| Belles Virtuoso or PrimaLuna DiaLogue Premium HP @recroom that’s what I was waiting to hear about the Belles product. I did some digging, and have found out that the new Virtuoso is going be the best piece David Belles has ever done, integrated/stereo/mono’s.... he’s apparently been obsessed wit... | |
| Belles Virtuoso or PrimaLuna DiaLogue Premium HP @msommers that I did not know. You are obviously from Canada aswell. I lived in Victoria for almost 20 years. I will have to give them a call. I would really like to pack up my FUNK’s, and go on a little road trip.... | |
| Getting into tubes If you ever plan on tube rolling, scratch Rogue off your list. The tube sockets are placed directly on a PCB. The more twist and turn, the higher the chance of failure. Stay away from PCB, and go for PTP wiring..... | |
| Belles Virtuoso or PrimaLuna DiaLogue Premium HP @facten the only problem I see with LM, I can only source it from one dealer out of Montreal. The PL I can get locally,(dealer in town), and the Belles I have to order aswell (being offered a sweet deal out of Toronto). The Belles can be serviced ... | |
| Belles Virtuoso or PrimaLuna DiaLogue Premium HP @facten why the 518ia over the 219a? And I’ve been looking at the Finale website, they look like they make some great gear. | |
| Audioquest Niagara 5000 or 7000 As I have no firsthand experience with either the PS audio, or the AQ products, I can’t comment. However, I’ve experienced the Wells Looking Glass. In the system I heard it in, it made a sizeable difference (to my ears). Now, it’s a passive line c... | |
| Belles Virtuoso or PrimaLuna DiaLogue Premium HP I’ve listened to the new Anthem STR, and both myself, and the audio shop guys agreed, it doesn’t sound as good as the 225. I’m going to wait until the Belles comes out, and make my decision then. Thank you everyone for all your responses. | |
| Belles Virtuoso or PrimaLuna DiaLogue Premium HP @austinbob , this is something else I have to take into consideration. I’m not a ‘just one song’ kind of person. I usually listen to music in the evenings, and weekends. I own 2 small businesses, and at times, I leave the house at 5-5:30 in the mo... | |
| Belles Virtuoso or PrimaLuna DiaLogue Premium HP For the people that own PL stuff, How big is the difference in SQ going from the PL Dialogue premium HP integrated, to the Dialogue preamp, and the Dialogue HP amp? I’m worried that the preamp section of the integrated isn’t going to be as ‘reveal... | |
| Belles Virtuoso or PrimaLuna DiaLogue Premium HP I’ve considered the option of adding a buffer between source and amp. Seems like a viable option. Ive always lusted after ‘the tube sound’, and am finally at a point where my kids are old enough, and I’m ready for a change. My Adcom gear will be g... | |
| Belles Virtuoso or PrimaLuna DiaLogue Premium HP Guess I should spell check. That should read ‘don’t want to commit to something’. | |
| Belles Virtuoso or PrimaLuna DiaLogue Premium HP I just don’t want to vomit to something, and be left wanting. I know that’s part of this hobby, I just don’t want to be stuck on the ‘wish I would have bought that instead’ train. The idea of being able to ‘tune’ the sound with a tune amp really a... | |
| Belles Virtuoso or PrimaLuna DiaLogue Premium HP @jond , the PTP wiring is one of the selling points for me. My local HiFi shop also sells Rogue, and I’m not into it because of the PCB. If a guy wants to roll, the more you twist and turn, the higher the chance of cracking the board. I’ve also re... | |
| Belles Virtuoso or PrimaLuna DiaLogue Premium HP jond, am I making a good choice with going with PrimaLuna? Whatever I choose, reliability is a very close second to SQ. What’s the point in owning something I never get to listen to, if it’s always in the shop? | |
| Belles Virtuoso or PrimaLuna DiaLogue Premium HP The Mldwright upgrade was one of the reasons I bought the Oppo. I like the idea of valves, and am also thinking the PL would be a good option to be be able to roll a little. I think it would be a good place to start. The Belles I’m thinking is goi... |
