| Dealers hijacking the discussions The point really should be is the product a valid recomendation that the OP may like?The point actually is whether the recommendation is valid (or perhaps 'uncolored' would be a better adjective) due to the fact that your livelihood is selling wh... | |
| Accuphase E-470 or Luxman 590ax II ? Thanks,Greg. The harsh reality is I may never have my other pieces equal to the amp. But I'm looking. | |
| Accuphase E-470 or Luxman 590ax II ? gryphongryph, I own the Luxman L-590AX. I wouldn’t call the sound warm. If I had to describe it, I’d say it’s neutral & uncolored, without being harsh or stark. I’d also take exception to the statement that it "runs hot". It gets warm, that’s ... | |
| Dealers hijacking the discussions Not for a minute am I suggesting that any one group not be allowed to participate. On the other hand, no one should run rough-shod over the thread, either. That's all. | |
| Dealers hijacking the discussions Audiotroy, even though I’m new here, I’ve belonged to many forums in the last 25 years. I’m not confused what ’hijacking’ is. Nor salesmanship. As I said, if you have something to add, I don’t think anyone would complain, if you did it in a differ... | |
| Dealers hijacking the discussions Dave, I'll add my two cents, as a newcomer. I've been here less than a year, look through the forum on a somewhat casual basis, and knew (or felt I knew) exactly who the OP was talking about. It's that obvious. Most everything of yours that I've r... | |
| Just retired and want to get back to vinyl listening For your cabling, you might want to take a look at DH Labs. | |
| Just retired and want to get back to vinyl listening I know what MDF is, I've used miles of it. The material itself doesn't vary to any great degree. Like everything, it has it's pros and cons. If the supports are adequately designed, it's fine. Presumably with a high quality rack, this should be th... | |
| Just retired and want to get back to vinyl listening Depends on the configuration, I guess. I don't generally use the words "good" and "MDF" in the same sentence. It's basically glorified cardboard, although I'm sure it has uses. | |
| Just retired and want to get back to vinyl listening glad to help, plus, I learned something myself.One thing that hasn't come up - this thing is heavy. It's 62#. A rack with an MDF shelf isn't going to cut it. Hell, the shipping box weighs more than some amps, it's 3 layers of very heavy cardboard,... | |
| Just retired and want to get back to vinyl listening steventoney, I can't tell you what changes were made between the AX and the AXII. I have read that the L-590AX incorporates a larger power supply over the earlier model, which was maybe the L-590AII.I've never seen an L-590axII for sale on the s... | |
| Just retired and want to get back to vinyl listening Yes, an L-590AX, which is the version prior to the newest model. My speakers are the Paradigm S6’s, which are now discontinued.One thing that I think I mentioned earlier, the 590 isn’t low-powered. Luxman’s literature is misleading, the amp is rat... | |
| Just retired and want to get back to vinyl listening steventoney, you're welcome to come hear mine. Still a long drive, I'm another 1½ hours past Portland. Nothing fancy, and not an ideal room, but would probably still give you an idea. L. | |
| The longest you have owned any gear? Pioneer SX-750. Bought it new in 1976. Retired it earlier this year.L. | |
| Paradigm speakers I'll add my two cents on Paradigm, at least for the two pair that I have heard and owned. First was a pair of Studio 10's, I thought they were very good from day one. These were driven by a vintage Pioneer receiver, so nothing state of the art, by... |
