can you add tone controls to a primaluna HP integrated amp
Ah yes it was only a matter of time before "tone shaming" emerges.That's almost as much fun as "what the artist intended" mumbo jumbo.Have FUN with your system, above all. 
can you add tone controls to a primaluna HP integrated amp
Use Roon and its incredible DSP features. You are missing out if you continue to suffer poor tonally balanced recordings. Roon has given crappy recordings brand new life.Do not cycle hardware components trying to tune for a certain tone. I have a ... 
Prima Luna EVO series amps/preamps now available...
Hey PL enthusiasts! I had a PL Dialogue Premium HP integrated with Focal Aria 948's for a while. The speakers didn't do it for me (i rolled lots of different tubes, but eventually could not overcome persistent brightness); Long story short, moved ... 
Luxman L509X owners - Question about Main In
@dpac996 , Are you saying run from the preout on the 509X directly into the Main In, like a loop? So like play music from the DAC plugged into BAL 1, run a plug from PRE-OUT to the MAIN IN jacks right next to it? Will that damage anything, or at... 
Luxman L509X owners - Question about Main In
Try running your pre out directly from 509 to the main in on the 509. Then hit the seperate button.I highly doubt there is an issue with 509.HT gnd loops are notorious for weird issues like this 
What is the best solid state amplifier you have ever heard?
yyzsantabarbaraI have not heard the m-900u. As good as the 509x is I am sure I will instantly want it...but from what I have heard, it really needs to be driven from the c-900u preamp to totally manifest its magic. This is not in my budget at this... 
What is the best solid state amplifier you have ever heard?
Luxman 509X. Incredible. Do not WANT to hear the M-900U/C-900U which is the Luxman combo that is appreciably better than the 509X. Supposedly the 509X is 90% of this top combo;The engineering that went into the 509X receives maximum applause from ... 
Computer to DAC Streamer
Can anyone point me to measurements of electrical noise on various USB ports captured by a high precision (16 bit) oscilloscope?I would love to see if there is any noise on the data lines (+/-) as well as ground and +5VBUS from a "noisy PC" compar... 
Audirvana Plus vs Roon - High Sound Quality at Lower Cost?
I recently installed Audirvana on my Win 10 Pro PC (also has Roon) to test the SQ differences. Through my headphones I can clearly hear that Audirvana is superior to Roon. The difference I am hearing is more than the difference I heard when compar... 
Gryphon Diablo 300 Has Arrived: First Impressions.
Great thread. I have a mild curiosity about comparisons between the 300 and Luxman 509X. I am using my 509x with Dynaudio Contour 60’s and there is much to love about the results. I did have a Pass Labs x250.8 with XP20 just prior to the 509. Ever... 
Where are the Exogal Vortex streamers?
are the Vortex Streaming devices shipping yet? I have a Comet Plus and while I love the sound quality, especially DSD, I am frustrated by intermittent issues with my sonore UltraRendu (Roon server connected via ethernet); Now and then the DAC cras...

Yamaha integrated amp as3000 vs Pass integrated
@atl4love I have listened to the Yamaha AS-2100 for several months and thoroughly enjoyed its performance. I was using it to power Dynaudio Contour 3.4LEs at the time. Dyns are big on power and need a substantial amp capable of high current for th... 
Luxman L-509X
bump. "Anyone compared the 509X against the 507uX II? They are very similarly specced" 
Going linear - The Luxman 507ux
I guess we wouldn’t be audiophiles if we weren’t complaining about something, remote controls included. LolHopefully things sound better for you soon. As for better measurements, how would one extrapolate such results to actual preception of sound...
