| What’s your latest high-end audio purchase? It’s all about the entire system…. I just sold my PrimaLuna Dialogue HP Premium integrated amp and replaced it with the Krell K300i. For driving my XStatic electrostats this is a much better combination. I’ve got nothing bad to say about the P... | |
| Looking for Speaker Recommendations Just to throw it out there, have you considered open baffle designs such as the Spatial Audio? Their X3, X4, and X5 are excellent speakers and very reasonably priced. Open baffle designs are generally easier to place in rooms and because they ... | |
| Looking for good recordings of female vocals I have not yet tried... Roberta Flack, “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face”, on the album Fist Take. Simply breathtaking. | |

| My last Integrated Amp: $5-10,000? I have a Krell K300i with the integrated DAC and I love this amp! However I use an Audio Mirror Tubadour III SE for my music DAC as that combination is magical. The Krell has great power and I understand the first 92watts are Class A. The weak... | |
| Wow....just look at this guy's car audio..... I don’t see any room treatments… | |
| recommended speaker cables and interconnects Well, trust your ears…. I had expensive Chord Company Epic Twin cables and thought they were very good in my system - which they were. But then I tried GR-Research 24pr cables that blew them away at 25% of the price. Again this was all in my... | |

SET, PP, etc. what works best for your speakers and source? Can you try both in your rig? Trust you... | |
| Bluesound Node 2021 DAC - I sold my Denafrips Ares II Excellent outcome. Other people’s opinions matter not. Only your ears matter. Trust them. Congratulations! | |
| Primaluna? Until last weekend I owned a Primaluna Dialogue HP Premium Integrated amp. Last Thursday my Audio Dealer, www.OlsonHiFi.com, lent me a Krell K300i to test against my PL. I really liked the PL. I had rolled tubes, SR Orange fuse, etc. In my... | |
| China built tube amps Wow, I think we are all missing the essence of music reproduction. It’s not where it’s made, or the circuitry, or the name on the faceplate. It’s all about the music and service (to keep it sounding great). I’ve had great and bad experiences... | |

| SOTA NOVA, HR-X VPI, Technics 1200G recommendations? I owned the SOTA Sapphire, V1. Hands down the best table I’ve ever owned. You could do nuclear testing in the room and that table never missed a beat. It was as close to flawless as I’ve seen. I don’t know about their current products, but... | |
