I worked with Luxman equipment back in the late 70s. Their amps had a very smooth and refined sound. Build quality was solid and finish was always elegant.

I can't wait to hear some feedback on the new (and drop-dead gorgeous) 505u integrated.

If you have any experience with recent (Y2k+) Luxman amps, please share.

Thanks!

Hi all. I'm new to this forum, but not new to the world of audio. I've got a question about my next upgrade. First, I should probably tell you what is in my system. Even though I prefer 2 channel, my system is built for both 2 and 5.1. Here's the system

Rotel RSP-1068 PreAmp
Rotel RMB-1095 Amp
Rotel RCD-1072 CD Player
Pioneer DV-79AVi DVD Player
Pioneer BDP-94HD BluRay Player

B&W XTC Center
Martin Logan Depth Sub

Hiya,

I've wangled 4 nights in New York at the start of Nov, and have got a day's pass to search out Jazz I cannot get back in the UK- where do you guys recommend that I go?

Also interested in any shops selling a decent range of audiophile Vinyl reissues

And if anyone is considering coming over to the UK I can return the favour

Cheers

Any recommendations for an affordable (under $500) vibration isolation platform to be used with a turntable (Basis 1400). The Gingko Cloud 11 seems interesting, but I learned that additional weight should be added to the platform since the turntable weighs only 15 lbs. or so. Who wants to add an ugly looking weight to a setup?

Does anyone strong believe in isolation platforms or are they a waste of money? Would you rather invest the $400 into a better cartridge? Thanks in advance for your help. EF

just picked-up my vintage turntable and after connecting to my amp can't get anything but the faintest sound...and yes, speakers are connected!
amp instructions suggest a mc-head amplifier.
can you tell me a bit about what that does and where to find one ?

hi all,

i am considering the krel kav 400xi or the music fidelity a5 or the YBA YA201 to power my FOCAL JM-LAB 926.

just curious if anybody has any experience with these two amps matched with FOCAL.

both sound nice , but it's tough to get a grip on which amp may be better for my FOCAL. i find it takes a considerable amount of time to really determine the strenghts and weaknesses of amps. it's very hard for me to compare at two different dealers.

any input would be greatly appreciated.
