| Home Audio Technician "...russ, I’m looking at Tuner 600..."Your volume rheostat is dirty, a common problem. A couple of blasts, a few turns of the knob and you’ll be good as new.EDIT: Not sure if you have a rheostat per say, new fangled stuff. But something is rotatin... | |

| B&W 800 D4's, Room size, & general Q's You have way more budget than you need. 801D4 matched to the very musical Musical Fidelity Nu-Vista 800 would be a great match. You wont get fancy blue meters but you will get great sound. Personally the MF New Vista is a giant statement that you ... | |

| PrimaLuna Evo 200 underwhelming The Prima Luna is all about midrange detail, so it’s the loudspeaker matchup that is not working. The Prima Luna can easily be matched to 10,000 dollar loudspeakers, you might want to think about giving your loudspeakers a good solid budget for up... | |
| PrimaLuna Evo 200 underwhelming I'm going to suggest maybe some bigger Tannoy speakers. Maybe with some Kimber PBJ or Timbre interconnects. It's not the amp, that amp can sound magical but not so great with small speakers. My little LS50s worked best with lots of solid state pow... | |
