| Tube Rolling Advice for the Backert Labs Rhumba Extreme? I believe this preamp uses 12AU7's. Do you know how many and is there a phono stage?Yes, it's 2 12AU7's, Mullard reissues from Russia. Thanks for the suggestions! I will take @three_easy_payments' advice and live with the Mullards for a couple wee... | |
| Tekton or Klipsch By the way, I also owned a pair of KEF LS50W for about 1 week here in my office - they were turned around pretty quickly which is how I got my current pair of Heresy IIIs (having traded in the original HIIIs I owned against the Forte IIIs, then re... | |
| Tekton or Klipsch I have owned Heresy IIIs, Forte IIIs, and La Scala IIs... I still own the Heresy IIIs and LS IIs - upgraded from the Fortes. The HIIIs and LS IIs serve 2 different purposes, with a world of difference between the 2.Originally owning the HIIIs, I u... | |
| Hacking a Luxman Integrated @thyname,Hey buddy! When I was driving my Luxman CL40 pre into the 509X amp's section I ran the SB-16 from the pre out of the 509X and did all the crossover settings in the SVS app. Now that I'm using it for HT in "Separate" mode, I'm using the su... | |
| Hacking a Luxman Integrated I was using the pre out from my 509X to feed an SVS SB-16 Ultra, while running my La Scala IIs full-range from the 509X. Using the SVS app I was able to set the crossover and slope pretty well dead-on so the blend was perfect with the bass-shy LSI... | |
| Luxman L509X owners - Question about Main In Thanks for the feedback... It does appear to have gotten worse the more I pushed things around back there. Now it is audible when watching a normal TV show, etc in the background. @dpac996 , Are you saying run from the preout on the 509X directly ... | |
| JBL 100 Classic or Klipsch Heresy III? Crazy, I am looking at the same 2 speakers today. I haven't found anywhere to hear the L100 Classics, but I am very familiar with the Heresy IIIs having owned a pair and upgraded to La Scala IIs in my main system. I'm now looking for speakers to p... | |
| Relaxed, musical DAC around 2k used? Just get yourself a Codex... can be found for about $1100-1300 either used or as a dealer demo, and it describes exactly what you are looking for. I just replaced my $5K Luxman DA-06 with a Codex, which I didn't expect to happen (got the Codex for... | |
| Bluesound Node 2i & Ayre Codex - How would this work? Thanks guys, I actually did just pick up one of the Aries streamers listed here on AG. Worried that I would get frustrated with lack of DSD on the BSN2i down the road (I currently upsample everything to DSD in Roon). | |
| Bluesound Node 2i & Ayre Codex - How would this work? @audiotroy thanks, I do want to give the Codex a shot, as I have heard good things about the brand and I also like the small footprint in case I want to just throw it in my bag and bring it to work & use as a HA/DAC from my laptop. I guess at ... | |
| Bluesound Node 2i & Ayre Codex - How would this work? @audiotroy thanks, that is something I considered, BUT the problem I'm trying to solve is having a headphone system separate from my main system. My kids play Fortnight all day long and my TV, etc is running into the Luxman DAC via optical. So I r... | |
| Bluesound Node 2i & Ayre Codex - How would this work? Thanks, I will give it a shot. I just bought the Codex off AG so it hasn't arrived yet but I need to order the BDN2i. @audiotroy I do have a Zen Mk III already hooked up to my Luxman DA-06. So while a Zen Mini would be a great idea, as I think the... | |
| Bluesound Node 2i & Ayre Codex - How would this work? Thanks! My biggest question about the Node2 into the Codex is that since the only way to connect the 2 is via toslink, and Ayre says the preferred input is USB (only way to get DSD), is that there may be a compromise in sound quality by using the ... | |
| Luxman Integrated - What do they sound like I have owned a PrimaLuna ProLogue 4 tube amp, and wouldn't feel comfortable comparing it to the 509X... I mean, it's an $800 tube amp vs a $9500 integrated, so they don't have much in common, but I'll try... The PL 4 was very smooth sounding and a... | |
| Luxman Integrated - What do they sound like Surely you aren't saying it is wrong to ask. You can ask all you want, I'm just saying I'm not sure it's really going to tell you anything... You asked Luxman owners to describe how their integrateds sound compared to other amps "I might have hear... |
