| finding the weak link @rhach Addendum I rarely disagree with @ghdprentice but will do so somewhat this time. I will agree that the PrimaLuna is not the last word in high end audio and integrateds may have some compromises that aren't made in separates. At some point... | |
| finding the weak link Your speakers go down to 28hz. You will be surprised at how much more info will be extracted from your main speakers when you ad a subwoofer. Add 2. You won't be disappointed. my speakers are rated to 20hz. yet the subs were probably my biggest im... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @dayglow Would you consider the vinyl having Audiophile SQ? Yes indeed. Mine is in NM condition. I’m not necessarily a country fan but this is more bluegrass IMO. And I love good pickin’. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Don Francisco - One Heart at a Time Ricky Scaggs - Live in London Tower of Power - In The Slot David Sanborn - Close Up Grand Funk Railroad - Phoenix I'm breaking in some JJ KT 88 tubes. Sounds pretty good but still need a little more time fo... | |
| High current power cables It’s marketing, imo. A 12 ga wire will work on any piece of gear. My 1200 Watt amplifier has a captive cord that looks to be a 14 ga wire. My saw pull 13 -15 amps and I ran it on a 12 ga wire. A 14 ga would work for short distance ie 30 ft. And I’... | |
| I finally purchased a new Integrated Amp I wish you all the best, even though Luxman makes me cringe after my experience with it in the mid-late 80’s. I hope it is all you want it to be. Congrats BTW @aberyclark I looked at an amp at Hudson HiFi and may call them about re storing my HK7... | |
| Tube or Amp Problem? Please help. Given that I can set the bias for each tube individually is it still important that I replace both on the side that this occurs...I still plan on doing this but just more for my own education. Russ has given you the correct answer. And as other... | |
| Best Phono Stage Zesto & Allnic seem to be 2 of the newer players which have garnered praise in this market. The Tavish is a class B recommended component so you can make what you will of that. The Sutherland Little Loco may also be something to look into. | |
| JJ Vacuum Tubes In Stock Antique Electronic Supply also has JJ’s & Psvane.. I’m trying the JJ KT88 now. Only an hour on them so far. | |
| Do these look similar? @ghdprentice Wilson may have designed the piece and gotten their production run without being careful to make sure they protected their design and the finished pieces were sold to Dayton Audio (quite possibly with cheaper parts… so performance ... | |
| Best audiophile earwax removal system? +1 @sns I have an "ear syringe" which is what the Murine system is. Haven’t used it in a while and need to do so. I had a terrible head cold this past winter which my right ear got quite muffled. It was hard to enjoy the music. I’m back about 95... | |
| Phone pre advice - Would I benefit from this upgrade? I’m curious to try the Elac alchemy ppa-2 and see if I notice an improvement to sound. Would I benefit from this upgrade? Yes. A good phono preamp is always a great addition IMO. this one will apparently be good for the TT upgrade as well. | |
| Those that upgraded from Tekton The biggest problem I see with the Salk is their 86db efficiency.. Your 48 wpc amp will have a big load on it. | |
| Fed rate increase = lower hifi prices? Nah Master of Reality but that’s a foreign subject to the L’s | |
| Fed rate increase = lower hifi prices? @ghasley @soix In light of all the things I have mentioned, you have addressed NONE of them, instead putting forth theoretical rhetoric. We live in a real world. in this real world, the gas has either doubled in price or it has not. Hamburger ha... |
