Prima luna Owners - What Speakers are you using
I have a Dialogue 2 with all NOS Mullard and GE front end tubes, and various power tubes. Audio Electronics phono pre with all NOS tubes, VPI Scout1.1 with Soundsmith Zephyr, and Martin Logan Electro ESLs, and the amp speaker combo sounds great, b... 
Prima Luna Dialogue series, is it worth the money?
I started with a Prologue 2 and upgraded to a Dialogue 2. I love the flexibility of the triode/ultra linear mode and use it often depending on the music I am playing. Increasing the volume in triode mode on some music has a major impact on space b... 
VPI Scout 1.1 Motor Noise
For those that may have this issue with their VPI motors - I heard back from Elusive Disc who spoke to VPI and said it may be a loose pulley or spindle. I loosened the pulley hex screw and the spindle hex screw and slid both up and down a little, ... 
VPI Scout 1.1 Motor Noise
Thanks Riffer. The set screws are tight. 
VPI Scout 1.1 Motor Noise
Thank you all for your responses. I will try the mouse pad and yes the motor makes the same noise when it is away from the turntable. I will also check to see if it is rubbing against anything. I did hear back from Elusive Disc so hopefully I will... 
Primaluna-TungSol KT120s in triode mode
Charles1Dad and Reynolds853, thanks to both of you gentlemen, and you both have very nice systems!! I truly appreciate the advice. Thanks again. 
Primaluna-TungSol KT120s in triode mode
Thanks to everyone who responded, and in every manner - lol - Mikirob, I did read the Dudley Stereophile article on the 120s in Triode mode and thought it very interesting. Only one way to find out for myself I guess is buy a quad and try em. Of c... 
PRIMA LUNA owners, what power tube are you using?
A good power conditioner is essential. I bought a Running Springs Haley instead of high price speaker cables and ICs and I can't tell u how much better my system sounds. Also I really like the gold lion kt77s. I had a primaluna prologue 2 then upg... 
Primaluna-TungSol KT120s in triode mode
Thank you for the reply! I appreciate it. I was thinking 120s may give me a little more power in triode mode, but won't do it if it means sacrifice to overall sound. Thanks again! 
VPI Scout cartridge compliance
I just got a Scout 1.1 with Soundsmith Zephyr and it sounds great, better than my Marantz TT-5S1 which had the Clearaudio Vituoso Wood. My Scout has the JMW-9t arm. At first I was using a 1M Audioquest Victoria from the table to my phono-pre, then... 
Sumiko Blackbird MC vs. Clearaudio Maestro Wood MM
Dramapsycho, which cartridge did you go with? I have the Dialogue 2, with the Audio Electronics DJH phono amp with NOS tubes and am interested in upgrading my Marantz TT with the Virtuoso Wood cartridge. I have never tried a MC but did look at the... 
Improvement in CD player transports
Thanks. I am in the process of doing the comparative listening now. I just need to decide which sound I like better, as the older transport seems to sound more analog-like and since I am mostly into vinyl I kinda like that. Thank you again for you... 
Snell EIV: refoam or replace?
I have a pair of Snell EIIIs that I bought about 20 years ago and had them refoamed a few years ago by Nevisonics in Louisville (just Google it - I think the website is woofer.com or something) It was easy to take out the woofers, cut the wires, p... 
Your First Concert was.....
Led Zeppelin, 1970, Charlotte Coliseum. I was 14. They played most of first two albums. I was blown away and hooked ever since and have been pursuing live music - rock and jazz - for 40 years. 
Attn Vinyl lovers - what CD Player do you use?
For the digital front end I use a Music Hall CD 25.2 player as a transport and have a Cary Audio XCiter DAC. The two are connected via a DH Labs D-75 cable. I really like the sound of the Cary DAC; very smooth and no digital glare, but lots of det...
