| Primaluna? My first edition, entry-level Prologue One integrated essentially put me out of the need/want-a-better-amp game. In the ten (fifteen? who knows?) years I've had it, I've probably gone through a good dozen tubes, but by and large the device has bee... | |
| Share albums where EVERY SINGLE song is good @gosta We got the same tastes! | |
| Share albums where EVERY SINGLE song is good Ramones -- Road to Ruin Springsteen -- Born to Run Television - Marquee Moon Byrds -- Mr. Tambourine Man Pearl Jam -- Pearl Jam Sinatra -- Strangers in the Night Laura Nyro -- Eli and the Thirteenth Confession | |
| Share albums where EVERY SINGLE song is good Maybe Rubber Soul or Who's Next, but really...even my favorite records of all time have a cut or two that don't reach the standards of the others. Even my Knaben Wunderhorn record. | |
| Just getting into Streaming, need help and advice Start off by just trying to get audio through your stereo from a YouTube or something else you source from your computer or hand held device. Then attempt a stream. | |
| Where should the vocal image be? Let the recording and your system determine the near 'n far of the vocal image. It's part of the fun. | |

| Anybody here listen to Mahler? Mahler is my favorite musical artist in any genre. Tunes! Emotions! If you can tolerate classical vocals, try "Des Knaben Wunderhorn" recorded by soprano Maureen Forrester, bass Heinz Rehfuss and the Vienna Symphony conducted by Felix Prohaska. I... | |
| In Classical music the effect of SQ on appreciation Sound quality matters a lot to me. I revel in the noise that classical music makes in a live venue, and when my fingers are up to it I revel in the sound I make when I play my musical instruments. If I can get a decent amount of that quality of no... | |
| Majority Of Your Listening Is Online Streaming Service, Do You Buy CD's Or Vinyl Any More? I regularly go to my happily tall, well-stuffed rack of CDs and ponder what I might listen to next. I have no idea how much of what I have is also available via streaming. I have entire symphony sets, compendiums of Old Time Folk artists, operas,... | |
| Majority Of Your Listening Is Online Streaming Service, Do You Buy CD's Or Vinyl Any More? If there were a decent record store less than a plane flight away I'd probably still buy 'em. Of course I'd probably have to spring for a replacement for my long-gone LP cleaning machine. I got to say, though, that I truly love/embrace the new wor... | |
| Are tubes psychological? My all-tranny Mytek server+phono stage generates a good two-thirds the heat as my eight tube integrated PrimaLuna. Plus, there's no on/off switch like the PL's got. When I switch my components off for the night, the Primaluna cools to room temp. M... | |
| Qobuz Digital Streaming I'm lovin' the Qobuz-featured West Side Story soundtrack. In my estimation, both performance-wise and sound-wise it outperforms the Original Broadway Cast version I have on CD, supposedly conducted by Leonard Bernstein. How 'bout that? Great music... | |
| What'd You Get For Xmas? We & the neighbors regularly launch into an orgy of chocolate and cookie sharing. | |
| Qobuz Digital Streaming Yeah. I love Qobuz. I'm sure that if I ever truly splurged on better analog I'd like it more, but the Qobuz crew have excellent ears, lots of choices in all genres, and an inviting on-screen format. The hi-rez doesn't hurt, either. |
