Luxman tonality
Have to agree on the Luxman, after several years running McIntosh gear and suffering with listening fatigue and Firmware issues I took the plunge after much research and bought the last L590axII at my local dealer here in Canada.  I’m so impressed... 
Luxman 590AX II Break-In
Blue thinker: not sure if you’ve referring to the Harbeth’s or the Kef’s but the Luxman has no problem with my Harbeth’s. My room size is 15’x 30’ as well.  My previous amp was a 200 watt McIntosh that certainly had more slam but volume wise there... 
Luxman 590AX II Break-In
I just picked up a Luxman 590AXII and moved out a McIntosh MA6600, with my 85db Harbeth 30.1 speakers the Luxman delivers as much or at times more bass then the McIntosh ever did. I see the Keff’s are 85db as well, goes to show specs aren’t always... 
Can someone figure out the gain of this amp?
Moved out the McIntosh for a Classe A Luxman 590 AXII. It sounds wonderful.  No more listening fatigue, hours of pleasure once again. 😎  
Luxman L-590AXII vs Pass Labs INT-60
So I made the purchase on the dealer demo L-590axII for 35% off list. Never spent this much on a piece of audio gear before but this is my last intergraded and tired of buying 20-30 year old used gear and having issues. After constant use for the ... 
Cambridge Audio CXA81 Review and Thoughts?
Here’s my 2 cents worth, if you’re getting listening fatigue with this amplifier you better not ever get into real high end gear because it will only be more apparent.  From my own experience thats such a fine line the higher up the chain you go. ...

Wish more users/owners of the MA352 would comment on their units.  Currently running a MA6600 and looking for a warmer not so in your face sound.  Been looking at Luxman, Audio Research and the MC MA352.  Any information appreciated. Thanks  
Luxman L-590AXII vs Pass Labs INT-60
Great thread guys, been running McIntosh now for 7 years, MA6200 then the MA6600 for the last 4. Looking for a change, we all know how that works.  Many years ago I had a Class A Musical Fidelity A1 20 watt that was a great little work horse. Ran ...

Have to agree on room acoustics, try hanging thick blankets on the walls and bring as many cushions you can find in the room and try leaning them against the walls at different heights. One day while the wife was out I set the room up with all thi... 
Connecting XLR cables
Love to know the out come. About to do the same. Can't see it being a problem.  
Ultralink Platinum Ultima MKII XLRs- Any Good?
I have a pair, they sound amazing from my Arcam CD player.  
Experience with the Pass Labs XP-15 phono stage?
I've had the Pass Labs XP-15 for a couple days now, all I can say is Wow ! If had known the difference a Phono Preamp could make I would have bought one sooner. Even with a modestly priced Grado the extra detail and sound stage is remarkable. Also... 
Experience with the Pass Labs XP-15 phono stage?
Hey GregYou're right, I took a chance and called today and someone picked up. They were getting ready to start up tomorrow after the shut down. Super helpful, buying U.S. is clearly the only way to go. He confirmed the Gain settings as follows :Fi... 
Experience with the Pass Labs XP-15 phono stage?
This will be my first external Phono stage so I don't know what to expect. The stage in my Mcintosh can't be that bad but the flexibility with an externalwill be nice. Want to switch to a low output Grado with .5-1.0 mv.  This Pass XP15 should be ... 
Experience with the Pass Labs XP-15 phono stage?
Thanks Big, but thier spec sheet on line says different.  I'm looking at a used unit here in Canada and trying to figure what's real. Also trying to figure are the balance outputs offering the three gain settings of 56,66,76. I see on the XP17 the...
