| Seems like a lot of folks are putting their Primaluna amps for sale... I have a PrimaLuna DiaLogue premier HP and couldn't be happier with it. Pairs very well with my Focal Utopia Diablo III's . . . a great combo! If you're not into fussing with tubes, this is a great amp and sounds great! | |
| Fairly new to streaming. Where to start? I went through the same thing a few years ago (I love the Theta Miles CD player, FYI . . . mine got lost in a move somehow, :( ). I highly recommend the Naim NDX, which is an excellent DAC/Streamer and performs really well. Another thing that I r... | |
| Speaker cable recommendations in my budget When there is a sale, which is almost always, Morrow Audio has good speaker cables relatively inexpensive at the low end. Remember that the less resolving the system, the less you will notice any change in speaker wire. | |
| Pure Class A SS vs Tube Amp I second the Plinius recommendation for an excellent SS amp that plays in both Class A and AB (switchable). My SA100 MkIII was fully upgraded by Vince Galbo, with new caps and various other things. It is a phenomenal sounding warm amp with the c... | |
| Tube integrated for Joseph Audio Rm25xl's I have a PrimaLuna Premier HP that I use with my Joseph Audio Pulsars, and the amp is fantastic. All of the tube goodness with none of the hassle (other than having to turn the amp on and off when you use it, unlike my Plinius amp which I can just... | |
| What is they best album out there for showing off the sound quality of your system. I’m a jazz and classic rock guy. Very few classic rock albums make the testing cut, although Dark Side of the Moon is one of my go-to test albums. Also Hot Tuna Live at the New Orleans House Berkeley. But for real critical listening to test new... | |
| Most annoying song, period. Miracles - Jefferson "Starship". Every time I hear that song I want to barf, thinking about how a great, indeed, revolutionary band, could sink so low. | |
| Remasters - are they better? What exactly is it? On some albums, I have 6+ different versions. DSOTM comes to mind, where I have the Black Triangle CD, the Sony Mastersound. the regular CD, MoFi vinyl digitized 24/96, the 1992 remaster, the 2011 remaster, the UHQR 180 gr vinyl digitized . . . it... | |
| I need some turntable guidance @br3098, LOL! turntables can be like girlfriends! Great analogy! :). The expensive ones are usually much higher maintenance. The cheap ones don't necessarily perform as well, but are probably more reliable!@Elizabeth, great advice. Having grow... | |
| How important is a preamp for purely digital sources? I have an MSB Analog DAC with a "stepped attenuation" volume control and power base, coupled with a PrimaLuna DiaLogue Premier HP. I think that the combo sounds great and replaced my very excellent and modified Plinius pre. Seems to me that logi... | |
| TRL WON'T GIVE ME MY AMP I am an attorney. Here is some free legal advice. Forget about district attorneys and Attorneys General. They will not give a hoot about this case, unless possibly they have many complaints coming in such that it appears to be a scam. And even... | |
| Ric Ocasek found dead. I grew up in Boston in the '70's and hung out with Ric and drummer David Robinson at the record company table at the Paradise on occasion in '78-80, when we would go to see up and coming acts, like the Police, the Pretenders, the B-52's, etc. We h... | |
| Your favorite Small Apartment Speakers I have Focal Utopia Diablo III's in a small room with a REL subwoofer and they lack for nothing, especially when driven by my PrimaLuna DiaLogue Premier HP amp. Maybe you need to simply get a subwoofer for your system if you want more bass. | |
| Buyer is claiming damage that was done by him! Unfortunately, some times there is nothing you can do, other than as one comment suggested, taking pictures of the item with all internal packing visible, prior to closing the exterior box. As the seller, unless otherwise provided in your ad, you... | |
| Is there any Streamer/DAC/Preamp good enough to replace a dedicated standalone preamp? I use an MSB Analog DAC with a Renderer 2 module and volume control and eliminated my excellent Plinius preamp. Sounds fantastic, but even used, the MSB is pretty pricey, especially when you add in the new Renderer 2 module. |
