| Quick question about PrimaLuna Prologue Two I did replace the 12AX7 and 12AU7 with NOS Mullard and Sylvania as per Kevin Deal's recommendation for the PL2. For the PL5, I went with new production Groove Tube 12AX7 and EH 12AU7. I like both set-ups.Regards, Rich | |

| tube burnout How long do you allow your pre to warm up before you start listening? I was running through tubes (6550 & KT88) in my Prima Luna amps at an alarming rate, until I started to let the amps warm up for a half hour or so. Regards, Rich | |
| Best Budget 2 Channel?? Music Hall a25.2 or Outlaw I use the Outlaw in a bedroom system with a Cambridge Audio Azur 540 DVD player and Rega Ara monitors. I went with the Outlaw because I needed a tuner in the system. The tuner is very quiet and sensitive. With that said, the Outlaw has an excellen... | |
| Newbie amp help......why? It sounds like your question may be ... why do I need a separate amp, if I already have a receiver? The answer is that you don't. If you like the music that it is coming from your present set-up, don't change a thing. The parts of the reproduction... | |
