| Review: Primaluna Prologue 1 Tube amp A few months ago, I purchased the Prima Luna Prologue 2 (the 40 wpc, integrated KT88 tube based amp). I was replacing a NAD C320BEE that I was using in a secondary system with the Prologue Two and quite frankly, I was very impressed with the resul... | |
| Need help putting together a bedroom system I have probably spent more time putting together a bedroom system, as it will not only need to meet with some WAF factor, but it will probably be the system most used by your wife. The system should be straightforward ... as in 3 components at mos... | |
| Any chance of Neil Diamond sacds ? I have heard of no plans to put any of Neil's music on to SACD. But, if they were to consider re-mastering and SACD'ing Neil's work on the Bang; Uni; MCA; and Columbia labels ... that would be a more desireable event for me than putting the Beatle... | |
| Red Dog Tracks Jond:Hi. I guess my initial surprise was that Chip Taylor wrote "Angel in the Morning" all those years ago (at least 40) and here he is pairing up with a talent so much younger. I was also surprised they released a second album. There is a lot of ... | |
| Musical Fidelity Seperates v,s Plinius 8200 II int Kiwi:I just replaced the Musical Fidelity solid state power equipment in my main system with Prima Luna tube equipment. I originally had an A3 integrated that I replaced (after a year) with an A300 CR power amp and CD PRE 24 cd player/preamp combi... | |
| Best sounding SACD disc? My two particular favorites are:1. Blood Sweat & Tears (2nd album from 1968, often mistaken as the group's first album. This album was the first album with David Clayton Thomas as lead vocalist). 2. Mark O Connor ("In Full Swing") - jazz, most... | |
| Quality Steppenwolf CD's Arguably, Steppenwolf's best stuff was their early stuff. This recording Steppenwolf/Second is remastered, contains their first 2 CD's on one CD, and is available as an import for $25. If my memory is correct, their Live album from 30 years ago ... | |
| Am I missing something? Sks ...Sometimes you just come across the product that does it for you ... all that you need to do is to tell the voice inside of your head to keep quiet. Back in 2000, accessories4less,com was liquidating the entire line of the 1995 Acoustic Res... | |
| totem arro or rainmaker or von schweikert vr1 I have owned the NAD C320BEE for 2 years and felt that the best bookshelf matching it with it was the NHT SB2 ($400 list) or you could always upgrade to the NHT SB3 ($600 list). I have never cared much for the totem line (after extensive listeinin... | |
| Buget system idea? One additional point ... I thought that you were looking to scrap your current set-up and I pointed you in the way of a tube amp and high efficiency speakers. They have their own magic just like the Maggies do. If you do decide to keep your Maggie... | |
| Buget system idea? Mab:I have listed a system of new components, as I am extremely hesitant to purchase any components used. With that said, I have owned the components below for a while and they sound the best of any system that I have owned in the past 35 years. W... | |
| Checking out a co. called Better Cables I have owned a pair of their Silver Serpent interconnects (silver/copper hybrid) for 2 years, that I have used between my CD player and Amplifier and they perform wonderfully. They are actually pretty good cables for $90 ... a noticeably better pe... | |
| Man, am i losing my hearing? Slappy:Yo dude, I went through the same type of hearing problem when I was in my late 20's/early thirties. It seemed to be at its worst whenever dipthongs were used in a sentence (essentially, diphthongs are vowel combinations that can be both dif... | |
| Integrated Tube Amp For Soliloquy 5.0 Speakers Newbee:You are correct, the manual warns against treating the tube pins. I purchased the Prima Luna Prologue Two about 4 months ago and I have not been happier with any audio puchase in 35 years of spending 1/2 of my paycheck on audio stuff (I eve... | |
| Sugar in the tank? In general, you should be fine ... just don't drive the Onkyo 502 and its rather minor 55 wpc (at best) to the clipping (distortion) point. As HT receivers go, the basic Onkyo is a well made, well engineered little receiver (I owned its great gran... |
