| Purifi v Gan amps? It was impossible to audition GAN amps in Australia and the only Purifi amps available were the March range, also difficult to audition as I was unable to attend his Sydney presentation. So I had to go on 3rd party reviews. I found Alan March too ... | |
| Has anyone been able to define well or measure differences between vinyl and digital? No clicks and pops on digital. | |
| Klipsch Speakers I would suggest using tube amplification from the same era as the speakers, such as Conrad Johnson mid range amps, which were renowned for rolling off highs. | |
| Disappearing Jazz? If you are into Bill Evans try Tardo Hammer and Enrico Pierannunzi | |
| Balanced vs. Single Ended Interconnects I outlined my experience in another post. XLR hiss through speakers - RCA silence. Can anyone explain this? Pre is Aesthetix Calypso - amp EAR 534. | |

| Primaluna or not Primaluna I mentioned previously that I needed an amp I could lift so I recently bought a Nord Class D with dual Purifi and Sparkos Op amps. Shipped from the UK to Australia the landed cost was A$ 3000approx, well within your budget. I have approx 50 hours ... | |
| Primaluna or not Primaluna I have an EAR 534 which meets all of your criteria and then some and it is way superior to the made in China Primaluna. A used one should be in your price range, if you can find one. I'm selling mine reluctantly, as I need one I can lift at my adv... | |
| Viva Tubes I've bought several tubes from Viva with no problem but no idea what they are like to deal with if there is a problem. |
