| Different Tubes for low listening levels? @russ69 I meant if the speakers I have can be made better for lower level listening with different tubes or room treatment. Will the two latter help to bring out more lower level detail or is it more limited by the speaker? | |
| Different Tubes for low listening levels? @russ69 awesome advice thanks. Do you feel the speakers can make up for tubes or room treatment? I'd prefer to listen at louder volumes, but it isn't always feasible in an open plan house. | |
| Just added full LP playback I'm going to side bar this a bit, but I have a Nova III phonostage by musical surroundings. Once you get your cartridge dialed in, look into the linear power supply as an upgrade. It really helped to define instruments better, helped with separati... | |
| Phono preamp worth it with MM cartridges? I have personal experience with the elex-r built in phonostage as well as a rega p2 with the exact. The exact in all honesty had more "attack" than when I moved up to my Clearaudio Concept Wood table and the entry level Concept MM cartridge. I wil... | |
| What was your most fun and rewarding upgrade? Room treatment seems to be winning the general consensus. | |
| I underestimated the impact a new cartridge would have I'm guilty of chasing components for better and more and I feel I've neglected to recognize how good my Hana EH is. When I'm ready, next will be a big jump up the Hana line. Thanks for the reminder! | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Thou - Rhea Sylvia One of my favorite sludge bands and current all time favorite band. For those who love Black Metal vocals and heavy southern guitars.Plus the vintage album art is phenomenal. | |
| PrimaLuna Preamp Upgrade Question I'm currently running a Clearaudio Concept Wood with Carbon Fiber Tonearm, Hana EH cartridge with Audioquest Big Sur interconnects (had Transparent Audio interconnects on lend, but honestly could not tell they a difference). Phonostage is a Musica... | |
| PrimaLuna Preamp Upgrade Question @tablejockey awesome thanks for the link. I'll do some reading. I followed the basic guidelines in the focal manual but I'm always open to trying different. And I've heard the PL input tubes make the "biggest" sonic impact. What I may do is start ... | |
| PrimaLuna Preamp Upgrade Question @moofoo those Audio Mirror amps are beautiful! | |
| PrimaLuna Preamp Upgrade Question Pulled the trigger on 6 12au7's, which ill start with the driver tubes and then the flanking tubes. I also skipped over the KT88's and went with Tung Sol KT120's. Should have them early next week and excited to experiment and compare. | |
| PrimaLuna Preamp Upgrade Question And here is the setup. I would appreciate any and all feedback. The more I can learn the more I'd love to pass on. https://photos.app.goo.gl/XhLEwkzaxHqmj7Qc7 | |
| PrimaLuna Preamp Upgrade Question https://photos.app.goo.gl/uLsEz21iN238APXE9@stereo5 @tablejockey Am I operating too close to a wall? I figured 3 feet was appropriate for being 9 feet away from speakers. | |
| PrimaLuna Preamp Upgrade Question @tablejockey ahh my mistake. I put in a call to PS Audio and their thought was a P12 is an entry point for my Evo 400 due to power requirements for their newest series. After reviewing power requirements P5 and P10 should work as well. Also, you r... | |
| PrimaLuna Preamp Upgrade Question @stereo5 I'm not sure how much noise I have in my system to be honest. I know I should be investing in steady and cleaner power. We're renting so dedicated line isn't an option. I think the wiring in our house needs to be checked because with the ... |
