & Roby Amp #2 Hi Bob---I've recently heard the amp #2 at my local dealer. It's a great sounding amp. The store owner was streaming some good music on a nice pair of Graham speakers. I thought it was another amp but when I asked, he said it was the amp #2. It re... | |
| Capital Audiofest Coming Up! Wish I could have gone this year---was Luxman there to show their new 'Z' integrated amps? If so, any thoughts? | |
| Pop album that has stood the test of time Great topic and way too many to name for me. But here are the ones that I have that come to mind: The Smiths - (any of them) but The Queen is Dead Pet Shop Boys - Please New Order - Technique Madonna - Erotica FGTH - Welcome to the Pleasuredo... | |
| Where to purchase cables? I've got WyWires (Blue series), Morrow (online) and recently Cardas. All are great cables---I've been very impressed with Cardas so far. I purchased the Cardas from Dedicated Audio (online)---they are excellent to deal with. The WyWires I purchase... | |
| New Cure Release It's been getting rave reviews---I've heard a few songs and like it so far. Sounds like they're sticking to their roots. Depeche Mode's last album was also quite good despite Andy Fletcher's passing. Pet Shop Boys latest is also excellent. Feels l... | |
| Can't get Bluesound Node to connect to DAC via iFi iPurifier2 ? So my experience with my Bluesound Node and Ifi wasn't good either. I have an Ifi Zen DAC V2 that worked great when I connected it via my MacBook to the stereo. BUT, connecting it to the Node didn't work out. I tried every connection imaginable, c... | |
| Speaker candidates/suggestions @agwca I auditioned the Bison towers, not the bookshelf speakers. They were too small for my room, unfortunately. They had great imaging and soundstage. I ended up keeping the Tektons and selling the Sugden. I kept the Belles Aria. I ended up buyi... | |
| Best standmounts with a 7" woofer/driver I have to agree with @nonoise @grislybutter on this one--hard to beat the Atalante 3s. I'm still breaking mine in. I traded in my Dynaudio Special 40s for the Revivals. I have a REL T7x that I occasionally used with the S40s but I haven't used... | |
| Primare/ Vincent Adio /NAD /Rogue/ AVA /Hegel...- need a simple and reliable integrated @gano I purchased mine (demo) from Audio Connection in NJ. Ask for Johnny Rutan---excellent dealer. https://www.audioconnect.com Hope this helps! | |
| Primare/ Vincent Adio /NAD /Rogue/ AVA /Hegel...- need a simple and reliable integrated @gano Look into the Belles Aria integrated. American made, 75wpc, phono stage, headphone amp. It's a great amp---lots of positive reviews on AG. Cost is $2500 but you can get a demo at a good deal. Good luck! | |
| Dynaudio Evoke 20 vs. Totem Signature One vs. Acoustic Revival Adalante 3 @billynine Will your hifi dealer let you audition the speakers at home with your own equipment, cables, etc? Let us know how it goes and what you end up getting. BTW, if you have good speaker stands, you can get the Atalante 3s without the stand... | |
| Dynaudio Evoke 20 vs. Totem Signature One vs. Acoustic Revival Adalante 3 Great choices in speakers. My two cents: I recently put my Dynaudio Special 40s on consignment at my local hifi store. I’ve owned them since 2019 and really enjoyed them----UNTIL I heard the Atalante 3s. I helped the store owner unbox them in the ... | |
| What's Up With Jane's Addiction? I saw the videos online---I'm not a huge fan of JA but like some of the other posters pointed out, the guy was def on something. You can see it in his eyes. Navarro's facial expression was like 'WTF, dude?!' Sorry the fans had to witness that espe... |
