Thank you for the reply @kevin gilmore! Senor Stax himself! Forgive my ignorance; what does that mean in general versus designs like the KGSS which, as far as I can surmise are designed without output transformers, and simply generate the appropriate voltages natively through their designs? One...

That said; I ordered one of these. I wonder if our gracious host, @amirm or another person with analysis gear could measure it?

Thank you for your analysis! Would this amplifier be clearly inferior to a Blue Hawaii / KGSSHV Carbon? I think it's odd that it uses a small wall-wart versus the other two needing some serious watts from the outlet. However, there could be a situation here where it's analogous to Class D amps...

Curious on reviews / measurements of this.

I read through this thread, and am feeling pretty thick! I use a windows box hooked up to a DAC. Is it possible to use the Amazon Music Ultra HD app to stream via USB to my DAC, and control the app remotely for lossless high res streaming? Basically, using it like I'd use roon? If not; is...

Thank you all! I've looked everywhere, but does anyone have the manual for the E-480 in PDF?

Ahh, I see. So no way to set it to "main" like on the Luxman 509x. On the Luxman there was a way to hold down one of the inputs, and it would go to the main (read: no preamp) input. This is for a family room setup, so TV watching will now require some 1970s-style getting up to set the right...

This is for a receiver input. I have selected it as a "LINE" but not sure which input it is on the remote? I'd expect to hold one of the inputs down or something like that?

Accuphase E-480

Finally got this beautiful thing. Although, for the life of me I cannot figure out how to select the "MAIN-IN" input. Any Accuphase folks out there care to lend a hand? I'm still doing some listening, and have the DAC-50 and AD-50 add-on boards. I'll be updating with some impressions mid...

There is a set near me that's heavily discounted ($19500), and in like-new condition. Would love to hear about thoughts on these, and how to make them sound great. I called a local Magico dealer, and he said that he'd only ever use Spectral amplification, and only the newer SV models. :rolleyes:

I'm considering the following setups. I think all of them sound great. I do tend to be a bit fickle with gear, but I'm a lover of all types of music. Should I go for the Mac power amp, I'd probably leverage my Topping Pre90 I have laying around. It's a great sounding pre! I listen to a ton...

Thank you for this. Really great work!

Oh. That's really disappointing. :/ I didn't see anything from MiniDSP go out about this. Or any sort of "SHD v2".

I'm curious about this. Did MiniDSP change the hardware, or was this a software update? There hasn't been an obvious versions of the SHD as far as I know?

What were your thoughts on the M33 with the Studio 2? Would you expect the Salon 2 to perform similarly?

Is there an update on whether the MiniDSP SHD will support Dirac Live Bass Control? I understand from this thread that there is no *technical* reason for this not to happen, but of course there can always be a business reason. That said, I know that MiniDSP has commented that they were working...

I'm feeling a bit thick here. For the classic "living room" scenario, how can I have a center channel with the M33? I'm trying to wrap my head around anything that's not 2.0/2.1/2.2 with this thing, and how the HDMI input helps me. I feel that I'm in a mode where I need to do something like...

I was hoping the M33 would measure closer to SOTA separates. I do have some decent equipment, but what I was hoping for was a list of amps that seem to complement the Salon 2 really well.

I've been searching around, and haven't found a thread on this. Apologies if this was already covered before. Are there preferred amps that make the Revel Salon 2 "sing"? I've been considering a few, but generally looking to stay <$8000 ideally. The NAD M33 looked great until I saw the...
