| Excellent customer service from SVS It's been about 3 months and it is working great so far. | |
| Excellent customer service from SVS I also had the amp in my SB-16 go bad after about 4 weeks. While I had the same exceptional customer service experience you did (they shipped a replacement next day and I installed the new amp in about 20 minutes), it does make me wonder about QC ... | |
| Carpenters I’m listening to the Royal Philharmonic mixes right now in 24/192 and they are amazing. Karen has never sounded better. I love the orchestral arrangements. It was really a nice surprise to find this today. | |
| JBL L5 - Frozen Voice Coil (Woofer) I suspect it could definitely be the 35 year old CL40 valve preamp that is the culprit more so than my 9 month old Luxman L-509X integrated amp. When the service guy comes over on Friday to replace my La Scala II tweeter, I'll ask him to measure t... | |
| JBL L5 - Frozen Voice Coil (Woofer) Thanks, the JBLs I think are rated up to 300 watts and I couldn't have been sending more than 50 watts tops. I did hear some crackling during kick drums earlier on in the week, that could have been what did the woofer in.But I am starting to think... | |
| Turning off tube preamp first sends solid state amp into protection? Thanks this is all good to know.I was aware of the power up/power down sequence but since adding the L509X I leave the power amp on 24/7.By adding the vintage valve pre, it sounds like I'll be having to power down the solid state integrated instea... | |
| Turning off tube preamp first sends solid state amp into protection? I'm not sure, is that supposed to be happening (passing DC to amp)? I just have my DAC going into the RCA input of the preamp and then the output of the preamp going into the HT bypass (Main In) of the 509X. There shouldn't be any DC current movin... | |
| What amps should I audition? I have to believe the Luxman L-509X would sound amazing through your JBL 4367s. It has amazing synergy with my La Scala IIs. Give it a demo for sure. | |
| Integrated Amp to match with Magico A3 The Luxman 509X does sound its best when it is pushing lots of power, but I listen to lower volumes (60 dB or so) at night and the Loudness button has a fantastic curve that really kicks in and compensates for the otherwise lacking lower volume le... | |
| Hegel H190 I believe Hegel uses the same remote for all of their units. I have the DAC + button on the remote for my HD30 and from what I can see it does nothing. It may switch the display or something to show the incoming bitrate signal, etc if certain Hege... | |
| Road trip to demo $10,000 speakers Yes, Audiotronics has the big La Scala IIs up in their main listening room, which is where I bought mine... in fact they had my cherry Heresy IIIs and distressed oak Forte IIIs in there for about 3 months after I traded up. I think they finally so... | |
| Road trip to demo $10,000 speakers Hey Mike!I just discovered this thread, a great read and congrats on the new speakers. I am also in Roanoke and have spent tons of money both at Audiotronics and Command AV up in DC (great guys). I just picked up a Luxman L-509X and it sounds pret... | |
| Best way to integrate a subwoofer into Luxman Preamp + L-509X Integrated system? @atownkeep, ha, that’s how I was told my 509X went on the market (upgrade to 900u). Maybe I have your old 509X.I’m running the left out of the pre-out to an SB2000 and the right out to an SB16 Ultra. Neither sub takes speaker inputs... So my mains... | |
| Best way to integrate a subwoofer into Luxman Preamp + L-509X Integrated system? Thanks for the tips...After running a side-by-side comparison again for several hours last night I came to the conclusion that the L-509X just sounds better using its own preamp. The CL40 will go...I think it may be a matter of the L-509X just bre... | |
| Best way to integrate a subwoofer into Luxman Preamp + L-509X Integrated system? Of course one argument could be that listening to jazz and acoustic music at low levels (via the CL40 preamp) shouldn't really require subs anyway :) |
