| Recommend me a tube integrated amplifier Prima Luna has some highly recommended and reviewed tube amps including their integrateds. I am very happy with their Dialougue Premium HP, which is now the Evo 400 I think. I run it into Ohm Walsh 2000s and a Rythmik F12G from the preout. | |
| Tidal removing all MQA Still nobody seems to get it. I have a pretty good streamer for shits and giggles that I won't identify but it's retail is $2500.00. I also have a $1,000 turntable that I always, always go to before streaming.All you streamers, just please for the... | |
| How often, and how, do you clean your stylus? I clean only when it sounds like it needs it. Couple of times a year with many hours of playing in between. With this hobby, I don't look, or listen, for problems that aren't there. | |
| Floorstanding speaker experiences/recommendations in the $12-25k range All of the above is really just different versions of the same thing, unless I read over one. Do yourself a favor and check out Ohm. Completely different experience and changed, and I mean improved, my enjoyment of listening to music. | |
| New speakers or new tubes Decooney and perkadin: Thanks you for your posts. Yes the issue is more noticeable at lower volumes. Yes I've done many close listening sessions with both speakers and with sub engaged and not. Triode just isn't good with the Thiels so I am stayin... | |

| New speakers or new tubes I am running the Rythmik sub from the sub out on the Prima Luna. Eythmik recommends this first in its set up instructions. Also, I was looking at Rel also and although Rel typically recommends running the speakers full range they have an instructi... | |
| Where should I go from here with my digital front end? It's easy. I stream through Lumin. It's great. I have 1000s of CDs I play through a high end Vd player. But if you want better sound, it's easy. Go vinyl. It will always be more pleasurable to your ears. It just will. My vinyl playback cost less t... | |
| Thiel Owners Other equipment is Rega P3 for vinyl, Lumin D2 for streaming, Muse CD player, Nordost Red Dawn IC and speaker cables. | |
| Thiel Owners As long as we are discussing the 1.5s I'll tell my story. I bought a pair in 1996 for my for my Queens, NY apartment. Used them through 2016 in different homes with different ss amps, always sounded great. In 2016 I moved again and the listening r... | |
| Best Sound Track Ever Vote for One It's Singles...Parker 65321 has it right. Second is Shawshank Redemption. | |
| Audio Research, AYON and Primaluna tube amplifiers. I've been using a Prima Luna Dialogue Premium HP for three years. The sound is different to me than what I had been used to in traditional vintage tubes. There is no high end roll off, no emphasized mid bass bloom, rather a consistent presentation... | |
| Help…looking to buy turntable I got back into vinyl three years ago with aRega P3. Here is one for under your budget but most new are about $1,400. Besides being a great sounding table with many great reviews it's an easy set up. I'm using a Rega preamp, about $400 I think. ... | |
| Thiel Owners Thanks for the replies. To Unsound, I I just placed these 1.5s back in after a 6 year break. In 2016 both tweeters blew. I was using a vintage Dyneco amp and just turned it up too high. I decided to place on the side and replace with Tekton Lore. ... | |
| Thiel Owners Does anyone have experience matching a subwoofer to 1.5s? They get down to 42hz but I now have them in a large room so missing some bass. I removed the grill recently and saw the 6.5 inch woofer working so hard it looked like it was going to boun... |
