| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! Another awesome cable is the Masterbuilt Audio cable. No hype. Just the real deal. Give the Signature or the Ultra line a try. | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! I've heard the KR PX4's. Definitely not as good as the top ones like the Sophia Royal Princess and Takatsuki 300B's. The difference between the PX4 the Takatuski is not subtle at all. | |
| Gryphon vs Luxman vs Accuphase stargazer3, Yes, I was referring to the sound quality. Even though I've owned the Hegel H160 and H360, I did not use their internal DAC because I have a better DAC. So, the most important thing to me is the sound quality, not the features. I've... | |
| Gryphon vs Luxman vs Accuphase I totally agree that the cables are very important to the system setup. So is the system synergy. In my system, I am getting effortless sound from my 590AXII and the rest of the setup. I have a pair of Von Schweikert Endeavor E-3 Mk2 speakers. | |
| Gryphon vs Luxman vs Accuphase I have not heard the 509. I believe @greginnh has heard both the 509 and the 590, so he would know. Since 509 is newer, it should theoretically be better than the 590, but again, 590 has the class A magic. | |
| Gryphon vs Luxman vs Accuphase Yes, I love my class A Luxman L-590AXII. Before Luxman, I was using the Hegel H360 and was thinking about upgrading to the Gryphon Diablo 300. I've heard the Diablo at the audio show and loved the sound. But thanks to @greginnh for recommending... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! WC, you've already got some of the world's best audio gears/speakers, it would only make sense if you get the Taks, which I would consider to be the world's best 300B's. After I got my Taks, I knew I was done with tube rolling. | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! I agreed with @grey9hound , give the Takatsuki tubes a try. You will hear the ultimate smoothness and refinement. | |
| Audience SX2/Front Row Cables...has anyone tried or heard much of this new reference line? May be it's like going to a symphony orchestra concert. If you sit in the 'Front Row', you get to hear each instrument closely and in greater details, but if you sit further back, you get to hear the music more as a whole. I've been in both situ... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! techno, I think you are right. Pacific should be much better at everything it does. | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! I've tried using my Lampi Big 7 as a preamp connecting directly to my Luxman 590AXII's amp section, but I still prefer using the Big 7 (as DAC only) with Luxman as the integrated amp. My impression of the Lampi preamp (i.e. volume control) is tha... | |
| Solid Silver Power Cord Just curious, if the Crystal Clear Audio Magnum Opus power cord is that good, then why aren't more people use it or talk about it? | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! WC, thanks for the awesome review of the Pacific. I am not surprised at all on everything you've said because I am also getting excellent sound from my Big 7 and Luxman 590AXII combo. | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! WC, I know you said no tube rolling at this time, but I just want you to let you know that I got a huge improvement on my Big 7 after replacing the stock tubes with Takatsuki 300B's, KR 5U4G Lampizator Anniversary rectifier tube, and the stock fus... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! WC, congratulations on the Lampi! I am loving my Big 7. Boy, that Pacific sure is a beauty! I can only imagine how much better it is than mine, especially with Takatsuki 300B's, which are simply stunning! Very excited for you. |
