| Whats on your turntable tonight? | |
| PrimaLuna EVO 100 tube DAC I’d not go with a Primaluna Dac. Amp, preamp, or integrated amp, absolutely yes. I had Primaluna monoblocks and used them for years to great effect with electrostatic speakers. I’d start with building a system, whether that be with an integrated, ... | |
| Adding tubes to integrated setup For a new tube user I’d recommend Primaluna, or any other manufacturer that has self boasting. It’s zero fuss. There are plenty of used Primaluna integrated’s on the use market at affordable prices. If a tube goes bad a light goes on and the amp g... | |

Then I found a great free website that allows you to upload images here: https://postimages.org/ To post here simply upload an image from your phone photo app - then copy the image code using the “direct link” cod... | |
| 55” or 65” TV Screen Size and Your Speakers: Please Join Survey I’m barely 8’ from my 65” screen. My best tv is a 55” Oled in the bedroom. I don’t do surround sound anymore because the living room size has gotten much smaller. I miss the days of having a 20x25’ room. Those days are long gone. I wouldn’t bu... | |
| More potential bad news for some big names... What will the lack of these products do to the used market is the question. Many products are all ready higher than they used to be. I’ve seen Palladium ll monoblocks and Aragon 8008 BB amps, each nearly 30 years old selling for $3k and $2k respec... | |
| How to bias a tube amp with a Multimeter @larryi @freediver thanks for your suggestions. I will try adjusting the MM, and the screws on the amplifier tomorrow to see if I can get a reading. Thanks for your assistance! | |
| How to bias a tube amp with a Multimeter @larryi okay, so how do I set the multi meter to display Milliamps? No, I didn’t turn what appears to be the small screws. Are you suggesting to turn the screws while hoping the MM on them at the same time? If that’s the case, what of the larger o... | |
| Spectron Audio Out Of Business? Hi Folks! After speaking with an audiophile who owns a Mk2 stereo Spectron, who’s also a technician, he gave me a rundown on Mr Manh. He’d been in touch with him and he informed me that Manh had gone to work with the military. This technician... | |
| How to bias a tube amp with a Multimeter @freediver excellent points all around. I requested a later tech I contacted that I’d need to be instructed how to bias the amp from the bias points. He accepted that. Since I don’t have a manual, and haven’t found a pdf on the internet I’m ki... | |
| How to bias a tube amp with a Multimeter Yes, probes are properly connected. I was just quoted $130 to bias the amplifier. But I’d have to wait 4 weeks to have it done because of other jobs ahead of me! Argh. | |
| How to bias a tube amp with a Multimeter @freediver yes I’ve tried turning each pot, and still no reading on the MM. I’m afraid I have to take it to a technician, which means a 45 minute drive each way. Oh well! | |
| How to bias a tube amp with a Multimeter @larryi yes, and the bias points are so close I can barely get the tips of the MM onto them! I don’t know what to make of the screws, I tried searching for a manual for the amp with no success. yes, speakers are connected, and the amp is fully o... | |
| How to bias a tube amp with a Multimeter The amp is fully operational. It works just fine. However I’ve not been able to get the MM to function. Yes, it appears to be operating fine in the above ^ example. But it’s not registering any readings when placed at the bias points. |
