Replacing the Prima Luna would be a sideways move at best! Get a new phono cartridge and maybe a new phono stage. Hana SL ($750) is an easy recommendation. The Aurender streamer is fine! No need to change that! A DAC would be a good addition, though diminishing returns set in quickly above $1K.
finding the weak link
I have been debating whether to post this and decided that the experience and insights of you all would be very helpful.
I am using primarily an Aurender A10 and Dr Feickert turntable as my sources with a Prima Luna Dialogue premium integrated amp (mostly using KT150's) and Vienna Acoustics Liszt speakers. To upgrade my system further my thought was the the Prima Luna is the weak link. Any thoughts? If you agree, what are your thoughts for a replacement?
Thank you!!

The biggest change the OP can have would be a different pair of speakers. How about some Ohm Walsh's? I have a pair of the Sound Cylinders and OMG do they fill a room with 3-D SOUND! The performers are RIGHT THERE in the room! Ohm in Brooklyn can build a pair of Sound Cylinders in any finish the OP desires! |
@larryi : I agree with you! The 6L6 family is my preference for output tubes. I presently have a pair of Heath W5's and a pair of Stromberg Carlson's in use! Along with my Fender Twin Reverb guitar amp (black plate RCA's). |
