Has anyone compared K150 tubes and the stock EL34s in Primaluna integrated/amplifiers?
samzx12,I'm curious with your opinion concerning GL KT88 vs the KT77. I tried the KT120 and found them a bit glaring. I too, like aniwolfe, am using KT77 with Cifte tubes in my PL Dialogue Premium which sound wonderful. I'm using Cifte in the firs... 
Best Subwoofer Connection
Since my Primaluna integrated amp only has 1 pre-out for a sub, I run my Lawrence Violin speakers at full range. My speaker dealer suggested I set the cross-over at 45hz on my E-110. Besides the cross-over setting, it's important to set the phase ... 
Pass Labs INT 60 VS. Primaluna Dialogue Premium HP VS. Arcam A49
I too agree with the above responses. Over the past 40 years I've also owned many great sounding SS amps including Pass, Classe, Modwright and Hegel. On a whim I bought the PL Dialogue Premium about 2 years ago and my system came alive. The sound ...

Have you tried levels 1 or 2? I'm wondering if the Blacks are comparable to a level 1.

Adding a 2nd Sub to a 2 Channel System
Al,Thanks for the technical aspect of adding a 2nd sub. I didn't think of a possible impedance issue so I'll contact PL as suggested. Thanks, Ron 
Upgrade Primaluna Dialogue 2 to Dialogue Premium
Brian,After a year I couldn't be more happier with the Premium especially with KT-77 and Cifte tubes recommended by Kevin. The Premium with these tubes have a beautiful midrange and the best soundstage and holographic sound I ever had in the 40+ y... 
Synergistic Research HFT's
Well I received both the 10 pack of HFTs and the FEQ and did some serious listening with various genre.First I removed the acoustic panels from the front and side reflection points and listened so there wouldn’t be any interference. I then install... 
Synergistic Research HFT's
David,Thanks for your response. How much did you change the original locations of the HFTs and what kind of sound difference did it make.Ron 
Synergistic Research HFT's
I just ordered a 10 pack of HFT and I'm wondering if I should order a FEQ also since both are on a 30 day trial basis. I've read the reviews and it seems both work well together. Has anyone tried both together and then removed either the FEQ or th... 
Dac Suggestions for Rega System
If you like the Rega's sound I suggest you buy it unless you are willing to spend more money. I've tried at least 5 different dacs under $2k since owning the original Rega dac and I couldn't find one that made a significant difference that appeale...

What's so great is the ability to tweak our systems that makes our hobby so interesting plus have forums like this so we can share our ideas and experiences. Ron

A few weeks ago I gave the SR Black fuses high praises in this forum. I replaced the stock fuses in my Primaluna Dialogue Premium Integrated tube amp and Hegel HD 25 Dac  and was impressed with the sonic improvement on both hi-rez files and ripped...
