    Luxman M-12, C-12 and T-12 stack... What’s fair?

    Was at a party yesterday and after talking with a good friends dad we got stereos. He mentioned he had an old system in the basement in the boxes he was looking to clean out. His son didn’t want it because it was “From the 80’s”. He took me down and showed me a complete set of Luxman boxes with...

    Hi, I'm trying to bring a pair of MB3045 back to life. They are both equiped with Sovtek 6550 wich I will replace by NOS Sylvania. I found a few mods inside, and they seem to differ from what I read: - Around the 3x47µF/450V capacitor, I see 12K-68K-150K instead of 12K-100R-150K in the original...

    Luxman r-115 volume troubles

    Hi AK! Been a longtime reader, new poster. I recently picked up a Luxman R-115. Off the bat I noticed some problems with a scratchy volume knob and balance, so I deoxited all the pots. Balance knob works well now, but the volume knob is still acting strangely (so I think...). When the volume is...

    Bored of Mcintosh 4100 sound

    I got a Mcintosh 4100 off eBay about 2 years ago - they power a pair of Kef Q300s. Although it sounds pretty okay, once every while while listening to it, I feel like it is sub-par to my earlier integrated - A NAD 356BEE. Especially, the Phono stage is sub-par. Now, I am facing the dilemma of...
