| Sending a 110 lb amp to the manufacturer for cleaning/calibration. Good idea? How to ship? I use a "white glove" service that's picked up and delivered expensive/delicate/irreplaceable gear (mostly musical instruments and art) all over the country with nary a second's worry or a minute's lost sleep. I wouldn't do it any other way. PM ... | |
| My journey to find a speaker + amp + setup for classical music (piano) Others here have far more experience (and probably better ears) than I do, but I'm listening to a lot of piano with Fritz Carbon 6s and a Primaluna Evo 100 integrated, VERY happy camper! | |
| amazing video about listening, in a very special heartfelt way. Amazing! Thanks for posting! | |
| HELP! Large speakers fell over during shipping. Artisan Shipping in NY has brought expensive delicate musical instruments to me from all over the country. I can't imagine the size and weight of these speakers would be an issue, and his pricing is comparable to motor freight, especially if the ... | |
| Paying with a cashiers check? Need advice! Going in the other direction, it's unwise to take a cashier's check and ship merchandise immediately. There are fakes out there, and your bank has no liability. One of the members of another forum I frequent took a cashier's check for a musical ... | |
| Bookshelf speakers for small room Another vote for Fritz speakers. He makes a compact (7.5" x 13" x 11.5"d) series that sound great - I couldn't be happier! | |
| Are your current amps and other gear the best you've ever had? There's some past gear I miss, but, yeah, my system's far better than anything previous. I don't see evolving further - it would be hard to imagine a greater degree of involvement and enjoyment than I'm currently enjoying. | |
| New Audiophile going crazy Sorry. No known cure. | |
| Looking for a tube Preamp new or used for under $2000... Another vote for PrimaLuna. Incredible at the price! | |
| Craigslist Fraud Sorry this happened to you. I'm a CL regular, and do a lot of out-of-area deals, mostly as a buyer. It's experiences like this that make a lot of sellers resistant to even considering what I have to offer. I give my phone number (and urge them t... | |
| Recommendation for a replacement speaker cable I'm running Bluejeans Canare 4S11 on recommendation of my speaker builder (Fritz Carbon 6), PrimaLuna tube integrated. Couldn't be happier. | |
| Why is there no love for Prima Luna? I'm hardly an expert, but picked up a Prologue 2 integrated about a month ago and couldn't be happier. I'm currently running Fritz Carbon 6s and Soliloquy 5.3s (auditioning the Fritz, so the sets are rotating in and out of the system), and the a... | |
| I sold a CAL Aria Tube CD player and buyer claims a burning smell Just my $.02, but with the few unhappy buyers I've come across, I send a prepaid return tag and pay both sides of the shipping. It's a small price to pay for the goodwill, and keeps your karma clean. Make them happy and move on.Though one can as... |
