I have Zu Omen Defs which are quite efficient.  
Ayon's "Scorpio" tube imtegrated amp vs PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium tube integrated??.
I saw this older thread. I am thinking of a Primaluna integrated myself. I’m also seeing some new Ayon Scorpios offered here on ag by their us distributer USA Tube Audio for $3500 or so ( the scorpios are not 60 watts per channel like listing says... 
Has anyone compared K150 tubes and the stock EL34s in Primaluna integrated/amplifiers?
Question. Any tube sets (kt88,el34,etc) that are better for low volume listening? Probably 30% of my listening is at low volume. I currently have a Pioneer EQ that I switch on ( true bypass switch) for low volume that fills in the low end. I plan ...

I'm thinking of a Primaluna. How much of a sonic difference between KT88 and EL 34's? 
I've decided to try Tubes
I actually wrote Sean a while back. He stated, unlike the Soul's, the Omen Defs are good with pretty much anything you throw at it SS or tube. I was using a Pioneer Elite AV receiver when I first got the Defs ( I had 5.1 at one point at the house ... 
I've decided to try Tubes
Thanks for info. I checked out the Mini Mites a few years back. Too bad they are discontinued. My budget is approx $1300. I looked at Jolida and their quality control seems to have issues from what I see on many forums. Rouge is a little out of my... 
Mytek Brooklyn+microRendu -or- PS Audio DS Junior?
Bob, have you compared the RCA outs of the Node2 to your Dac. I’d be curious how big of a difference the internal BS Dac performs to an external one. 
And B&K owners here?
Thanks for info. I thought about the Musical Concepts mod, BUT, I'm still thinking new amp. The new Yamahas really look appealing to me. I can catch a refurbished SR2100 for about $2500 on Assesories4less. It's just waiting for one to pop up. The ... 
High End Amp Price Collapse musings
I'd be curious if McIntosh, accuphase,etc produced a Class D amp how it would compare to their normal line 
And B&K owners here?
Just curious, how much sound characteristic differences between the st140 vs the ex442? Which did you prefer? 
High quality Speaker switch box for multiple amps?
Looks like I would need to separate "boxes" for this. One splitter for the preamp audio outs and one for speakers 
Any News on MQA Lately?
I think this year will be make or break for MQA. I still feel MQA needs non USB Dacs in the $300- $800 range. You either have a $299 USB or $1900 price range.  
Oppo Sonica DAC Expected this fall
Why is gapless so difficult in 2017? 
High End Amp Price Collapse musings
Most Audiophiles who know the difference between class A and D , etc, will pay a premium for their preference. The used prices will stay steady, imo, until the people who demand such dies off. If enough new audiophiles who care keep "sprouting up"... 
High End Amp Price Collapse musings
It's all about what you are familiar with. If you never heard a good class A amp, or heard a not so good class A amp, a class D can be impressive. I had a Pioneer Elite receiver about 12 years ago and it sounded great. However, I purchased an olde...
