| Primaluna dialogue premium HP tube rolling suggestions to reduce brightness avanti1960-Dark, as opposed to bright, or dark as in heavy and not light and airy? Who/where is the source for the JJs? | |
| Primaluna dialogue premium HP tube rolling suggestions to reduce brightness aniwolfe- I prefer the ultralinear mode, too, primarily because the soundstage is much bigger, which is why mini-monitors and EL34s have been at the heart of my systems for decades. What else is in your system, if I may ask? | |

The amp has output terminals for 4, 8 and 16 ohms. While my proacs are 8 ohm, when I run them using the 4 ohm terminals, th... | |

| Wireless speakers for a second room? thanks for all the ideas! i have been looking at the links and googling, and most look feasable. now it is just time to pick a price point and dive in. i will probably start with a low price point item for background listening, then, depending o... | |
