| Tekton Double Impacts Bill M,For what it may be worth, If you are interested in the LM 508IA and haven't done so I'd suggest either contacting either Jeff Halpern at Tone Imports (LM USA importer) to find a dealer nearest to you, or Taylor at Goldprint Audio (I believe... | |

| Parasound vs Primaluna vs Alternatives Raven Audio gets good reviews on its tube gear.Depending upon your budget I'll recommend Line Magnetic 518IA I drive my Deadalus Argos V2s with it. Other Agon members recommend LM's 508IA (in the Tekton DI thread you'll see at least one member usi... | |

| Icon Audio Stereo 30 SE Re my above post on biasing I should have noted 70 vs 75 | |
| Considering switching from Audio Research to PrimaLuna, troube with VS115 amp Other Chinese sourced well reviewed and regarded options would be Audio Space & Line Magnetic (own the latter's 518IA) . Again from US perspective Raven Audio (Texas deisgned and built) have good reviews as well | |
| Icon Audio Stereo 30 SE To each his own ears, don't find anything solid state like about the 518, but that's just me. That said, a number of folks on other threads, as well as, the dealer I bought the 518 from do tend to be more partial to the 508's sound like Kenny | |
| Icon Audio Stereo 30 SE On the top plate in front of each 845 tube there's a bias pot and bias switch, all you need to do is let amp warm up about 10 mins, flip bias switch on for one tube , use small screw driver , turn bias down to zero and then up to 75 - meter is on... | |
| Icon Audio Stereo 30 SE No experience with Icon amps; would suggest for singled ended to look at either the Line Magnetic 518IA (I have it ) 22wpc SE with 845 tubes , or the 508IA (very good feedback on Agon threads 48wpc SE with 805 & 300B tubes. Very well built ... | |
