| Primaluna Prologue One + Sonus Faber Toy Towers I am using the Prima Luna PL 5 power amp (similar specs to PL2 integrated) with Opera Plateau floorstanders and love the combination. Running EL 34 power tubes. Opera and Sonus Faber are voiced pretty similarly. I think you will be fine with the P... | |
| Tube in Preamp or Power amp? This topic comes up from time to time, so checking the archives may turn up opinions that will not come up in this discussion. Most go with tube preamps. I went the other route and went with a tube power amp. However you introduce tubes, once you ... | |

| Prima luna Owners - What Speakers are you using Hey Boccaccio,Is the PL CD player worth the $3k? Thanks, Rich | |
| Do you indulge when listening to your rig? Turkey Hill Diet Green Tea ... choices are a lot easier as my body can not tolerate the hard stuff. I would probably smoke a cigar, if I didn't have cats or furnishings or a wife as I don't want any of the three smelling like tobacco smoke.Rich | |
| Phillips no longer producing transports Not a big surprise ... right? There is no reason they can not do what Rega did with the Apollo and source their own transport mechanisms. There is always the re-purposed DVD mechanism route. Or there is my particular spin on this which is stockpil... | |
| XTZ 100.49??????? I have not heard the speakers. I own the XTZ CD player, Divine 100, which I purchased direct from the company. I dealt directly with the president who was a super, accommodating person to deal with. Product was sent from China to my apartment. I d... | |
| Best phono preamp for Project Carbon turntable I am using the Musical Fidelity X-LP with the Carbon TT and am enjoying it very much. It is mated with a Musical Fidelity CD PRE 24 preamp/ cd player and a Prima Luna PL 5 tube amp, so I may be benefitting from same brand synergy. The sound has go... | |
| New Mofi & Audio Fidelity CDs? The 3rd album, Four Way Street, was my favorite. CSNY's live performances were so explosive on that album. If you ever come across the Japanese CD pressing which came out in 1989/ 1990, it is worth picking up. It does not have the bonus material o... | |
| New Mofi & Audio Fidelity CDs? The trouble I had with 'CSN' was that it never represented for me the best music from CSN, CSN&Y, or the members' solo efforts. When CSN was first released in the late 70's, I remember feeling that the songs and harmonies were not as good as t... | |
| McIntosh MC240 Question Zd542 ... interesting. I would have thought the opposite ... that increasing the gain at the power amp level would sound cleaner as opposed to increasing gain at the preamp level, which would be one level further away from the power source. In a s... | |
| Hearing issue Go back to the ear doctor and get checked out again. Don't take chances ... it is your ears for Christ sakes. Sounds like fluid build up. Have you tried sleeping either on a wedge type pillow or propped up. This would allow for drainage or at leas... | |
| Why are Kitty Kat Revelators so invisible? The NHT Classic 3 are acoustic suspension speakers. This design of speaker operates well in near rear wall placement. Period. I am not sure if absolute flush placement is physically possible. My hunch is that clearance needed for speaker cable, es... | |
| My Music Hall CD 25 just died Correct me if I am wrong lads ... but, a mac mini, back-up drive, standalone DAC, front end like an iPad ... aren't we past the $1k point and actually close to $1.5k by now. And you have to buy new as used pc equipment is a crap shoot and a half.Rich | |
| How to defeat Pioneer DV-58AV auto power shut-off? I have the same thing with my XTZ CD-100. My thinking was this happened because the XTZ uses a modified DVD drive and not a CD only drive and this type of shut-off behavior was more of a dvd player thing. Can you just turn on your Pioneer player 2... |
