| Stereo systems are like Harleys As a certified H-D technician of over 27 years and being raised around them I will agree to a certain extent that owning a Harley is like owning audio gear. The obsession part of it anyway.What I don't see is a guy go out and buy a McIntosh amp an... | |
| Can the top end of a PrimaLuna Evo integrated be tamed w/tube rolling? To reinforce what @jjss49 saidI find Primaluna to be nothing like the OP is describing. Of course EVERTHING is system dependant.That being said, I use silver wire throughout. I have also changed all the stock tubes out for NOS.The 2 center 12AU7 i... | |
| My really dumb tube mistake(s) Being fairly new to tubes and dealing with 2 reputable guys in the NOS tube business, I’ve had very good luck thus far until the other day. I got some 1958 Mullard 12AU7 long plates several months back that I put in my Primaluna Dialogue Premium p... | |
| Back to vinyl need phono stage help! @jimfinn2112. Porcupine tree to Loreena Mckinnet.Hmmm.... Wouldn't have been my first guess. | |
| Audio Research VT80SE amp vs Prima Luna EVO 400 or 300 @ps Don't hesitate to try different 12AU7 tubes and their variants in the two front center positions on the integrated. They will change the sound characteristics more than any other tube swap.Although I also changed my power tubes to NOS Mullard ... | |
| Remarkably better sound possible with just 1 system component change? Upgrade the Lumin D2.I don't think it's on par with the rest of your system.Lumin X1 would be though | |
| Why do people care what their speaker wants? I agree with MC to a point.I think the exception would be amp suggestions for hard to drive speakers such as Maggie's.I see (read) a lot about the fact that that it takes current to run them properly. That would be a speaker that I would ask the f... | |
| Audio Research VT80SE amp vs Prima Luna EVO 400 or 300 @ps If your preamp doesn't have XLR output you could consider a PL Dialogue Premium HP used instead of the Evo 400 with plenty of money left over to try different 12AU7's in the center position of the amp to dial that sound you and the golden eare... | |
| Can anybody be a speaker designer? " anybody can be a speaker designer"" it requires no qualifications"" there's no right or wrong way to do it""It can potentially make you rich"Oh this is a joke (troll)I don't see how this benefits the audio community. | |
| Audio Research VT80SE amp vs Prima Luna EVO 400 or 300 I agree with @jjss49 about the sound signatures of both amps.One thing to consider is the VT80 SE comes with KT150 power tubes, the PL with EL34’s. The PL can also use KT150’s with the flick of a switch.Using KT150 change the PL from romantic to m... | |
| Innuos Zenith mk3 complete disappointment @in_shore Not wrapped up in anything hi-fi guy or any other reviewer or YouTube channel has to say as I have already mentioned.I don't subscribe to the channel either but I have seen some of his videos and I point this out only because he takes on... | |
| Innuos Zenith mk3 complete disappointment @antigrunge2 I suggest you go re-read my post about not over paying for products that value doesnt equal price instead of telling me what I should do. | |
| Why so many angry audiophiles? @sojourn98 If you are asking me my answer is, it doesn't matter here on this forum.Maybe re-read my post.That's IF you were asking me | |
| Innuos Zenith mk3 complete disappointment @in_shore I could listen to it after I build it for a FRACTION of the cost. That’s my point. I don't get wrapped up in what "reviewers" have to say about a product. Im looking at what's in the box and the cost of those parts that are available for... | |
| What ever happened to.... @stereo5,Are you saying you used the VPI brick to hold you lightweight DAC on the shelf.Not ball busting here, but wouldn't any brick hold it in place?I've seen those and wondered what they actually did. |
