| low phono output, high c/d output-what gives? Every tuner i have hooked to my int amp has much higher output than my CD and Phono which are about equal. This includes a digital HK tuner and a tube Mcintosh. | |
| Budget minded bookshelves I used DM602 s3 with my tube Primaluna PL2 and was not thrilled. Sound was a bit dull and not as rich as i had hoped. Bought a pair of Triangle Comete's and wow the sound is full and rich (as best it can be with bookshelfs) and a nice top end.A fr... | |
| I want to try tubes, need suggestions Don't forget Primaluna. | |

| Jolida 1701...is it really that good? I use the Cometes with Primaluna PL2. I suspect you would get some nice sound with an all tube Jolida. Don't expect rumbling bass but the Cometes are great with tubes. I also have the MH CD25.2 and i get great bass listening to Warsaw Village Band. | |

| VPI vs Avid I went from a Pro-ject Xpression I with a grado gold to a VPI HW-19 mkIV with the Jelco 250st and the grado gold. I hear more pops and noise than before. Much more reveling TT than the Xpression. | |
| Les Paul dead at 84 nt. Saw him at the Iridium in early January. I was a bit skeptical at $50 a pop plus drink and food minimum but we were four feet from him right in front and he did a great show. Very funny and he could still kick it. Even called my wife doll face whe... | |
| Linn vs VPI? I just got my VPI HW-19 setup and running and one of the first things i noticed as i played my reference album (Apostrophe, Zappa) was the much greater bass than the Xpression. Also a much deeper soundstage. And it sounds louder, normal was 9 o'cl... | |
| Linn vs VPI? I also recently upgraded from a project Xpressions to a VPI HW-19 mkIV. I seriously considered Linn LP12 but I read that it is a tough table to setup and many people recommended having a expert set it up. The VPI HW-19 is no longer being made so t... | |
| Jelco St-250/Audioquest PT6 the exact same? thanks | |
| Hybrid vs. Straight Tubes Your speakers are efficient enough why not just go tubes with a nice Int Amp like the Jolida, Primaluna, Rogue, etc.I was in a similar situation wanted to replace an old SS receiver and said shy not bought a used Primaluna PL2 since it takes a nic... | |
