| looking for bookshelves - Another usual boring speaker discussion Joseph Audio - Pulsars may be worth consideration. Be mindful of auditing any speaker with a rear port. Twelve inches away from the back wall may be a deal breaker. The B&W 805 D4’s recently had a fairly significant price increase. A pair will... | |
| speaker upgrade fever I’ll second the Joseph Audio Pulsar’s. The fit, finish, design, quality construction/materials and overall sound quality for a bookshelf speaker is outstanding. You can’t go wrong with JA. These are far superior to the DeVore O/baby. Of course, th... | |
| speaker upgrade fever Consider auditing the DeVore 0/93’s. They are just slightly above your budget. I’ve heard the 0/baby and 0/96 but not the 0/93. It’s hard to find a local pair to audition. Devore has a nice sound but I’m not quite sure about the cabinet. Looks lik... | |
| Just received my LHY Linear Power Supply I just posted a question regarding the LHY linier PS a few days ago. I’m considering adding one to a Lumin U2 Mini. LHY has an internal filter and the external LPS bundle. I’ve done a fair amount of research but don’t know if the sonic improvemen... | |
| Linier Power Supply for Lumin Yes, any modification can void a warranty. There is only a two year warranty. Part of the modification requires replacing the IEC. No soldering is required. You can watch the entire process on YouTube. It’s not very complicated. I don’t plan on cu... | |
| Linier Power Supply for Lumin gkelly The LHY power supply with the internal board listed on their website was designed specifically for the Lumin products listed in my question. The LHY appears to be one of the few LPS’s with an additional filter that is mounted inside the Lu... | |
| Tweaking Your Speaker Placement As you know, this is only one process. There are a number of processes available. Some of them are fairly simple and others are much more time consuming. Personally, I would try more than one over an extended period of time. I have not read the bo... | |
| Tweaking Your Speaker Placement I am certainly no expert. Based on your follow up comments, I assume, you must be attempting to tweak the speaker’s position. In other words, you have found the sweet spot. You are hearing a difference in sound that you have never heard before and... | |

| Conrad Johnson MF2250A / MF2500A vs CJ MF2275SE / MF2550SE Consider posting the same question on the CJ owners group forum. I find it much more helpful than Agon when it comes to specific CJ questions. No offense to members of this group. The CJ forum is brand specific. | |
| Why I Sold My Aurender N200 Now just sit back and enjoy a good glass of wine and listen to music with your wife. It’s hard to put a price tag on a level of improved sound quality. Like you, if I’m going to upgrade a component and spend several thousand dollars more, I expect... | |
| Linear power supply for Weiss DAC 204 I agree, it’s difficult to assign a number or percentage of improvement. I guess I look for the “wow” factor if I’m purchasing a new piece of equipment. In other words, is the difference in what I’m hearing worth the cost - ROI from a sonic perspe... | |
| Linear power supply for Weiss DAC 204 I agree, the U2 has a number of improvements over the Mini. I have not auditioned the U2. However, I don’t know if the improvement in overall sound quality is worth twice the price. This is wear I tend to look for a 30-40 percent improvement. In o... | |
| Linear power supply for Weiss DAC 204 Thank you for the feedback. I just started looking at LPS and considering the installation of one on a U2 Mini. I usually look for at least a 40 percent improvement when I’m upgrading something like the DAC or speakers. Obviously, this isn’t an ex... | |
| Linear power supply for Weiss DAC 204 kjl1065 How do you like the LHY LPS for the Lumin U2 Mini? The internal kit looks like it may be the best option on the market. However, I don’t know if the DC power cable is of high quality like the Teddy or Statement cable. We have a distributo... |
