| Re-tubing a McIntosh power amp It currently has the standard McIntosh branded tubes in it. I have just read that they have a pretty high failure rate and there are much better tubes out there for that amp. I want to replace with the same types of tubes (KT 88, 12 AX7A, etc) bu... | |
| Wanting to try a tube amp. Moofoo- just curious, hat is a Vlad amp?“Had PL integrated amps and power amps till I got Vlads amps.” | |
| Why is there no love for Prima Luna? After re-reading all of the responses it seems pretty clear that the actual owners of Prima Luna gear are overall pretty positive. As someone said, haters gonna hate. Thanks for the love! | |
| For auld lang syne, ..high-end companies you really liked that are gone.... Ah, the Dahlquist. I had a pair of DQ 10’s back in the day. Before that I had some Frazier’s, likely defunct now as well. | |
| Why is there no love for Prima Luna? Dducati have looked at the decware online but have not heard it. Reasonably priced too! There is a lot of good tube gear out there now making it hard to decide which way to go. Many options to trial at home, but that still involves shipping costs ... | |
| Why is there no love for Prima Luna? Cincy is pretty much closed up with the pandemic. I’m working from home and not going much of anywhere. At least it affords me time to research and dream about the new system I’m planning to get. Of course I’ve been in love with a different shiny ... | |
| Why is there no love for Prima Luna? Aberyclark I think you are correct. Ron Popeil was involved with both. Slicing, dicing and thousands of julienne fries..,,,,,, | |
| Why is there no love for Prima Luna? Aberyclark I remember Ronco which was right up there with Popiel. Never fell for the pocket fisherman though. | |
| Speakers good for close to wall placement Another huge thanks to everyone and their suggestions. You all have really opened up my mind to new possibilities. I must have been living under a rock the last few years. | |
| Speakers good for close to wall placement Willgolf3030. I have looked at Raven and their equipment looks really good. Another toy catching my eye is a pair of monoblocks from Amps and Sound - haven’t heard them, but they are beautiful. For speakers, I am currently interested in some from ... | |
| Why is there no love for Prima Luna? tablejockey Really, this was not a promo in disguise. I was considering the PL Evo line and wanted to understand why I was seeing mixed comments about PL. Perhaps my subject line could have been reworded, but I was really trying to get at what w... | |
| Why is there no love for Prima Luna? OK, I seem to have opened a can of worms here. I knew that being manufactured in China may be part of it, but expected the more numerous issues to revolve around the sound or build quality, parts or service issues or even reliability. Let me ask... | |
| Speakers good for close to wall placement Thanks again to everyone for their suggestions. Looks like I have a lot more options than I originally thought. I was surprised that no one mentioned Volti Audio. They were high on my list to consider, especially the new Raaz model. Very efficient... | |
| Speakers good for close to wall placement Wow, thanks everyone! Lots of new avenues to explore here and exposure to a couple of brands I have never heard of. I’m really leaning toward Raven or Linear Tube for my amp, so efficiency will be a prime consideration. | |
| Speakers good for close to wall placement Thanks for the suggestions. I’d like to go with tubes for my amp, so higher efficiency would be best. What are your thoughts on Klipsch Cornwalls? |
