Thread: I need help......I'm an addict

    Default I need help......I'm an addict

    I can't help myself. Sometimes I relent and feel a sense of pride, a sense of achievement and promise myself I won't do it again. A few weeks pass and the urges come and go but the addiction is always there. Nudging the impulsive and teasing me to throw caution to the wind.

    It's been a few weeks since my last relapse. It was costly and completely irrational but it was a minor slip and completely justified in the end result.

    However, today.......... I lost control.

    I've bought another amplifier.

    A Luxkit Z504 power amp.


    I heard one of these at the Penkridge bakeoff and to be honest, I rated it.

    No Krell for me at the minute but I'm more comfortable trying this out. If it doesn't work out, I'll move it on and wait for the right Krell.

    I have a sneaky feeling it could be quite good.

    Opinions welcome as always.

    The Avance was a proffessional build by Avance at the direction of Luxman. The kit was never released in the UK for this amplifier through fear of misunderstanding of the Schematic.

    It's a proper amp, no bodgers been in this!!!!!

    The easy cure is a bigger budget. Efficacious in every case

    From the web, just a peak inside of a unit. Not the one I've bought.

    That's good. I had heard of them but not seen one in flesh.

    You need to start up audioholics anonymous mate.
