How many use Vintage Hi-Fi systems?
Norman I agree 100%.  
How many use Vintage Hi-Fi systems?
I just don't see how a receiver can compete with a separate amp and preamp of high quality. Receivers were meant to do everything well and pack so much into one box. They aren't going to have the drive and punch of a separate amp and preamp when d... 
How many use Vintage Hi-Fi systems?
Norman I don't plan on selling the 8. They are hard to come by and built to the hilt.  I doubt it will sound near as well as the PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium integrated I have but I am going to have fun with it I can tell you that for sure. I have n... 
Primaluna Dialogue Premium or Dialogue Premium HP.
Call or email Kevin Deal at Upscale Audio. He's a straight shooter and an expert on each. I have the Premium and really like it. I would think the HP would have more slam and control as it uses 8 power tubes instead of a quad like my Premium.  
How many use Vintage Hi-Fi systems?
Norman I have it hooked up in a bedroom system at the moment and I will rotate it back into my main system soon and hook up the TT.  I was attracted to the Marantz line of receivers because I always heard they were the cats meow plus that awesome ...

Oblny,I still own 2 "vintage" Pioneer SX series receivers,  an SX1050 and an SX950,  along with a Marantz 2252b receiver.Out of these receivers which one do you prefer? I have a 2252B, Luxman R-1050 and a Sansui Model 8. Just curious if you prefer...

Mullard Reissue KT88
Some people just don't know how to enjoy a good thing when they see it lol. Maybe the light will flash in their heads one day and think ole Wolf knows how to appreciate the simple things in life.   
Primaluna amplifier Prologue vs Dialogue Anyone heard both? Worth it?
Read reviews and call Upscale Audio.  I'm sure Kevin or one of their staff will be able to answer your questions.  Also their website will plenty of information on each.  I have Dialogue Premium integrated and it's the best my system has ever soun... 
Mullard Reissue KT88
I have no idea whether the new version flashes upon start up but hopefully the NOS 12au7 does. They will be in the front 2 slots so maybe I'll get to see some fireworks haha.  Some people don’t appreciate the finer things in life do they Wolf  lol?  
Mullard Reissue KT88
Can't wait for my Mullards to "explode" lol.  Hopefully they will give me the sound I'm looking for.   
Mullard Reissue KT88
Lol of course your right.  Right?  Those are some good prices on the 120 and especially the 150.  I decided to keep the 120's and have some NOS Mullard 12au7  CV4003 on the way to richen up the midrange to offset the upper midrange energy the 120'... 
50 hours of research = 1 amp for Totem Sttaf
Most of us don't have the chance. Have you asked Totum their recommendations or what's on your list?   
50 hours of research = 1 amp for Totem Sttaf
Lots of opinions here. Have you contacted Totum or get a consensus of what manufacturer mates well?  A good tube amp with beefy power supplies will push them just fine IMO. I would think a cheaper SS amp may give a nice punch but isn't going to so...
