| Quality issues with Tekton speakers.... I'll finally add my two cents since I have also been following this thread. I feel similar to Tls49. There is a lot of grey here. Eric did offer to exchange the speakers. The OP's reason for not doing so initially is a bit weird. The OP could have... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Mapman, Thanks for the heads up on the Glow One/Two. Another promising (bargain) amp that can apparently do justice to the music with the right speakers. I really enjoyed the 6 Moons review. | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Charles1Dad,Point clearly stated, I could not agree more. For everyone else My comments were merely stating the obvious and re confirming what a pleasure it is to find something in this price range that is truly good. | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Great comments everyone, this has been a enjoyable thread.Brownsfan, I especially like your cautions. You're completely right that no one (at this point) is going to get a world class amp for 1.3K; but as Tim Smith also correctly pointed out you c... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? I tend to agree with Deckert and Brownsfan. But I will say this: on large orchestral pieces, in my 16x14 foot office where the Dynamo's currently reside, hooked up to 95db 8ohm speakers I would not want to push the volume control much beyond 10 o'... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? The OP never mentioned cost or that he might have difficulty financing a new amp, or that he would have to sell his Manley. That info came way late, after Tim Smith chimed in. The OP stated what his equipment is and asked, ”what's the best BARGAIN... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Hello Tim,Thanks for chiming in on this thread. I agree with all of what you said about the Primaluna. But like you did, the Primaluna is going to help fund a Coincident 300B and a Coincident (CSL) 101 tube preamp for me, as well as new speakers, ... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Tailor, not Taylor, I'm at a birthday party, must br too much wine. | |
| Coincident Dynamo vs. Decware SE34I.4 Rebbi,I responded to you about tube rolling on the other thread. Did you read Tim Smith's review, or the Enjoy the Music review? What don't you understand? There was tons of great information on that other thread even if it did drift from the topi... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Charles,Yes, your statement is completely true. Additionally people must understand that Tim Smith, in writing his stellar review of the Coincident Dynamo 34se, has a different room, different speakers, different power cables, different interconne... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Rebbi,I am going to put my Primaluna Dialogue One up for sale this upcoming week. Great integrated lots of inputs, in great condition, for $1,950 plus shipping. So, just a heads up. Of course I'll be running the sale through Audiogon, will not che... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Rebbi,You do not need to roll the tubes, it sounds really great stock. You misunderstood the discussion. I enjoy rolling tubes to tweak the sound to my preferences. In fact, as it turns out, I believe I now prefer the sound of the stock Shuguang E... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Brownsfan,Thank you so much for the recommendation. I do not own that copy, will buy. I enjoyed reading the various commentaries on this cd.Charles, my wife plays classical guitar, her ears are stellar, she is my touchstone when it comes to the qu... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Brownsfan, Please let me know which recording of Shostakovich Symphony no.13, Babi Yar, you used in your listening test as I would like to purchase that copy if I don't already have it. Thank you.Best, Rob | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? No, the Cary combo of V-12, SL98 actually sounds better than the the Primaluna Dialogue One. Also, I liked the V-12 with the Audible Illusions Modulus 3A as much or more when I owned that wonderful preamp. The Primaluna Dialogue has many more inpu... |
