| Matching amp to modulus 3B and vanderstein 2ce Any quality tube amp. When I had the Vandy 2ce and Audible 3a I used a Cary V12. | |
| WHAT RECORDINGS MAKE YOUR SYSTEM SHINE? Just about any RCA Living Stereo recording. | |
| What are your general thoughts of B&W speakers Not a fan. Trust your own ears. If you like them that's all that counts. | |
| Optimizing the Prima Luna Premium Integrated amp I have swapped a number of NOS 12au7 in my Primaluna Dialogue One with great success. To my ears the Amperex Bugle Boys are the best. I have failed in my quest for a "reasonably" priced 7316 Amperex mentioned by Mechans above. I also like the RCA ... | |
| Why don't you like Mageplanar speakers? I'll hang with Stanwal and his comments, yet Elizabeth was quite spunky with her comments. Always trust your own ears. | |
| Tube amp for Harbeth compact 7 I really like the Leben integrated amps. The Primaluna amps are also good (I own the Dialogue One), but I suspect the Line Magnetic is as good or better as my Luna, yet much less expensive ($1,650-$1,850. For LM) as opposed to $2,599 for my Luna. ... | |

They look like DeVore Orangatang or one of the bigger Shindo speakers, except the Line Magnetic comes w... | |
| Which is REALLY the best Conrad Johnson Preamp I loved my pv10 for same reasons as Mechans above. | |
| The Best Compliment You've Gotten On Your Rig? I find it absolutely amazing how indifferent most people are to a good setupand quality sound. Women seem to be the most indifferent, which has always stunned me, my wife and mother excepted. I grew up in a household of musicians that included my ... | |
| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore Eric formally worked with Ray Kimber of Kimber cables, call, and seek his advice. I'm a long time user of Kimber 8TC, can't go wrong with them in most situations. Of course, I also use and have used many other brands. | |
| Your best power & preamp tubes combination? EL34s, Psvane along with above mentioned driver and input tubes. | |
| Your best power & preamp tubes combination? Primaluna Dialogue One with NOS Russian Reflector 6n3ce; NOS Amperex Bugle Boy 12au7; NOS Sylvania 5751 black plates. | |
| Metrum Octave versus Eastern Electric DAC Sibelius, I am doing the same, except I found a used Metrum, should arrive in about week. Then I need to purchase the EE upgraded plus and intend to do that after I listen to the original EE no upgrades against the Metrum. | |
| Metrum Octave versus Eastern Electric DAC Gopher, nice system. I hope to move to either Shindo or Leben soon from my Cary 280v in my main rig. |
