| Just retired and want to get back to vinyl listening Most phono cartridges are inherently balanced; they have separate left, right, grounds and shield. There are many fine, truly balanced phono stages, such as Audio Research, and a good argument can be made that the phono section is the most benef... | |
| Just retired and want to get back to vinyl listening They do have balanced outputs - don't let the RCA connectors fool you. And you can feed those balanced outputs into a balanced phono preamplifier - some of which also use RCA connectors on the input. OK, you will have to explain this one to me... | |
| Just retired and want to get back to vinyl listening I do have a question -- if folks would be so kind -- about pro/cons on using the rca line inputs - outputs versus the balanced I/O on some of these equipment pieces -- I have no experience at all on the balance I/O - thoughts? The simple answer... | |
| PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium Preamplifier. DESTROYS SPEAKERS!! btw how picky on placement do you find the 0/93s -- how far out from the wall -- how far apart - anything between I should check my Monroney sticker, but yes I think so. It replaced a 2014 Golf TDI built in Germany and other than the windshield an... | |
| PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium Preamplifier. DESTROYS SPEAKERS!! I am not defending PL. I don't own an PL gear. I think it fairly clear that KD is acknowledging a problem with the OP's preamps. My protest is with respect to the over-arching demand that every piece of PL gear be recalled and inspected. Chicken L... | |
| PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium Preamplifier. DESTROYS SPEAKERS!! Awwww geez louise where does the madness end? This "lbocquin" has come here with his very first post and splintered English and confirmed we do indeed have a sea of defective products out there just waiting to combust our draperies and homes. But ... | |
| Just retired and want to get back to vinyl listening Ralph, don't take the bait. Industry insiders tend to shy away from enthusiast boards because of being abused. I have seen this happen again and again on a popular wine board-winemakers pitch in with their wealth of knowledge and get accused of sh... | |
| PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium Preamplifier. DESTROYS SPEAKERS!! I am not looking for my $30,000. speakers to be replaced, I am NOT looking for compensation for my time lost and aggravation.I have never, during this whole episode, asked for ANY KIND of compensation from PrimaLuna.I understand, what happened he... | |
| PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium Preamplifier. DESTROYS SPEAKERS!! Well George, what do you have to say now? Let me guess; you will continue to insist that it was all PL's fault and not Bryston's. I must admit not understanding why-as mentioned by Kevin, ML would handle this under warranty-how is this a failure o... | |
| Just retired and want to get back to vinyl listening btw how picky on placement do you find the 0/93s -- how far out from the wall -- how far apart - anything between I had an educated guess where they needed to be and think I am very close with no fine adjustment yet. I read John's "Care and Feedin... | |
| Just retired and want to get back to vinyl listening I only auditioned the O/93’s. I drove to Cleveland from Columbus and visited Don Better. He knew I was coming to audition the O/93’s and had them set up with gear similar to my own after we exchanged some email and he knew that I had a smallish ro... | |
| Just retired and want to get back to vinyl listening I look forward to your impressions of the DeVore O/93's. I just bought a pair a few weeks ago and though not yet fully broken in, I love them. Things may change, but the plusses are very tuneful bass, good (downright startling at times) dynamics, ... | |
| PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium Preamplifier. DESTROYS SPEAKERS!! Gee, could it possibly be that Stereophile routinely writes/repeats whatever market-speak they get from the manufacturer and only refute the mumbo-jumbo if JA happens to discover the discrepancy on the test bench-which is often hit and miss? But o... | |
| PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium Preamplifier. DESTROYS SPEAKERS!! I find the OP suspicious too. A grand total of two posts, both of which are the same. Why does a guy buy a $2500 preamp to match with 30,000 speakers. What speakers are they that cost that much and have "power supplies"? What the heck is a speaker... | |
| Current speaker threads are boring Mikey nailed it best-if I am not mistaken in his review of the ARC Ref 6-that at the end of the day a good sound reproduction system either draws you in or pushes you away. I am of the belief that far too many electronics and speakers on the marke... |
