| Best audio tweak ever, especially for the over 60s Not good to get rid of ear wax. It’s natural protection against angry audiophiles and know it all teenagers. | |
| Audio research VSi75 -why so many for sale? I’m with you. Tons of primaluna for sale as well. Makes me not want one. | |
| My Triad of Integrateds Damn I was gonna buy a Luxman, accuphase or pass integrated. Now I gotta buy an audio analogue. | |
| Why No McIntosh Recommendations? Mc owned by d and m holdings group. That’s Denon and Marantz. Their stuff just isn’t that great at its price point. There’s much better stuff at that price point. I also feel their ss gear is too colored. I love their old tube gear but today’s goo... | |
| Let's roll: what pre-amp tubes should I consider next? Wow. Not 1 mention of telefunken 12ax7’s. Thats odd. | |
| What are the advantages to a Class A amp & what are the trade offs? Nobody needs a pure class A amp with 100wpc unless you use it to weld as well. I’ve got a class A 80wpc and it’ll drive any speaker made. It has such a full, lively 3D sound that even non-audiophiles that hear it are amazed. I’m a big fan of class... | |
| 2000-2500 USD budget for an integrated amplifier. Do amplifiers sound the same? :) Any decent tube integrated with fortes. I ran an old fisher 800 with mine and it was special. | |
| PRIMA LUNA DIALOGUE PREMIUM - 20 minutes and then loud pop and buzzing in 1 channel Sell it now. Seems everyone else is. You see how many are for sale? It was on my short list until recently. Hope your fix is simple. | |
| Why all or most audiophiles are men? Actually men don’t listen, just compete. That’s why it’s never good enough. My wife will listen to any of my gear with no complaints while I dissect each little nuance and she just sits there smiling and tapping her feet. I wonder what it would be... | |
| What is a lowball offer? How low is low? Nobody pays retail for new gear. Maybe 15-20% lower than retail. Therefor if a piece has a retail of 10k, a reasonable selling price, if it’s a highly regarded piece and around 3-5 yrs old, would be around 4000-4500 depending on condition. It’s im... | |
| Favorite Miles Davis release Bitches brew. kind of blue.milestones | |
| JBL 100 Classic or Klipsch Heresy III? Fortes all day. Those speakers love tubes, go very low and will crush those jbl’s. You won’t be able to turn it past 11 o’clock without ear protection. | |
| Most “disappeared” speakers. +1 prof. Mbl or music culture. | |
| Bought some `Vintage Gear` Been using a tube sansui 1000a everyday. It’s almost 60yrs old. I use some Altec model 19s and people can’t believe the sound. Good for you. Those jbl’s are awesome. Get them some better power and watch those really sing. Congrats! | |
| Considering switching to Tubes Look at cayin integrated tube Amps. Much better quality and fantastic sound. They are point to point wiring. I believe they make the amps for PrimaLuna though I could be wrong. Old Alaska saying “ come to Alaska where the odds are good but the goo... |
