Prima luna Owners - What Speakers are you using
Went from Totem Sttafs to B&W 803 Diamonds paired up with my PL DiaLogue Premium integrated amp. Sounds great! 
Best integrated up to $6000
If you have a chance, take a listen to the PrimaLuna DiaLogue Premium or HP. I owned a MA 2275 it was good but I prefer the sound quality of the PL.

Walking Into A Brick & Mortar High End Audio Store
Audio Visual Therapy in Nashua is a great place. John Rein and crew are top notch. I have been a customer since John was at Ensemble. It all started with a search for a used turntable. John treated me the same way on that $250 TT as if I was spend...

Prima Luna Premium Pre
Without question, one of the best values today. It outperforms units costing three times more. I am extremely pleased with mine. Build quality is excellent. My selling dealer let me take a demo home for a couple of days. I was sold right away. App... 
VPI Classic - Now you have one......
Somewhat underwhelmed with the Classic thus far. Lots more humming with Grado as compared to my VPI 19JR that was dead quiet. I guess I will play around with different interconnect options. 
Transparent Cable Humming
After 3 weeks of frustration, changing out cables, configurations, tubes and connections, I have finally found the source of the humming. DRUM ROLL PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!Faulty connection to the cartridge!!!!!!!!!!!While it appeared to visually be in ... 
Transparent Cable Humming
Well it looks (sounds) like the cables are not the culprit. I have tried many other phono cables and I am getting a hum with static. Wondering if a phono stage tube is going bad.

Thanks for the advice!Greg

Update! Just spoke to the folks at Transparent. Apparently, thier cables work with about 95% of applications. They have recently released phono specfic interconnects and will be sending me a set within the next few days for an exchange at no cost.... 
McIntosh MA2275 int tube Amp...OPINIONS PLEASE
I LOVE my MA2275! The sound quality is excellent and warm. Plenty of power to drive my Thiel 2.4's. I have not played with tube rolling yet but will do so soon. The 2275 is built like a tank!
