| Primaluna Dialog Two Integrated Amp vs Cayin A-88T Cayin wins my vote. When I was looking for a tube amp I tried the Prima and Cayin, and many others.

| What would you do? Both speakers, in their entity need to be replaced at no cost to you. The old ones collected at the dealer's expense. The dealer needs to refund to you 15% of the price of the speakers as an accommodation for your lost time and money. Nothing else... | |
