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?

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... -

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?

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

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.

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... -

I just checked and I did not see a coaxial connection on there. Are you sure the 595 has one?

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?

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.

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.

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...
