| 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... | |
| Current speaker threads are boring Just because you didn’t like something that somebody gave a review on and liked it doesn’t mean the equipment is bad. What you are expecting a system to sound like is going to be different from other people and every system is different starting w... | |
| Would an ARC Ref 6 be a good match for a VTL S200? I've got 30 hours on my Ref 6 so far. I'm listening to Aimee Mann as I write this. Trust me-life is short-just buy one. | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Since i am not an engineer, the complexities of plinth and motor sub-assemblies and suspensions are largely lost on me. But I do believe that the key of vinyl is looking upon the cantilever stylus-groove contact as being analogous to a tire of a c... | |
| For ARC Ref 6 owners Heat? I don't notice any problem at all. It belongs on a to shelf though with no shelf above it imho. | |
| Your choice - TT, Arm, Stage, Cartridge - $5000 budget First and foremost, if you are new to vinyl, you need a pro to come to your home and set up your table for you. It should cost between $100-$200 and will be the best investment you can spend as far as turntables go. Having a pro set it up at the p... | |
| Theta Casa Nova vs Audio Prism Mantissa I am and my Mantissa which is in excellent condition is for sale. i have no idea as to current "fair marker value". My ARC dealer from whom I bought my Ref6 has it; Brad at Sound and Vision in Powell. He was going to sell it for me. If interested... | |
| Theta Casa Nova vs Audio Prism Mantissa Good question. I still have about two dozen pair of mixed 6922's and equivalents and 12AU7's and equivalents left over from the Mantissa and my advice is to use Upscale Audio, Jim McShane or Bob Hamme and simply ask them what they have at the mome... | |
| Theta Casa Nova vs Audio Prism Mantissa I LOVE seeing reference to the classic, overlooked, and largely forgotten AudioPrism Mantissa! I proudly owned and used one for over twenty years. I bought mine new from a prominent Columbus, OH high-end retailer who did not carry Audio Prism and ... |
