| Salamander racks? I own an archetype 5 shelf unit and they do look good they are not too big but they are not the most solid units. I have tightened the nuts on these things and you still get some sway. It needs some cross bracing to be really solid. That said I ha... | |
| Speakers to match PrimaLuna Prologue 2 Very happy with my triangle cometes. They work very well and don't take a lot of power. Nice bass for monitors. | |
| Integrated amps on a 1,000 dollar budget I used Primaluna PL2 tube integrated with the same speakers and had great results. They have the power to move the 602's and the sound was nice and warm. They are showing up used here for $850-1000. | |

| Fire place vs. audiophile.... I had to move my system to the side b/c of the fireplace and that it stuck out into the room. Now we can use the fireplace which is good since our house is 108 years old and drafty. Only downside was i had to get new speakers cables to reach the f... | |
| 602s3 B&W Nice to know. I bought an almost new pair last summer for $400 (one corner banged slightly) and loved them before upgrading to Triangle speakers.Plan to use them for HT. | |
| any advice appreciated My tastes in music are similar. I went with a tube integrated amp. You can find them used for under $1000. I know that makes the rest of your budget tight but tubes will make a big difference. Look for an amp that takes EL34 tubes like a Sophia El... | |
| Hybrid AV amp? In my web wanderings I did look at their stuff before i was thinking of tube HT. Just looked at it and yes this would be great but I teach for a living and $2400 puts it out of my range.Maybe used? | |
| tube friendly speaker rec I have the Triangle Comete es with my Primaluna PL2 and have used it with both KT88's and EL34's. Got a very good deal for them new (under $500) and they sound great. I think the tubes tame the high end. I was very impress with the bass, deeper an... | |
| Budget outboard phono stage Rec's Parasound Zphono used for about$100My Pro-ject Tube Box SE does not sound 4 times as good although it cost 4X | |
| Integrated Tube Amplifier for First Timer? I love my Primaluna PL2. Easy to deal with, great sound, can use a variety of tubes, well built. You can find them used for about 1K on Audiogon. | |
| Reliable tube integrated for $1000 I love my Primaluna PL2, low maintainance, great sound, plenty of power. | |
| Decent low-cost used phono amp Sorry i meant the cart not the Zphono that is still ticking :) | |
| Decent low-cost used phono amp I really enjoyed my Parasound Zphono with my Pro-ject Xpression and Shure V15VxMR till it got gakked | |
| Deciding on a phono preamp I'm using a Parasound zphono with my tube integrated Primaluna. Liked it better than the internal phono stage that was in the PL when i bought it. I have a Pro-ject Xperience 1 and have used a shure VMx15, Ortofon Super OM20 and a Grado Gold and t... |
