| Integrated Amp to match with Magico A3 The Luxman 509X does sound its best when it is pushing lots of power, but I listen to lower volumes (60 dB or so) at night and the Loudness button has a fantastic curve that really kicks in and compensates for the otherwise lacking lower volume le... | |
| Hegel H190 I believe Hegel uses the same remote for all of their units. I have the DAC + button on the remote for my HD30 and from what I can see it does nothing. It may switch the display or something to show the incoming bitrate signal, etc if certain Hege... | |
| Road trip to demo $10,000 speakers Yes, Audiotronics has the big La Scala IIs up in their main listening room, which is where I bought mine... in fact they had my cherry Heresy IIIs and distressed oak Forte IIIs in there for about 3 months after I traded up. I think they finally so... | |
| Road trip to demo $10,000 speakers Hey Mike!I just discovered this thread, a great read and congrats on the new speakers. I am also in Roanoke and have spent tons of money both at Audiotronics and Command AV up in DC (great guys). I just picked up a Luxman L-509X and it sounds pret... | |
| Best way to integrate a subwoofer into Luxman Preamp + L-509X Integrated system? @atownkeep, ha, that’s how I was told my 509X went on the market (upgrade to 900u). Maybe I have your old 509X.I’m running the left out of the pre-out to an SB2000 and the right out to an SB16 Ultra. Neither sub takes speaker inputs... So my mains... | |
| Best way to integrate a subwoofer into Luxman Preamp + L-509X Integrated system? Thanks for the tips...After running a side-by-side comparison again for several hours last night I came to the conclusion that the L-509X just sounds better using its own preamp. The CL40 will go...I think it may be a matter of the L-509X just bre... | |
| Best way to integrate a subwoofer into Luxman Preamp + L-509X Integrated system? Of course one argument could be that listening to jazz and acoustic music at low levels (via the CL40 preamp) shouldn't really require subs anyway :) | |
| Help with XLR between Luxman L-509X & Hegel HD30 DAC I took delivery of the 509X today and picked up a couple of regular old mic cable XLRs (Whirlwind) from my local pro music shop. They sound great... can't really tell any difference between my Wireworld RCA cables and the new XLRs. Maybe a slight ... | |

| Help with XLR between Luxman L-509X & Hegel HD30 DAC @luxmancl38, that sounds awesome. I wish I could read Japanese as I have the work order for the refurb that was done at Luxman in ’13, would be interested to see what all work they did to it. I’d love to compare the two preamps... I have not seen ... | |
| Help with XLR between Luxman L-509X & Hegel HD30 DAC @atmasphere thanks for setting my mind at ease... wasn't sure if it would blow up my new amp or what, ha... good to hear that it's not that big of a deal.@luxmancl38, very cool to hear you have the CL 38U SE. I am really curious how it would soun... | |
| Help with XLR between Luxman L-509X & Hegel HD30 DAC @luxmancl38, thanks - I already had the Hegel, which I'm currently running into a Luxman CL40 valve preamp and M2000 power amp. Looking forward to the new L-509X to eliminate some boxes and update my sound... BUT I am also curious as to how the CL... | |
| Help with XLR between Luxman L-509X & Hegel HD30 DAC Great, thank you - how can I find out if the pins match? Just ask Hegel and Luxman which of their pins are "hot?" Is there any doc anywhere that may have this info? |
