| Tube Integrated vs Tube Seperates I was in your situation (same budget) and went with the PL EVO 300 and for the money, I personally think it’s a great value. Upgraded to KT-88s and NOS preamp tubes and it never looked back. Will I go to separates one day? Probably, but that leav... | |
| Why is there no love for Prima Luna? I think this thread actually shows that there is quite some decent love for PL. Let’s remember Agon is a small subset of an already small subset of the population (audiophiles). There are many happy PL owners out there that wouldn’t even know Agon... | |
| DSP TO TAME THE BASS IN HARBETH SPEAKERS Won’t comment on if you do or don’t need a DSP. I’ll leave that to others who seem to know your system better than you do! ;-)I just integrated the DDRC-22D into my system and for my room, my limited ability to treat, and my configuration it was p... | |
| REVIEW: Roger Waters, “Us And Them” (Live) Well, subjectivity being what it is, it's interesting how we approach an experience like this. I saw Roger Waters live on that Us+Them tour and it was easily one of my favorite live shows in the past 5 years.So when I listen to it, I relive the sh... | |
| Can anyone recommend an FM Receiver that would play into a relatively high end system? +1 on the Sony XDR-F1HDI picked it up years ago after reading a columnist in Stereophile rave about how this little thing sounded. I don't read Stereophile anymore (I got wiser), but he wasn't wrong on this little Sony thing...Might be able to pic... | |
| PrimaLuna Preamp Upgrade Question Add me to the list of "tubes before separates". I own the EVO300 and swapped all tubes: power is GL KT88s and preamp tubes are a combo of NOS Radiotechnique and NOS Telefunken. The upgrades to the tubes made a sizable difference, enough to satisfy... | |
| Sound, neutrality and the pursuit of everything Folks, I really enjoy everyone's approach to this, so thanks for commenting. For once, there is not post touting "absolute knowledge" on a topic, or condescending comments. It's refreshing!My purpose for the post was to see how different people ap... | |
| 192 khz/24 bit Albums on Qobuz @redheads the Node2i does output 192 through optical, i’m listening to it at the moment. Outputting to my Cambridge DacMagic+I found that you need a decent Tos-link cable that has the bandwidth to transmit 24/192. Some cheap ones don’t have the ne... | |
| speakers or room??? I have the XT8 speakers as well, also fed by some Primaluna gear. I listen to a lot of jazz piano (as I type this actually) and have not had any issues with any midrange spike. I actually used a mic and REW software to do some room measurements an... | |

| I need a good looking and good sounding speaker .... Check out the Tannoy XT8F. Got them in white and was surprised at how awesome they look. Not to mention how they sound for the price... | |
| Surge protector vs wall debate for amps Just got the new Audioquest Niagara 1200 with a couple of high current outlets for amps. Not enough time with it to be 100% sure, but I would say it was an improvement SQ wise, and a piece of mind with the protection. | |
| Hunt for new floor standers You shouldn’t overlook the Tannoy XT8F. Not a lot of dealers and therefore harder to audition, but totally in love with mine. Really punch above their weight. In the mid $2k new. Some respected audio reviewer I can’t remember heard them and though... | |
| What other Hobbies or Interests Do You Have? The correlation factor between high-end audio and Porsche's seems to be strong with this group! Definitely cars for me as well (1965 Mustang convertible in the garage). Wine and food are probably a close second to audio. If I could find a way to w... | |
| Separates or Integrated? What makes more sense? Primaluna’s latest offering is surprisingly good for integrated in the $4k to $5k range. There is no magic in spending $10k versus some other sum...Quick example: friend has massive system, in the $250k to $300k range (think Focal Grand Utopia). I... |
