| Primaluna EVO 300 or Carey 120S MKII? I cannot comment on the Prima Luna but I had the Cary 120 which replaced a pair of Krell 250MC . Musically the Cary had it all over the Krells. I paired it with the Cary SLP-05 preamp which I still have. I would go with the system synergy as othe... | |
| Interesting/unusual concert pairings. Al Dimeola and his band including Jan Hammer, Anthony Jackson and Steve Gadd opening for Renaissance. Renaissance never stood a chance. It was a slaughter. | |
| Two New Albums I don’t hear the Jack White comparison but on the last two Black Keys albums I do hear some T Rex influences. The latest album from Vampire Weekend is excellent. I will have to check out the Tesky Brothers. | |
| What have other owners of Tekton Design Ulfberht Speakers discovered? @smodtactical ideally to compare speakers they should be side by side. Where I live the two hifi dealers top out at around 5 to 6$K for a demo pair of speakers. The PSB Imagine T 3 is close in price to the 9K$ I paid for the Ulfberhts. The critics... | |
| What have other owners of Tekton Design Ulfberht Speakers discovered? @smodtactical I have been a Martin Logan owner for years. I love the sound of electrostatic speakers as I feel they capture more of that “live sound”. I did try a pair of PSB Imagine T 3 speakers before the Ulfberhts : they sounded very nice but m... | |

| Anthem AVM 60 vs Classe SSP 800 Thanks Mike & Erik for your responses. Mike you provided exactly the information I was looking for. Erik I want to stay with separates even though the MRX 520 is a good buy. Larry | |
| Voodoo Power Cords Great at to hear from you Mark and let me know when you are in the neighborhood. Yes I purchased their top cables but as we both know, you can get excellent performance from their less expensive cables. | |
| Voodoo Power Cords Thanks for the kind words jtcf and Lak. Yes Ozzy the Air Dragon and Phoenix are pricey but they are their top cables and I think they can compete with cables costing quite a bit more. If you have a decent digital front end I would try the Air Spec... | |
| Voodoo Power Cords With the Voodoo cables it was pretty much immediately except for the Air Dragon & Phonix that needed a little time. | |
| What have other owners of Tekton Design Ulfberht Speakers discovered? @rmd1114 out of the box the Ulf’s were showing potential but they were like a puppy that was eager to please but the coordination wasn’t quite there. As they were breaking in ,I had to occasionally move them to get the stereo image I was looking f... | |
| Using Martin Logan speakers with tube amps??Any experiences?? For over 10 years I drove a pair of ML Summit’s with a pair of Cary 211AE amps. They have about twice the power as the 805s and they were a very musical match for the Summits. | |
| Preamp upgrade or new preamp? The upgrade is a bargain. I had mine done by Cary and it was noticeable improvement. | |
| Cary Audio SLP-05 w/Ultimate Upgrade vs my Schiit Freya I have the SLP 05 with the ultimate upgrade and some pretty exotic tubes. It sounds wonderful but if you think your current system sounds great with the Freya keep your wallet in your pocket. | |
| Power amps into surge protector/Conditioner or DIRECT to wall? Final verdict? When we built our house on a hillside 2 years ago I was concerned about lightning strikes so I had a whole house surge protector installed. I use power conditioners also but to clean up the noise riding the lines coming in. |
