Can I get my Prima Luna to sound more like a SET/300B?
Do you run it in triode mode?   DeKay

I like it too, but this doesn't mean that you are not a few bricks short of a load. DeKay  
Should I move on from my Hagerman Trumpet MC Phono Pre?
Have you tried the 60's Mazda's in the Trumpet? If not try switching them with the Ray's. Realize this gets complicated it you are running other sources through the Rouge - but this is also part of the fun - right?   DeKay    
Should I move on from my Hagerman Trumpet MC Phono Pre?
Suggest that you detail your entire system along with what tubes you have "rolled" through the Trumpet and your take/opinion of them. "NOS high end tubes" is too vague a description to be useful.   DeKay

Requesting Your Expertise - Best Options - High Sensitivity Speakers For A Smaller Room
I once considered these to use with DH/SET amps, but my listening room is too large. Had I gone with them anyway I would have added 2 small Gallo subs located under the speakers. The link is to the current version (before they had the original a...

Amplifier recommendations for 86 dB Sensitivity Speakers
This was taken from your 2018 thread: "I moved from a small space to a very large 950 sqft loft with 15 ft ceilings." This is important info if this is still your space (especially the ceiling height).   DeKay  
For all you Beatle fans here is another great documentary on PBS!
Thanks, was able to schedule 3 episodes to record.   DeKay  
just wanted to share my fix for making my speakers cat and grand kid proof!
I've found this to be extremely effective and as a bonus it waters the Shag carpeting in our living room when activated. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7jHYV6nJksw   DeKay  
Which one would you buy
The rebuild on the less expensive unit looks good, but I used Yellow Illinois coupling caps on mine @ the recommendation of the friend who rebuilt it (he used Orange coupling caps in my Dynaco gear). The only time we disagreed was when he wanted ... 
Would You Rather Own A Good SET Amp, Or A Great Push Pull Amp?
Wolf: I have a SS Musical Fidelity X-A1 that sounds like a really good tube amp, but I need to take it apart and re-apply the heat sink grease before putting it back into action (forgot to do so when repairing a manufacturer's assembly error). B...
