I'm sure impressed with my Primaluna Dialogue Premium HP power amp. It's better than anything else I've heard in my system - McIntosh, McCORMACK, and several lesser amps as well. If you bought without hearing a demo, you're in for a very pleasant treat.
Upgrade phenomenon
What do you call the improvement to your system that you get after you’ve made a new purchase, but before you’ve even received the new component, speaker, cable, or doohickey? I shifted my speakers a tiny bit. I looked at the GIK website and took some room measurements to investigate room treatments. I bought my first new tube power amp after months of agonizing and research and saving spare change (and maybe a little embezzlement, but that’s a secret). I bought some new cables. But I haven’t changed anything yet, just placed the orders. Is my system just happy because I’m finally giving it some TLC and buying it presents?
