| Which Primaluna amp ? I have some experience with Prima Luna amps. But not with your speakers. It seems you speakers do not have a high efficency. That is no problem if the impedance is fairly flat. If the impedance goes below 3 Ohm then I would advice you to buy somet... | |
| An impression of some phono stages @StevechamNope we were all sitting. Pictures were taken I do not know yet if they have been posted anywhere. When they have been posted I'll try to link them. | |
| An impression of some phono stages @GregmThe dealer told me the SL phono pre has a fixed loading. But he is not an official SL dealer he got the SL as a trade in. He also has no box or manual for it. The version I have at home now has a black acrylic front.But if you know how to se... | |
| Turntable Upgrade Suggestions @SbrownnwThe Jasmine is a good phono amp. But if I were you I would replace the Jasmine before buying a new turntable. For that kind of money I would look at something by Pass or Aesthetix. New or secondhand. | |
| VPI scout question I am no expert but as far as I can tell you are correct. | |
| Turntable Upgrade Suggestions My first question would be. What phono pre amp are you do you use? I also have a VPI Scout and I use a Lyra Dorian cart. This combo is not bad but not better then my CEC TL51x CD transport with a Wadia 12 DAC. I think I know the reason for this. I... | |
| Best speaker on used market around 10,000.00 Like other have mentioned as well I would include Totem wind on your list. But IMHO a pair of Wilson Audio Watt/Puppy 7 speakers can really rock. | |

| Preamp recommendation $300: see desired features I also vote for a Rotel RC995. It is a great pre amp. Also of you want you can come over to my place and pick up a RC-970 for free or a bottle of wine. | |
| Which Integrated amps should I audition? I know everyone will mention their favorite brands and I am no different. My recomendation would be a Symphonic Line, naim for solid state and Octave if you want a tube integrated amp.But first you need to sort out some other things. Some small st... | |
| Integrated Amp for Focal 1027be speakers Not sure how good the DAC is of your Olive 4HD but maybe an amplifier with a good DAC could also be an option. Something like a Naim Supernait. Just an idea. I do not know if the combo would work but it might.Personally I am a bit of a fan of Symp... | |
| What’s hot in monitors from $2K to $3K in 2012? A pair of 2nd hand totem mani-2 | |
| phono amp +/- €1500 I might be able to get a good deal on a Roksan DXP reference. So for now that is at the top of my list. Now if only the person who is having my speakers on loan is willing to buy them. | |
| small companies making today's best products For me it is hard to what are big companies and what are the small ones beside the obvious ones like Sony, Marantz etc. What might be a small brand in one place can be big somewhere else. For example VanderSteen speakers a know brand in the US if ... |
