Has Anyone Uesed A PrimaLuna Amp With Harbeth Speaker's
I am very glad to hear from owners that have had no issues. PL is still not my cup of tea, but I respect what they do. I honestly had no agenda and just thought it was odd and perhaps more than coincidence that the 2 dealers I spoke to both mentio... 
Naim and Elac Adante, Wow
Ok audiotroy I was kind of with you until you said every Andrew Jones design strives for speed and accuracy except the cheapy pioneer line. I would add the debut line to that exception big time. Very colored, boomy, closed in sounding speakers wit... 
Has Anyone Uesed A PrimaLuna Amp With Harbeth Speaker's
I don't really have an agenda  to fulfill just making sure everybody's aware of what I've heard. I can give you my source if you'd like. He is a good dealer and he said he would tell Kevin to his face the same things that he said to me when I call...

I trust the folks that sell them day in and day out and are not biased. Thanks Kevin. 
Has Anyone Uesed A PrimaLuna Amp With Harbeth Speaker's
I've now heard from one current dealer and and another former dealer that say PL sound nice but the QC is not the greatest. One said he sells both Rogue and PL and the Rogue is built more consistently. They both said that there are a high number, ...

Yes, I did demo the Dialogue Premium at a dealer. I can't remember which taps we used.  
High-End Standmounts: KEF LS50W vs. NOLA Boxer II vs. Revel M106
Boxer II all day every day.Way more musical and enjoyable and with better depth and more natural imaging and tone than the other 2 by far.

I was personally underwhelmed with the PL Dialogue Premium when I finally got to audition it with my speakers. Harbeth bass tends to be slow and underdamped so why would you want to add to that issue with an amp that is not very good at controllin... 
Which Budget Speakers, Tekton or Omega?
The air motion tweets in the goldenear sound much different than the Dali ribbons, much warmer and more forgiving speakers overall. Smoother than most domes as well. I'm glad the dac has helped. For me it was a combination of mullards plus a new u... 
Which Budget Speakers, Tekton or Omega?
Lowrider - do you have the Gallo CL-3 like me? I used to drive them with a 50w tube amp that was switchable to 25W triode - that was nowhere near enough to drive them properly and 50w was right on the edge. It wasn’t until I replaced the EL34 with... 
Who do you recommend for Integrated Amp Mods?
mdelrossi1thanks for the response. I asked a guy who does a lot of mods and builds his own gear and he said the same thing, that it's well built and designed so probably just tube roll. The Philips continue to sound awesome. I have some NOS Mullar... 
Exogal Comet Plus DAC vs. Ayre Codex
Someone, Please!!! 
Who do you recommend for Integrated Amp Mods?
Well tonight I put some nos Philips tubes in the preamp board. Wow really nice difference. Much more liquid and smooth with more body to the mids.
