PrimaLuna DiaLogue Seven Speaker Match

Sonus faber, just sounds so right with PL gear don't it! Makes great music for sure. PL premium 3 pre with prologue 7 genalex kt88, RCA nos black plates, mullards nos. Liuto. Idecco2 for iPod Dac. Good fun hunting

@orpheus- very good about the oringinal 12ax7 , i rolled them with mullared reisuues and it was not a good thing , i switched back asap. Do you have any advise for the pre amp stage of 12 au 7.I currently am using the tubes originally for the spirit amp 3 and somehow they didnt improce much they are NOS philips which are probably RCA greyplates.
Mullard NOS 1950 are incredible but expensive , i changed them with ayon oringinals and i was sent to musical heaven!

orpheus , i did talk to the guy he put me straight on the mullard NOS for the spirit 3 fronts and RCA for the rears great!

as for the PL setup
for the PRE I'm using 2 mallards and 2 RCA blacktops with existing tubes
and the powers I'm going to try the RCA clear tops , just can't see them better than the blacktops they are really good.
]Mullard NOS circa 50 make voice male or female uncannily realistic.

but at the moment my sprit 3 is a big WOW the tubes change is phenomenal.

Orpheus - thanks for the breakdown,
for my pre it currently has 2 mallards and 2 blacktops.
i am placing the clear tops on the pwr amps. can't wait.
i used el 34 originally from primaluna don't know what type it was really good but replaced them with kt 88 genalex . i liked the bottom and top end better , but the voicing not on par with el 34.

Funny the guy that started this thread never showed up?
i the worst kind of listener, all of the above.Loving the equipment for its look ART Noveau at its best, And sound how it makes me dream.
But thanks to the wealth of information here- I'm slowly understanding the people of this hobby-everytime i sell something-the knowledge keeps passing on. Most people in this hobby are like crazy genius - making their own wires , speakers , x-overs , electrical you name it - tweakers !!
I've been selling a few items lately to raise money for speakers and its such knowledgeable people i meet from the upper middle class-nuclear engineers, electrical engineers, Business men with time=wow! what a talent pool
I'm just a fishmonger who can hardly read and write.
