| Upgrade phenomenon 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 pleasan... | |
| How do you audition speakers at a store? I bring my own speakers. I want to hear how others sound in direct comparison to mine. They obviously won't sound the same as they do in my home, but everything else in the store's system will be identical, so the only difference will be the spe... | |
| What is wrong here.. on Audiogon? I agree with rbstehno1 about liking the sound better with a good preamp between the DAC and the amp. That's based on the same two PS Audio units, but with different brand preamp & amp. | |
| Remasters - are they better? What exactly is it? An observation about bass: I don't remember hearing deeper bass than on the Eagles' LP "Desperado" played through Cerwin Vega subs. | |
| Most annoying song, period. One was "Surfer Bird" by The Trashmen. The other was a version of "Summertime" by I don't remember who, but it was in the late '60s. There were others, but these two stand out. | |

| Bookshelf Bake Off andrewkelly:I have a pair of Sierra 2s and I'm very happy with them. I hadn't heard of the EX until you mentioned it; I looked at their site, and I have complete confidence in their proclamations. I might just order a pair of the update kits m... | |
| Your favorite Small Apartment Speakers I'll add another vote for the Ascend Acoustics Sierra 2. | |
| Carver, THE standard of excellence IMO Frank Malitz - what a class act; a gentleman of the first order. | |
| Please Help Me!! After "If given any other recommendations, I’ll try to explain why my choice is better!", I was already 90% sure this was humor. Then before I even finished the next sentence, I knew it was! Pretty clever, and a slight bit subtle; enjoyable. | |
| Most impressive small footprint speaker I'll second the WaveTouch Audio Antero; and just slightly below that the Ascend Acoustics Sierra 2. | |
| Its my first tube! (Preamp) About speakers: I recommend Ascend Acoustics. I've tried LOTs of small stand-mount speakers in the last few years, and the Sierra-2s are far and away the best I've heard. That ribbon tweeter is very good. | |
| looking for ideas on must have classical music I'm not very knowledgeable about classical music, but I found a CD on which I like a lot of pieces: "Classical Music For People Who Hate Classical Music". | |
| Considering switching to Tubes About six months ago I decided to give PrimaLuna a try based on all the favorable reviews and comments. I started with a Dialogue Premium HP amp, replacing a McIntosh MC152. The sound through the PrimaLuna was significantly better than through t... | |
| Question about hum from speakers Erik, what is the long-term solution? I'm using one for my PrimaLuna preamp too, and if there's a correct approach, then I need to employ that for both of these. |
