No apology necessary. I’m just scratching my head. These are very easy challenges he has. Maybe he needs a good dealer.

not meaning to derail the thread but fremer seemed to have a more positive assessment of the new technics turntables ... at least the sl-1200g: "the new SL-1200G, which though it looks like the old 1200 is anything but!" The Technics SL-1200G...

Speed controller is the REGA Neo. Reality is he should upgrade to the P6 to get all the goodies! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Amazing intrgrated. A beast! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

So much here. He can upgrade from a P2 to a P3 and that solves the ease of speed change issue with a speed controller. Easy and gets a better sounding table to boot. He can add a VPI ADS to his P2 and then it’s perfect speed and changing with...

how many takio extremes are in the wild? assuming the USB PCIe card manufacture is outsourced -- it would seem selling the card separately to be a relatively easy business opportunity to undertake (just order more) once the small universe of...

Is the wood on top? The 595 is wood all around, not just sides. I asked Luxman and this is what they told me. Maybe that’s why Accuphase costs more here! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

The REASON is that US government regulations don’t allow wood over any piece of equipment for CSA safety reasons. Japan apparently isn’t concerned. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Taiko with the new USB card and running TAS is just un-freaking believably good. Listening this morning after letting it run all weekend. If they could get the TAS interface up a few notches (or more). Oh boy, that would be special. Hard to...

Why? Has there been any concerns? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

11 TC is owned by Klipsch. Not much (if anything) will change. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Nice review. I would be curious to know what caused the change from the old dry Audionet sound to this new Humboldt sound which is quite different (and very enjoyable)?

new york, N.Y. -- so nice they had to name it twice :) great title and i love the jon hendricks narration.

I’ll order the new feet I think too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

We’ve noticed a bigger increase in performance using Roon. It went from a 7/10 to maybe an 8/10, while TAS remains a strong 10/10 for Sonics.

1600 Euros

in europe the "." and "," are reversed in numbers. so the stated frequency range in the audionet spec screenshot is: 0,00 - 700.000,00 Hz (-3db) ... ie: 0 - 70 kHz (-3db) let's just say there is no high end roll-off in the humbolt ;)

Agreed. My two cents: those licking their chops for lower prices might be sadly disappointed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Agreed. Wish them best of luck. Love their electronics and I hope they are successful as another departure from America would not be a good thing. I bet a replacement for the Colosseum is in the works. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk...

“An invested dealer is a committed dealer.” It’s a bigger discussion around the whole perception of “all of our stuff is the best, everyone else’s is junk.” If I owned a golf store, I would sell Nike shoes, but I sure wouldn’t sell Nike golf...

Congrats!! I heard this in Munich when it debuted. Totally unlike the old AudioNet sounds. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

The one thing this card makes painfully clear is how much better TAS is than Roon - sonically speaking of course. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Me too!! I’m eyeing the N30....hmmm....can’t wait for it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

You have it exactly right. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I would say other forums are much more toxic. I like when the smart asses get straightened out by Fremer. Makes me chuckle. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

We had that on display for 3 years. Great integrated. Was even tastier at the pre April 2018 price!

Digital has certainly come a LONG way for those early days of nasty Sony, Phillips CD players. But until the fundamental problems of 1) horrible A2D converters being used by even the biggest studios (did you know Warner has been sent some of the...

It’s currently flying under the radar. We use it almost exclusively in the front room, so it’s getting lots of exposure.

They have different sounds, but both are excellent. You would have to come and listen. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

New Taiko card installed (slot 5). Immediate sound improvement. Time to listen. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Too early right now. I want to give it a few weeks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

That’s true, but I’m not sure I agree that digital will be fully fleshed out in 40 years. It’s been 41 already. My point is that the buyer today can really enjoy a fine turntable and it will still be fine in 30 years. Sent from my iPhone...

nice cerebral rendering of some surf, desert and other guitar classics by bill frisell. almost positive it is an all analog recording as it was recorded at flora recording & playback in portland, OR ...and the vinyl is still available if you search...

Joe, you know which one I’m thinking? The Limited Edition Luxman 595 coming in May.

thanks for the thoughtful and helpful posts -- please keep them coming! ______________________ the volume control on my DAC is in the digital domain -- so, it is a passive pre-amp of sorts. as mentioned, i am pretty happy with the sound at this...

while this is certainly low-key (late-nite) listening, it is anything but background music ... very interesting and engaging. i will be exploring more from this artist and trio. -ymmv
