| Recommendations for modern integrated with tone & balance controls other than Mcintosh @mapman In my large collection of vinyl there are many recordings that sound fine. There are many that do not. Likewise with my CDs and the music I stream. Hence my fondness for tone and other controls as well as an ongoing preference for tube... | |
| Recommendations for modern integrated with tone & balance controls other than Mcintosh @mesch I spoke to Luxman and they seconded my opinion although they did suggest I consider the LX-380 with the caveat that the power of that amp might not be sufficient. Since I already have the Connie J amp, I figured there was no reason to bu... | |
| Recommendations for modern integrated with tone & balance controls other than Mcintosh An update due to a recent successful experiment. On a whim, I connected the Luxman 550-AX II preamp out to a Conrad Johnson 60 wpc EL34/KT77 tube amplifier. This resulted in excellent full-function synergy and is likely very similar to the Luxma... | |
| Thinking of Magnepan ... finally! Dept. of FWIW: Earlier this year I had an Aavik 1-180 at home for evaluation. The amp worked well enough with SF Guarneri Homage speakers, but when paired with Magnepan .7's I found the presentation to be unpalatable. If I had to choose one ad... | |
| Jazz like this? Suggestions You might enjoy the collaborations between Huston Person and Ron Carter. And as brother @gosta says, Roon shows more tunes by the Magnus Ringblom Quartet. | |

| Some more modern jazz piano trios Great thread. Thanks to all. I'll be back with a suggestion or two. Just started listening to Christian Pabst. My oh my.... | |
| Describe the "new HiFi sound"? @hilde45 +1 no, make that +1000. :) | |
| FAVORITE POWER CABLE under $100 (1M) @lollipopguild +1 for Supra Lo-Rad. Male and female Supra connectors are about $20 ea. and the cable about $4.50 /ft. No fancy tools needed. Keep the drain wire connected at the AC source but not at the component end. I've found that tinnin... | |
| Best Class D GaNFET Amp Comparison. Who to invite? @jeffseight "Or just get an $7k Luxman and call it good.’ :) I’ve already got my Lux and may very well do just do that, but since I’m in the Seattle area I’m curious about your project and have subscribed. My only experience with newer Class D ... | |
| Speaker Cable Recommendations - Under 2k @tko956 +1 back at ya’ I made a pair of 14-4 using BFA bananas and am very pleased indeed. Unfortunately, the 12-4 and 14-4 are hard to find now since Furez is out of business. I just found some 14-2 for another experiment and depending on tho... | |
| Speaker Cable Recommendations - Under 2k If you'd like to do a very inexpensive experiment try finding some Furez 12 or 14 AWG and assemble a pair yourself. Talk about ROI.... | |
| Power cord length An old friend of mine-a very talented audio engineer-a guy who has been designing and building A-List tube and ss gear since the 1980’s-told me that without question, the most important specs for any power cord is that it be minimum 14AWG, and lon... | |
| Help. System sounds thin and bright or harsh @audioguy85 But, but, what if buying new and different stuff doesn't fix anything? | |
| Help. System sounds thin and bright or harsh @raysmtb1 I don't know who "runs the Internet" but there are indeed fluctuations in the quality of the music I get out of my streamer depending on day and time |
