| Has anyone changed any capacitors on a Primaluna Dialogue Premium Integrated? Tablejockey,You have always been a voice of reason for me. I think we own some similar stuff too--don't you have the Technics 1200 GAE? I agree...there's no need to mess with PL until those Nichicon's get old. But I will when they do! | |
| Has anyone changed any capacitors on a Primaluna Dialogue Premium Integrated? I was just curious. I know some folks talked about doing it. I have exhausted those 2 free tweaks. I'm not tired with my system by any means. I can easily leave well enough alone. But depending on how the type of termination, axial, radial, et... | |
| Has anyone changed any capacitors on a Primaluna Dialogue Premium Integrated? I thought the HP integrated has SCR tinfoil caps. | |
| Just retired and want to get back to vinyl listening @steventoney, Look at this link: https://www.musicdirect.com/integrated-amp/luxman-l-550ax-integrated-amp-demoYou can get an open box demo Luxman L550ax for $3745. That's a solid price. That seem like a great place to start your system. You cou... | |
| Just retired and want to get back to vinyl listening There are good reasons to go to numerous dealers and try to piece together your system. The tough thing about starting from scratch is it's so hard to try out components at dealers because there are fewer than 10, 20, 30 years ago. It could b... | |
| Cartridge for Technics SL-1200GAE I have the audio technica ART9 on my GAE. I think it is a very good match. I sometimes have difficulty describing equipment in audiophile terms. I would have to say that this cartridge on this table gives a very believable and balanced presen... | |
| Have you ever met another audiogon member in person? Wolfgarcia, if you're listening, you're on my list of those to meet before I die. ;)I've virtually "met" folks only online and nearly every one was interesting and worthy of talking the hobby in person, but I've never done that. | |
| Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model) My GAE could be up for sale next summer! Hooray Technics. Keep it coming.Upgraditis joking aside, I cannot be happier with the GAE; assuming this new model will be better it makes me curious as to its performance. | |
| Have you ever met another audiogon member in person? That's great tooblue! I'm curious to hear others' stories--there must be more. | |
| Jazz for late night relaxation I know this is an old thread...+1 on Kenny Dorham, "Quiet Kenny"I also discovered Youn Sun Nah. She is amazing. | |
| Current speaker threads are boring The lion's share of my listening and auditioning has been under that imposed threshold of $15k. But it's hard for me to see any loudspeaker costing more than $1k as potentially audiophile. Maybe be its hard for the OP to get many posts about loud... | |
| Current speaker threads are boring Why not give some definitions of great speakers or even start a thread or two on them? So many folks on here are really helpful and dedicated to the hobby. Give it a try! | |
| Mullard cv4003 & 12au7 Blackburn I think the Primaluna stock tubes are made by Shuguang for PL. I've tried a ton of preamp tubes in my PL Dialogue Prem. HP integrated. I like Ciftes, Mullards, GE military spec. RCA clear tops are really bold and aggressive, which is fun but a ... | |
| Best integrated for PSB Imagine T2's Easola, any update on your research and decision? Just curious! | |
| Best integrated for PSB Imagine T2's By the way, it's actually a treat to swap out the PL for SS. I'm so excited for fall weather to arrive in Chicago. When it does, I'm getting a whole new sound for the Fall and Winter! |
