| Audio Research, AYON and Primaluna tube amplifiers. Hey @ghdprentice could you tell me a little bit more about the detail differences from ARC to Primaluna? I run Primaluna separates and I've been eyeing ARC preamps and assumed that my Dialogue Premium is on par with the ARC LS28 and improvements w... | |
| Michael Fremer leaves Analog Planet @frogman his quirky personality and how he speaks his truth is why I've enjoyed him so much. Plus he's hilarious. There are so many sticks in the mud in audio and all this weird classism over products +$100k, I've always gravitated to the guy. Sur... | |
| Michael Fremer leaves Analog Planet Pointless drivel about someone else's pointless drivel. Great. Looks like it's been posted: https://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/eminent-audio-reviewer-michael-fremer-returns-to-the-absolute-sound | |
| Michael Fremer leaves Analog Planet Wait TAS? Man I might have to actually read them now....As a younger hifi enthusiast he's all I've had to look up to so I trust where he goes. Did he own Analog Planet? | |
| I'm at the pearly gates and they tell me I can only bring in one jazz cd None. Hell is torture enough. | |
| Upgrading from Primaluna @gasherbaum thanks for the insight. What did you prefer in the ARC over the Primaluna? I'm sure the higher ARC gear blows the PL out of the water, just kind of curious how and what you heard? | |
| Step up From Rogue RP-5 You'll be walking on water with that budget. You can buy an end all be all phono with that budget as well. I'm also considering upgrading from my Primaluna Pre to either an Arc Ls28se or Ref6 as well. I'll be following this closely. | |
| Focal Sopra, Kanta, Aria @winoguy17 is spot on. Owned Aria 936 and never loved them. I sold them off and went to Electra 1028BE and those were the first speakers to amaze me. I now have the Sopra 2's and they took a great deal of time to settle in to get rid of brightness... | |
| Audioquest Storm Series power cables From what I've heard you should always put your best cable on your power conditioner, first and foremost. I have a hurricane on my PS Audio P10 and it's fantastic. I've definitely been eyeing some Shunyatas to compare to my Thunder. Fun stuff. | |
| Awaiting a 1st impression It seems Primaluna is stretching out of the value brand and into the upper echelons of price. I'd love to hear one, but a lot can be had for $7300. Wished they would have made a power amp. | |
| Butcher Block Acoustics @mijostyn the rubber feet seem to be blocking more frequencies than the mass loading spiked feet on my turntable as well as the solid steel rack. Works for me! | |
| Best Phono Stage As a newbie I went through a few phonostages from $1200-$2000 and am glad I did for the experience. My phono upgrades have been my favorite upgrade. I landed on a Allnic H-3000 and am at my endgame phono unless I hit the lottery. Buy used and do l... | |
| Phone pre advice - Would I benefit from this upgrade? Phono pre's are my favorite upgrade. I can honestly recommend all that I've had. Musical Surroundings Nova III and Manley Chinook. Both fantastic and fun upgrades. I can also recommend the Clearaudio Concept Wood coming from a Rega P2. Whatever pa... | |
| dust protection for turntables @huang I mistyped. Tap Plastics. They have local stores across the US. | |
| Upgrading from Primaluna @newbee @audphile1 @coppy777 you all were right. Speakers were moved to 16" from the side walls and sound so much better. Still 48" from front Wall. Panels pulled and more able to capture highs instead of bouncing around the room before coming bac... |
