My work in progress

[bigfish786]

The stuff is going out just as quick as it’s coming in! Mostly because it’s been broken 😡
I had stopped buying 2nd hand stuff a few years ago, that decision was probably right 🤣
Fingers crossed that a 2yr old Luxman is as bulletproof as a new one.
I’d be interested to know what laser mechanism it uses? And if these are in plentiful supply?

It should be bulletproof if their amps are anything to go by. Luxman don't make flimsy stuff.

Really? A entry-level Marantz with a 8-9k amplifier? (Yeah, I know he didn't pay the full retail price), nevertheless that Marantz is a fine player with a similar priced amp.

I was being sarcastic.

Someone in another thread suggested three hundred odd quid buys CD playback as good as anything.

£300+ will get you a decent cd player.
£1500+ gets you excellent.
what am I going to get for £2600?
I hope it’s fanflippingastic!

I don't do sarcasm. 😋🙂

My Exposure CDP is as good as anything below £1500, yet it only cost me £250. Not missed a beat in 3 years of ownership.

When I demoed the Dalis and MA Gold 100 with the Leema, Richer Sounds used the 6007 to play the CDs.

When are holding a house clearance?😁

He could even charge £15 a ticket to come in, as long as the pavement is smooth and even!

It would probably work out cheaper/easier if I just open my own hifi shop.

One step closer to total endgame. Luxman d-03x picked up this morning 😊😊

I’ll drop you a PM with my Finders Fee invoice!

It looks superb. So glad you bought it.

How does the Luxman CD player compare to the others you have tried ?

i haven't really tried any other cd players with this new amp. the meridian i had been using was a lovely thing, but this new one presents music completely differently. the Audiolab i bought died after a few hours, so i didn't really get enough time with that, i was still trying the different filter settings on that. the Marantz i had was similar, but a little more laid back. the Marantz setup i had worked much better with the focal speakers. whereas the Luxman is very much better with the Triangle speakers i now have.

Superb. A couple of beasties.

tried explaining to the wife that this is it, no more buying and selling amps and speakers etc. this is my endgame, she just laughed and said "well, what are you going to do now"? reminding me that i spend far too much time online looking at hifi. she doesn't believe me. and reckons i'll upgrade again

 

[WayneKerr]

I think your wife is right... you will want to change the speakers or turntable next. Women are far cleverer than men

May i ask any further update on the new system ?

The few hours I’ve had listening have been very enjoyable.
even wife is impressed with it so that’s good enough for me.
thoughts of changing the speakers and turntable are far away.
for now. 😊

Just enjoyable?

I would be hanging from the lampshades making silly noises. 😋🙂

 

[bigfish786]

Being back at work full time and having a busy weekend has limited the time I’ve had to listen. I’m also not very good at explaining the differences between kit. Maybe once I’ve had it a while I can begin to explain what I can hear.
it’s put a smile back on my face. Money well invested.

I'm no wordsmith but with that system I'd have dictionary suoerglued to my lap, phoning up Channel 4s Countdown... just to find the ample words. 😁
