| PRIMA LUNA owners, what power tube are you using? Very interesting, Mikirob. What differences did you find between the Black Treasures and the RFT Siemens? I felt like I was splitting hairs a bit to hear much of a difference at all, as they both sounded great, but as I noted above, found a small ... | |
| PRIMA LUNA owners, what power tube are you using? Rekindling an older thread as I recently had a lot of fun with a good ol' fashioned tube shootout with my Primaulna Dialogue Premium (which I'm just running as a power amp through the Home Theather bypass right now).I had a lengthy shootout, with ... | |
| Tried the PSVANE Phillips Holland Metal Base EL34 I have the PSVane EL34 TII (grey bottle) and they sound great to my ears. Bested everything else I tried including rft Siemens El-34 (not by a longshot) and KT-120s. If these Phillips replicas are significantly better than the grey bottles, I'd be... | |
| Sanders 10c/d + Magtech + tube preamp Lmomo, I can't say that I can answer your question, but I have been wondering the same thing. I heard the Sanders setup at RMAF this year and thought it sounded amazing. It was the only room that caused me to seriously think about upgrading any of... | |
| Dust cover for WT Amadeus or any turntable The cover sits on the plinth itself, so 4.5" is plenty of height. And there are no cutouts needed for interconnects because it sits on the plinth, at least on the amadeus, as the cords are on the back of the table, below the top of the plinth. On ... | |
| Stylus cleaner Lyra sells a liquid stylus cleaner called the "Lyra SPT Stylus Treatment" that comes with a brush (you can get it on needledoctor--I've used it and I like it) so I wouldn't think Lyra would void the warranty on their cartridges for using that, but... | |
| Anyone going to RMAF this year? Glad to hear of all the interest! And Cymbop, coming from South Carolina is impressive. I think you'll have fun, though. This will be my third year and I'm still amazed by how much incredible gear is set up in so many rooms. It's almost impossible... | |
| Transfiguration Proteus Don,I've been very pleased with the match of the Orpheus and Amadeus. People universally rave about the Dynavector xx2 with the Amadeus, and that sounds great to my ears too, but the Orpheus is one step up in the ways that I mentioned. I also agre... | |
| Transfiguration Proteus Thanks very much for your views Pradeep and Elinor. I really appreciate it. I've made a bunch of upgrades the last 2 years and am hoping to take a breather and just enjoy the music for a while. I still have my Dynavector XX-2 mkII that I was using... | |
| Transfiguration Proteus I've had an Orpheus for about 9 months now and I love it immensely for many of the same characteristics discussed above about the Proteus. For those who have heard both, I would be interested to hear specifically how the Proteus improves on the Or... | |
| Anyone still using a Rives Parc That's a great deal on the PARC. I had the same issue and would have jumped on a PARC for $500. Bass traps helped but the boominess was still there. I ended up getting a McIntosh MQ 107 for $250, used the XTZ room analyzer pro, which quickly and e... | |
| XTZ Room Analyzer or something else? FWIW, I found the XTZ room analyzer pro II very easy to use. It quickly and consistently found a big room mode at 38Hz for which it recommended a -22db correction. I attenuated it down with a McIntosh MQ 107 (not quite all the way to a -22db, whic... | |
| How far can room treatments solve boomy bass? In case anyone is still dealing with this issue, my 2 month saga is officially over. I moved into a new house and in my new listening room, the only option was to have my listening position nearly against the back wall, which resulted in boomy bas... | |
| Any Allnic H1201 owners out there? I've had the Allnic 1201 for about 6 months now and I'm thrilled with it. I upgraded to it from a JTLI and, although I did enjoy the JLTI, the Allnic beats it by a long shot. Much fuller, richer sound but still retains all the detail that was the ... | |
| Personal speaker evolution Ok here we go:1) Realistic bookshelf speakers--$25 at a garage sale2) Bose 401 (the triangular ones made to go in a corner--perfect for my college apartment)3) Infinitis of some sort from the late 1980s4) Klipsch from early 1990s (maybe RF-25s?)5)... |
