| Where is my digital problem: taste, vinyl v. digital, DAC, realities, etc? So you have a Manley Chinook tubed phono stage (very nice) feeding a PrimaLuna tubed Integrated (also very nice)... Pouring tube sugar on top of tube honey... So sweet... That is going to be hard to match... Look at R2R Designs Like Denafrips ... | |
| Need Help With Focal Scala Placement Unfortunately thats a lot of speaker for a small room... I would suggest using something like REW to see what is going on with the room and apply more base traps, wide band absorbers and diffusers... You may need more than thick curtains on that... | |

This combination along with a McIntosh MC152 Amp and a pair of Martin Logan ... | |
| Primaluna Diaglogue Premium Preamp Owners I feel that in my system, the GGLs bring higher highs and lower lows... Extension, resolution, speed and a tightness across the frequency range... The CIFTEs bring an edge, air and sparkle to the top... When everything comes together, in my listen... | |
| Primaluna Diaglogue Premium Preamp Owners I have had a PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium Pre that fronts for a McIntosh SS amp and a pair of Martin Logan ESLs for a little over a year now. I only used the stock tubes for about a month... They sounded great after run-in but I have not used them... |
