Gordon's a typo.

Unsound, I think the problem period Gordon Jolida was before the current team located to Maryland. And, Underwood Wally is an outstanding seller of this brand and others. A straight shooter.

Ebuzz, generally speaking, I want a similar sound that you desire. Jolida should do that for you. A while back I owned, for my office, a little Jolida FX10 EL 84 integrated. At the time, for $425.00, it punched way beyond its price point and gave ... 
PRIMA LUNA owners, what power tube are you using?
To the Op, thanks for asking this question as well as your well written description of your experience with the Primaluna Dialogue One. The tubes I have used the most and have championed is the Russian NOS Reflecktor 6n3ce, 6L6 tube. I first heard...

Had the ARC in the past. If it were me, I'd go Jolida. The ARC, to my ears in my room was lean, with a dry, whitish sound. Not my cup of Joe. 
Tube Pre-Amp for Luxman L525
Wow!!! I second Mechans terrific advice. That's what I would try first, and I'm fairly certain it would work well.

To Tube or not to Tube......
Save yourself a lot of $$$ and follow Wolf's advice; he is a wise person, as well as fellow musician, who knows the difference between SS and Tube reliability. Wolf's thoughts echo my thoughts, brothers, father, mother, and nephews, all musicians....

Has anyone tried the Coincident Dynamo 34SE
Swampwalker, primarily the Dynamo 34se, but I am eventually going to go for the 300b. Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. 
Has anyone tried the Coincident Dynamo 34SE
Grannyring, I've looked at the Inspire and it is intriguing. As you can see I have bought Dennis Had's products, for me they have been stellar, with no problems. Dennis was easy to work with. I also own the Cary SLP98 Pre.

Charles, I'd likely purchase one of Israel's speakers. At the moment I have Tekton Lore, Tekton 4.5, as well as Infinity Prelude Compositions, 96db, 4 Ohm/with built in 300 watt amp driving the 12 inch woofers. I currently own a Cary V12, Cary 300...
