| Retirement integrated amp for a “fiscal conservative” @mclinnguy that was over the top nice of you to run that experiment! It looks like he’s selling specially matched pairs of RCA Clear Top with side getter for $99/pair. I’m going to try tube purchasing and rolling those as an initial toe in the wa... | |
| Retirement integrated amp for a “fiscal conservative” @mclinnguy thank you for your observations. If it’s not imposing, I would appreciate you testing to see if the NOS preamp tubes you now use did tighten the bass on your system (your system A looks and I’m sure sounds fantastic!). If you can only s... | |
| Retirement integrated amp for a “fiscal conservative” @re-lar-kvothe thank you and the many others who recommended the Luxman 507/509 integrated. Lots of love it seems for them. @ghdprentice I am curious why you sounded so down on Luxman when you posted your thoughts earlier? @coltrane1 I hear you a... | |
| Retirement integrated amp for a “fiscal conservative” Merry Christmas everyone!! @vuch and @corelli thank you for those words of wisdom. I know my system placement and room treatment is far far from what would help get the most out of my current equipment. Unfortunately, I don’t have the opportunity... | |
| Retirement integrated amp for a “fiscal conservative” @vuch I whole-heartedly agree that PL makes a pretty good amp, for the money. I also share your thought/“warning” regarding the ever present upgade-itus audiophiles tend to be aflicted by. That said, I’ve enjoyed the PL integrated for 7 years and... | |

| Can you recommend Jazz for some one that doesn't like Jazz? I love this post!! @fthompson251 i must be your music doppelgänger! I’m still trying to “get” traditional jazz after 50+ years. Thank you @stuartk , your post was very enlightening and educational! In addition to the many great recommendation... | |
| What is your top sexy song? “Ride” by Chris Standring and ”It’s Cold Outside” by just about any artist duets that have sung it. | |
| Step 1: Primaluna Dialogue Premium HP Integrated vs their EVO 300 Floyd Hybrid Integrated Thank you for your thoughts. One of my stock PL EL-34 power tubes recently failed. When I contacted Upscale about ordering a replacement, they let me know they are currently out of stock and didn’t have an estimate when Primaluna would ship new tu... | |
| ADD or Audiophile? @troutstreamnm I think/hope so. What is your definition of “normal”? | |
| ADD or Audiophile? @oldaudiophile 😀 i grabbed that Grundig photo off the internet. Unfortunately, my parents console was sold or more likely discarded many many years ago☹️. It would have been a really neat piece of music nostalgia to keep☹️☹️ | |
| ADD or Audiophile? @oldaudiophile thats a beautiful piece of furniture and family memorabilia. Here is the piece my parents brought back stateside with them in 1958. Apologies if the image doesnt fit. This is the first time I’ve entered anything except text in ... |
