Re: Legacy Audio?
Wow. I thought my 10-week wait for my Ayre QX-5 Twenty DAC was excessive! It'll be worth it though. I bought my Focus SEs at the height of the pandemic, and somehow Legacy had stock back then.

Re: Lumin U2 (with internal LPS and SFP port)
This thread is so quiet lately. Does anyone else have a U2 and want to share their listening impressions?

Re: Lumin U2 (with internal LPS and SFP port)
I imagine you are right. Esoteric is top level stuff. I know the case amounts for some of the cost difference, but I can't imagine the whole $2k+. But the obsessive side of me passed on a U1 to...

Re: Lumin U2 (with internal LPS and SFP port)
I've never listened to a U1, nor owned a Lumin until this one. But I will say I never imagined that a digital streamer could make my system sound this damn good. I've demo'd an iFi Neo Stream, Sonore...

I have one arriving Wednesday according to the tracker. And I can confirm $5k USD. Can't wait to fire it up.

Re: Ayre KX-5 Twenty and VX-5 Twenty
One issue recently with my KX-5 Twenty was a noisy pop in the volume control. It wasn't noisy at first but it was getting worse and worse with time. Dreading the infamous repair trip, I put off...

Re: Ayre KX-5 Twenty and VX-5 Twenty
The resistors did the trick! It wasn't just an overall lack of volume level. I had suspected that the FR felt skewed just a bit toward highs/mids. Not thin perse but it just seemed like some bass...

Re: Ayre KX-5 Twenty and VX-5 Twenty
I finally had some time to hook up my backup amp over the weekend. Its a high powered Class D model. It didn't churn out any more power than the VX-5. In fact was slightly less SPLs even though it...

Re: Ayre KX-5 Twenty and VX-5 Twenty
Thanks, I will. I'd be very pissed if that's the case because I got my amp back from Ayre in early January when I had it reconditioned.

Re: Ayre KX-5 Twenty and VX-5 Twenty
Thanks for your response. Today I hooked up my Tascam DA-3000 recorder and ripped some vinyl via the XLR tape outs. I actually had to raise the input gain by +7dBs on the Tascam even though I was...

Re: Ayre KX-5 Twenty and VX-5 Twenty
Hi Jay. What power cable(s) did you end up trying? I finally got a KX-5 Twenty to go with my VX-5 Twenty. And man, what a huge upgrade over the K5xeMP. The only minor issue I'm having is it runs...

Didn't do a triple header - what a pic! That brings back many great memories of riding The C&T railroad to the summit. Would do it again in a heartbeat.
