Dealers participating 'passionately' in these forums is a double-edged sword. They may win some fans/customers, but also run the risk of alienating an equal number of people. Just sayin' ...
Primaluna?
I’m thinking about giving a full tube setup a go and Primaluna in particular. Looking to hear people’s experiences with Primaluna in general. My main draw to them outside of tubes is there auto bias and protective features. Wondering if people generally replace a single bad tube or if people are replacing all tubes of that type when there’s a failure. Also would be interested if there were any other companies with at least a similar protective feature. The auto bias sounds great but the protective features are a bigger deal to me.

I had the opportunity to listen to a Wilsenton R8 at a friend's house a couple of days ago. Not the last word in refinement, but boy is it impressive for $1450 (sold at Amazon). My friend is going to try better tubes to see how far he can push the SQ envelope. He replaced a Naim Supernait 3 and claims the Wilsenton is quite a bit better, especially midrange. They also have a $3000 version which is built like a tank. Once these companies establish a repair facility network in the US and countries outside China, it could spell trouble for other vendors. |
@philgo01 may is ask which Rogers amp you ended up buying? I recently heard a 65-v2 and it was amazing. I’m going to borrow it and listen to it in my system tomorrow. |
