  1. Re: Attention all Luxman 595 owners - What volume percentage does it switch from class a to class ab?

    I believe that is for the normal luxman class a/b amps? But for the 595 it's 30 watts class a and class a/b after?
  2. Re: Why does my Yamaha sound better than the Luxman 595?

    I did a lot of listening last night. The luxman sounds really good and I love the separation it has and it's detail.

    So far... for electronic music and guitar music, I prefer the Yamahas together...
  3. Re: McIntosh 12000 - Thinking about buying a used one

    You got that all wrong. In my other posts, I have stated I will be upgrading my speakers in which I plan on spending about 10k. But first I am getting reference amps so when I do starting getting...
  4. Re: McIntosh 12000 - Thinking about buying a used one

    I guess this is the part which scares me. How could I tell if it was abused or not? Could it be clean on the outside with no signs of a abuse but the internal parts abused somehow?
  5. McIntosh 12000 - Thinking about buying a used one

    I am thinking about buying a used Mcintosh 12000 for 11,500.00. The original owner bought it at Best Buy, and the second owner (who I would be buying from) is now selling it.

    How reliable are the...
  6. Re: Why does my Yamaha sound better than the Luxman 595?

    I have tried the high level connector before on my Yamaha. I am not a big fan of it.

    For Luxman 595 - What volume percentage does it switch from class a to class ab?

    Using blue tooth streaming from my phone on the eversolo Z8 (vol 100%), I can put the Luxman 595 up to about mark...
  8. Re: Why does my Yamaha sound better than the Luxman 595?

    Good news! I got the Eversolo z8 dac and the Luxman 595 sounds a 100% better! I still need to get acquainted with the new sound so probably this weekend. Questions, please:

    1) For the REL T7X...
  9. Re: Why does my Yamaha sound better than the Luxman 595?

    Have you heard the Kanta 2 versus the B&W 804 D3s? I was wondering how they compare and contrast with the 12000 amp being used. I wish I could afford Wilson speakers but those are out of my budget.
  10. Re: Why does my Yamaha sound better than the Luxman 595?

    Oh, I see what you mean. That is a good idea. However, I will still wonder about the synergy of the B&Ws with the 2 amps that I would not be able to compare.

    Good question... I heard the Luxman...
  11. Re: Why does my Yamaha sound better than the Luxman 595?

    Because I still cannot cross shop the speakers.
  12. Re: Why does my Yamaha sound better than the Luxman 595?

    Thanks, I am new to this hobby and still trying to figure things out. For instance, a local hifi shop has a McIntosh 1200 and Focal Kanta 2 speakers that I like. But that shop does not have luxmans...
  13. Re: Why does my Yamaha sound better than the Luxman 595?

    Thanks, you're correct. I have on order a ever solo z8 streamer that I'm going to use. But it's going to take a couple of weeks.

    So, I really haven't heard the luxman 595 as I should. I also want...

    Re: A fun day at Jay’s

    I am watching part 2, how were you able to tame the tweeters? Did you adjust the Wilson crossovers inside the speakers?

    Extra insurance for audiophile gear?

    I am starting to get a good collection of audio gear in my home. Question, please, is there a special home insurance that I need to buy just for the stereo equipment? I already have the usual home...
  16. Re: Why does my Yamaha sound better than the Luxman 595?

    No problem, thank you. I am going to order a streamer to get a updated DAC to see how it sounds on the Luxman. Question, please.... later down the road I was going to also buy McIntosh 12000 and I...
  17. Re: Why does my Yamaha sound better than the Luxman 595?

    Question please.... With the Yamaha r-n2000a, it has a dedicated dub line out. I have a REL t/7x sub. I can hear it really good on low volume on the Yamaha...I have the crossover at 30% and vol at...
  18. Re: Why does my Yamaha sound better than the Luxman 595?

    Oh, I did not realize that! I have a 1990s Sony ES 779 cd player. Could the dacs in it be not as good as the ess pro dacs?
  19. Re: Why does my Yamaha sound better than the Luxman 595?

    I just checked and I did not see a coaxial connection on there. Are you sure the 595 has one?
  20. Re: Why does my Yamaha sound better than the Luxman 595?

    I hooked it up, but I am new to this hobby so I didn't realize about the coaxial digital connection.
  21. Re: Why does my Yamaha sound better than the Luxman 595?

    I just realized that the Yamaha uses optical in from the cd player while the Luxman uses RCA cables. Would that have a profound effect on the Luxman not sounding as open?
  22. Re: Why does my Yamaha sound better than the Luxman 595?

    The AS-3200 is too neutral and sounded very boring by itself. It's bass and treble did not have much effect. The r-n2000a as a preamp adds color to the sound.
  23. Cornwall 4 speakers - 6 feet apart to far?

    I am trying to plan ahead for ordering Cornwall 4 speakers. Would setting them 6 feet apart be to much? I think I would be listening to them about 10 feet away (my couch). Also, since these are...
  24. Re: Why does my Yamaha sound better than the Luxman 595?

    Just to clarify... I like the sound of the Luxman over the Yamaha AS-3200. But put the Yamaha r-n2000a as a preamp with the Yamaha-3200 and it's really impressive.
  25. Re: Why does my Yamaha sound better than the Luxman 595?

    Yep, I think I have a big anxiety over this. I feel like if the amp is not for me, then I need to sell it right away to recoup it's costs before it depreciates more. But, on the other hand... if it's...
