| Help me choose a speaker match for my Line Magnetic 805ia tube amp under $10K Thanks everyone for your recommendations so far! Some of these, including Falcon, ProAc, Piega and Tekton, I had not even considered so far. @jperry which of the ProAc's did you hear with the Line Magnetic? No issues with power? That is one area o... | |
| Mytek Brooklyn+microRendu -or- PS Audio DS Junior? This is an older thread but I went with the PS Audio Directstream Junior instead of a Mytek Brooklyn Dac + a streamer. I contemplated the latter, since the Brooklyn includes a phono input. It sounds pretty great to me so far. Anyone else contempla... | |
| Which integrated amp for better musicality - Parasound Hint vs Primaluna vs ??? After trying out the LM 805ia for about a week, I returned it (since I was only borrowing it) and I now have the Primaluna Dialogue Premium HP. It sounded great out of the box but without the clarity and sparkle that the 805ia. We are not talking ... | |
| Anyone try KT150 in Primaluna Dialogue Premium HP This is a tough thread to read. Just bought the Premium Dialogue HP integrated and already I'm looking at spending another 800 or so on KT150's... I will try it with the stock EL34s and see how they do. It sounds like everyone is reporting a sizea... | |
| Which integrated amp for better musicality - Parasound Hint vs Primaluna vs ??? @shkong78 I am based in the US and I got the 805ia from my audio shop here so it should be available in the US :) | |
| Which integrated amp for better musicality - Parasound Hint vs Primaluna vs ??? So after 2 nights with the Line Magnetic 805ia, I have come away very impressed. The speakers just sing and have reacted very well to this heavy, heavy (42kg) addition to the system. Very musical and full of vibrance/life - especially noticeable... | |
| Which integrated amp for better musicality - Parasound Hint vs Primaluna vs ??? @soundermn I look forward to trying out the Primaluna. Very curious to see how it matches up against the LM. Great to hear another good review for the piece I'm eyeing. It sounds like you changed to the KT150's - do you think it is a must? @jamesv... | |
| Apple TV Streaming Sound Quality vs Streamer? This thread has been an interesting read. I currently have my Appletv hooked up via HDMI to my Oppo105D (to use its DAC) and it sounds like I could have a better quality experience if I used a different streamer? Will I even notice the difference ... | |
| Which integrated amp for better musicality - Parasound Hint vs Primaluna vs ??? My local dealer provided some fantastic customer service and gave me the LM 805ia to demo at home. Looking forward to listening to this amp extensively! | |
| Which integrated amp for better musicality - Parasound Hint vs Primaluna vs ??? Let's not let this conversation deviate. I appreciate everyone's comments here. Right now, I think it is down to... Primaluna Dialogue Premium HP ($4.4)Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum II ($2.5) or Pharaoh ($3.5)Line Magnetic 508ia (used for around $3.5-... | |
| Which integrated amp for better musicality - Parasound Hint vs Primaluna vs ??? Interesting, thanks @auxinput I only heard the MA8900 in the store once with a pair of Sonus Fabers and it was excellent but almost a bit bright. Could have been anything from the room setup to the speakers though. I was impressed but not exactly ... | |
| Which integrated amp for better musicality - Parasound Hint vs Primaluna vs ??? @auxinput thank you for the very detailed response. You are right, the Anthem is sonically, surprisingly good. Clarity and resolution is great but I can't help but think that an integrated amp for music will bring that to another level. Other than... | |
| Which integrated amp for better musicality - Parasound Hint vs Primaluna vs ??? No worries all - I appreciate hearing everyone's opinion and do not look at differing opinions as one usurping the other. Rogue sounds like they make some amazing product based on several threads that I have read including this one. I may have a ... | |
| Which integrated amp for better musicality - Parasound Hint vs Primaluna vs ??? The Rogue Audio Pharaoh sounds like a great option as well - includes HT bypass? | |
| Which integrated amp for better musicality - Parasound Hint vs Primaluna vs ??? Line Magnetic LM508@waltersalas @plga some very convincing arguments for the LM508. @waltersalas are you selling yours? The only concern I have is the lack of ht bypass. I have a center channel that I like to run for movies and the like and I woul... |
