| Why do some think "music" (not gear, trading, etc.) is the ultimate end? @musicfan2349 It seems in your experience, you found something that was most important of all. I would really have loved to been in that room with you for that 2112 spin I'll tell ya. | |
| Why do some think "music" (not gear, trading, etc.) is the ultimate end? Here is my take on this issue.Ofcourse it's about the music.However, the gear that I buy is just a vessel to deliver that music in a way that elicits an emotional response.As a Harley Davidson Technician of 27 years I can draw some parellelsbetwee... | |
| DAC Choices - $5,000 to $7,000 @mitch2 That's interesting. I ran both of those DAC's through a Primaluna Dialogue Premium preamp.That's how I was able to A/B them in real time. They sound very similar other than the differences I listed.But thin sounding? Far from it. | |
| DAC Choices - $5,000 to $7,000 MitchYou say you like the natural sound of R2R DACs and you are looking for one in the $5K - $7K range?You have exactly that in the Adagio.I have the Pavane, same as the Adagio w/out the volume control.I had the Sonnet Morpheus for a while and A/B... | |
| Why is there no love for Prima Luna? "This is actually a thread in disguise to plug Prima Luna. Get the happy owners to come out and respond. Brilliant! I knew it was gonna go sideways reading the thread title."I can only share my experience as I own them and it so happens I'm happy ... | |
| Why is there no love for Prima Luna? No fan of the CCP and I'm sure all of you out there with your iPhones aren't either.That being said, I use Primaluna Dialogue Premium separates.I've haven't had one hiccup since I've owned them. Yes they're built like a tank. Have a look on Google... | |
| What s the best Class A integrated tube amp over 80W Primaluna Dialogue Premium HP 75w using EL34’s or higher wattage with KT88, KT120, or KT150. This amp can use all these tubes and their variants. The Primaluna EVO 400. Same as above. Plus these amps have and auto bias circuit for ease of use.Ultr... | |
| Buying a DAC when you can't try it first Since you mentioned interest in the Cambridge DAC magic why not look at the Cambridge Azur 851N. It's a streamer / DAC with Tidal, Qobuz, Spotify built in. Many digital inputs. You could decide to use its built in preamp or not.I had one connected... | |
| tough choices I wonder if the dealer suggested tri amping once he heard the budget was $100k. | |
| Most hyped turntable, tonearm, and cartridge? For me, if I had 10k to spend on a turntable and arm, I like the VPI Prime Signature with their Fat Boy gimbaled tonearm. (Just over 9k)I have a 1983 Technics SL 1200 MKII with a few of the KAB mods.It doesn't compare to my Super Prime Scout. | |
| Modern Bluegrass I've recently learned of a guy named Billy Strings. The guys picks a guitar like nobody's business. He's got solo and colaboration work on Qobuz which then suggests similar bluegrass groups underneath.Happy hunting | |
| Opinions wanted on cantilever alignment @tomic601 I didn't see a lambda version of the Kleos while shopping around. The issue with my cantilever is that it wasn't centered horizontally.If you look earlier in this thread Jonathan Carr explained what was going on with it. | |
| Opinions wanted on cantilever alignment Thank you everyone for contributing your thoughts to my question.A big thank you to Mr. Johnathan Carr for responding. I have much respect for and confidence in a company like this.I would like to note that my email to Lyra/Audioquest was answered... | |
| Opinions wanted on cantilever alignment "Surprised you didn't call Day One. That never would have made it out of the box with me".I hadn't had a cartridge with the cantilever exposed like this one until now. Also when deciding which cartridge I was going to buy I read up on different ca... | |
