Seems like a lot of folks are putting their Primaluna amps for sale...
I neglected to caution you if you might want to attempt my Primaluna repair. Make sure it isn’t plugged in!!! Don’t touch the parts within the case! Don’t get zapped! Just spray from a quarter/half inch away.  
Whats playing on your system today?
I guess I'm deep in my senility/cups, this afternoon. I started off with side one of the Beatles White Album (that I bought the day it hit L.A. stores but which already has a six digit serial number), followed by a CD of The Four Seasons featuring... 
Speaker cutting out intermittently
One engaging quirk with my now vintage Primaluna Prologue One are the thoroughly old school control knobs. Yeah, perhaps it’s partly due to my humid, tropical locale but both knobs semi-regularly get noisy and glitchy. Sometimes a channel will tot... 
How many turntables have you owned?
Hey poke -- I had a Rek O Kut, too. Or at least my dad did. I'd put on Rubber Soul or some such. Make out with my girlfriend.  
A perfect song? What are your choices?
Lots of fine choices here!  
How many turntables have you owned?
Somewhere between five and ten. I'm not quite sure. Am I counting the turntables my sister had when we were kids? Am I properly keeping track of my wife's several turntables (including a Linn) through the years? Ah'm gettin' dizzy...  
A perfect song? What are your choices?
Parlez Moi d’Amour  
A perfect song? What are your choices?
Soldier’s Joy The Beatles’ Michelle Final Movement of Mozart’s Symphony #39. I Wanted Everything, by the Ramones O Tannenbaum A good third of the tunes I’ve tried in my O'Neill’s fiddle book.  
Homage to those who are pleased with your audio rig
brandon2 Campy? Shimano? Or are you one of them SRAM guys? Is your steel real? Or is your plastic fantastic? Once upon a time I would have asked if your aluminum was zoomium. In any case, my bicycle-crazed wife has found a website that streams pr...

I've got my cheapo Prologue One cranked up at the moment, listening to Wagner's Lohengrin from an old Angel/EMI LP.  Lovely vocal & string tone. 3D. Enjoyable if not shatteringly effective dynamics. I could care less about upgrading.  
Homage to those who are pleased with your audio rig
I enjoy the heck out of my system. It fits my tastes perfectly -- a system that offers up three-dimensionality,  unforced, natural tone quality, and that doesn't have to play very loudly to get this. I truly don't need a lot of volume, anyway.. 85... 
What's the best and/or favorite piece of equipment you've owned? And do you still own it?
The company/name may be so long-ago and forgotten I couldn't find it on google (or is my memory faulty?), but the Transistronics Integrated I had prior to my Kenwood KW40 was definitely the worst piece of equipment I ever had. It was my first step... 
Bruckner’s 9th and movie scores - connection?
Do I hear Star Wars in the opening movement of Bruckner's 4th? In any case, when the works become public domain, it's pretty much fair game.  
What's your favorite lyric from a song?
I just did a marathon cruise (or is that slog?) through this thread. Hey, cd318! Hats off for Jimmy Webb's MacArthur Park!   How 'bout some David Seville? "Ooo eee, ooh ahh ahh, ting tang walla-walla bing bang. Ooo eee, ooh ahh ahh, ting tang wa... 
Qobuz Skipping or Short Pauses
soix - I followed the instructions. Did it work? I guess I’ll find out when I get a chance to cruise the Q again, as there was no indication given whether or not the cache was cleared. I’m also pretty attached to my Favorite Albums button. I don’t...
