| Integated amps with phono? I have a Primaluna PL2 with KT88 tubes and it had the phono stage built in and it was great. Sounded fine with my Pro-ject Xpression and Shure V15VxMR cart.I only got rid of it when i got a separate phono stage with my new TT. | |
| Rocky Mountain Audio Fest - compared to-- Its in Denver, its got to be fun. If anyone is going and likes a good martini and a funky place check out the Cruise Room in the Oxford Hotel in LoDo on 17 and Wazee. It opened the day Prohibition ended and has a very cool Art Deco interior | |
| whats wrong with ebay? I had only one bad experience and Paypal gave me my money back. I have bought furniture, albums,cameras, postcards/ephemera and even a 62 Mercedes sedan on Ebay. But, I have had much more enjoyable experiences here on Audiogon in the short time I ... | |
| Recommend a method of getting analog into my PC I just bought a m-audio firewire audiophile audio interface. Sounds pretty damn good. I go out from my phono stage into the M-audio into my Mac. I can also monitor the recording from my amp using the M-audio's line outs.I also bought for $80 an Ed... | |
| Primaluna :Prologue 1 or 2 I have had my PL2 for 5 months and I love it. Have not compared it to the 1 but did roll some EL34 tubes in it. To mushy for me, prefer the KT88's but I do have a choice. I have it hooked to B&W DM602 s3 which i hope to upgrade in a few years ... | |
| Best budget CDP? I am real happy with the Music Hall 25.2 i have hooked up to a Primaluna PL2. After about 75 hours it started to break in: richer, cleaner. The remote is not great but i rarely use it. I got mine from Underwood HiFi for close to $400. | |
| Did I kill my stylus? Where does one find Alsop Orbitrac? I googled it but got nothing but great reviews no dealers.thanks | |

| What equipment or event thrust you into the hobby? A story in the NY Times about tube Ipod dock and a colleague with a dead aunts old Mac mono amp. Got me looking into tubes and deciding that after 16 years of SS cheapo stereo to take the plunge. Still falling :) | |
| Quiet, Reliable Hard Drive I have 3 Maxtor's 250GB, 300GB, 1 TB. The 1TB was only $450 and i forget its on its so quiet. I have had no problems with any of them and the two smaller drives get carried back and forth from home to work and to service centers. | |
| Looking for a first Tube Amp for under $1000 Take a look at the PrimaLuna amps. They go fast here but you can find a PL1 model for under $900 (35wts) or a PL2 for just around $1000 (40wts) and has more punch. They are both auto-biasing, 4 inputs, you can use a few different tubes in them, ad... | |
