No it's directly plugged into its own dedicated line straight from the fuse box using a high-quality cable. Have tried many PCs including Luxman's own models sourced from Japan. No difference whatsoever. Music source is Tidal and Qobuz through Roon fed by fiber ethernet to Naim ND5XS2, XPS...

Standing waves, room modes and listening space acoustics notwithstanding, DEFINITELY consider speaker-amp incompatibility. Whether we like it or not, this most definitely exists as a genuine possibility. Don't ask me how I know!

Thanks for the reply. Everything is well burned in as the Sopras date from 2018 and the 590 from 2022 (both new at that time). I've had to use the foam bungs for the first time on the Sopras just to make things somewhat listenable. Currently struggling with deciding which one to keep and which...

Hi Ryder, are you still running the Martens with your 590? Still satisfied with the SQ? My 590 started off well, but after 6 months or so the bass response became overwhelming on the Focal Sopra 1s. In your opinion and experience with the 590, would you describe it as neutral? I definitely...

Wut?

Hello, Thanks for the long answer. I asked as I have the 590AXII and am having trouble finding speakers that work with it (in a treated room) where the Lyngdorf does have a few bells and whistles to remedy problematic situations. I thought the 590 would be end game after hope demoing the 509x...

Hi, can you explain why the 590AXII isn't totally satisfactory for you, if this is indeed the case, and where you think the Lyngdorf betters it in terms of SQ? Thanks.

I think it was more suicide than homicide.

They would do better to propose a revised and improved Supernait 3 or 4...

That is highly unlikely.

Strangely enough, the ND5XS2 has been the most stable and useful streamer in my system since it came out. It's not long in the tooth by any means other than age. Keep in mind that streamed music hasn't made any significant progress or changes since the generalization of hi-rez data feeds, from...

Excellent, thank you.

Hi, would you mind describing how the bass was impacted/improved on your SFs after adding the Gaia isolators? Thanks.

The only ATC I would consider is the SCM19 but I'm pretty certain they represent a challenging electrical load for the amplifier. I have heard them with Naim and didn't think they were bad at all. That woofer magnet is a massive piece!

That would probably work but has too much against it: poor assembly due to mass production, butt-ugly looks, neither a floorstander nor a bookshelf and very low pride of ownership value. It looks like a box somebody left on the floor.
