| Which integrated amp for better musicality - Parasound Hint vs Primaluna vs ??? Cool. The PS Audio should rock and rhyme with many amps out there! | |
| Which integrated amp for better musicality - Parasound Hint vs Primaluna vs ??? I’ve had the PL Dial Prem HP, great piece but too hot for my non-AC place in CA. So I’ve gone Class D with the Bel Canto DAC/Pre 3.7 into the BC Ref600 monos. BC made tube amps for 20 years, and started switching over to Class D in the 90s. The po... | |
| Pathos Logos I’ve had a few severe volume knob issues over the years from shipping and regular use. Whether from shipping or regular use, the system that holds the knob in place from the INSIDE of the amp untightens, gets loose, gets knocked around over time. ... | |
| Music Server - The Search Begins @soundsrealaudio- which Melco model do you have ? I'm seriously considering the Melco N1A Mk2, for around $2500. The amount of detail they put into the engineering to reduce noise is admirable. Any glitches with using outside Apps like Tidal ? or ... | |
| Going Tidal, Need ??? Some server/streaming BASICS ... 1. I subscribe to Tidal, but this is a "wired" system, meaning that you can either play the tunes from the App directly from your PC/phone/table. But if you want to send the Tidal tunes from your PC to your extern... | |
| What's your favorite lyric from a song? @cd318 I hear ya. I latched onto Tempest about 6 months ago, after reminiscing with Bob on his Americana "Triplicate" album. The dark nature, but beautiful brutality of Tempest had me enamored for a good 2 months. But I hear ya, and thats why I on... | |
| What's your favorite lyric from a song? @bdp24 Probably preaching to mostly the choir, but what is so amazing about Dylan is that he has reincarnated himself and/or his musical style/voice at least 4-5 times, every decade, and being successful with each one, particularly the success fol... | |
| Burt Reynolds has passed away That’s right yo, Maybe Burt didn’t play an instrument, but he “played” with more Grade A women/actresses/models than anyone on this forum. :)I mean, Cannonball Run .. you can’t diss that movie: And here is just the “short list” of actors In Cannon... | |
| Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first? “If transistors came first, and then decades later tubes were invented, would we have any tube amps we would call high end?“Erik, to thoroughly answer your question, I would have to say ...No. B/c Class D would crush them both. :) | |
| Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first? I’m kind of late in the convo here, but ... the original “experiment” by Mr Walker was more of a sham, not a true experiment that controls for all/most variables as we do it in the real world. He found 2 different amps, ONE SS and ONE tube, but r... | |

Kevin owns Upscale, and he is part owner of PL.Go to the website and read up on the tubes. Kevin also makes videos explaining the sonic attributes of his tubes. And videos on the PL ... | |
| SOTA vs VPI (or stick with my Rega?) Well, one man’s PRAT is another man’s ... PRAT What I mean is that the type of PRAT that the Rega has is different than the type of PRAT from a VPI, IMO. I think of Rega’s sonic signature as being tied to a more traditional British sound, such as ... | |
| FM antennas.............Does ANBODY still make them? +1 Magnum Dynalab. check out eBay, try searches such as “vintage dipole” check Craigslist, same search terms | |
| VPI Prime or Scout or ??? OPthis is a no-lose situation for you if you buy used from a reliable dealer. Recs: Call VPI directly and tell them you are a fellow NJ-ersian waning to try vinyl and ask for any demo’s of the Prime or Scout. I called them some years ago, and th... | |
