| Suggestions for an integrated upgrade please You're getting excellent suggestions on the integrated amps. Once you figure that out. Here are some additional suggestions: 1) as mentioned the 87db speakers may be veiling some of the timbre and detail. Think about getting something in the... | |
| It’s all a matter of degree All of the above...depends on which way the wind blows | |
| Sound Yes, I also try to fix as many of the sound issues with room treatment and speaker placement. With phono cartridge selection, you can also tweak a bit. Tube rolling has also helped. Luckily my Tannoys have high frequency energy adjustment pads tha... | |
| Primaluna? Every design is a compromise...Primaluna gets you close enough to the best but makes concessions to reliability. It's one of the reasons I went with this brand. After a bad experience with a Don Sachs Kootenay, I decided that I didn't need the dra... | |
| Primaluna? Primaluna has 'adaptive autobias'. So not at all the same thing. So many people here like to say autobias has been around forever. But it's not the same animal. Try putting a kt150 next to an el34 and every other kind of tube in between. Can't do... | |

| Primaluna? You’re gonna need to do better than that Don. Speaker terminals sticking out of the box means all the popcorn shifted to one side and the only thing protecting them were 2 pieces of cardboard. My point is that to hear an amp, it needs to actually... | |

| Primaluna? Also, I have the Primaluna power amp. I didn't get the integrated amp because I wanted a stepped volume pot...something a bit better than the Alps unit the that comes with the Primaluna integrated. The Alps pot is a good enough unit but I just wan... | |
| Primaluna? I have an EVO 400. During a very hot summer with the air conditioning broken, I turned off the amp then turned off the rest of the components. By mistake, I thought that I had forgotten to turn off the amp and I turned it back on again. Instead o... | |
| Anyone try modern 6sn7 Shuguang WE type vs NOS RCA,Ken Rad My Don Sachs preamp uses four 6sn7s. Don supplies them with Shuguang Treasure or WE6sn7plus tubes. He swears by them. On his website he describes the many 'holy grail' 6sn7s that he owns and then goes on to explain that the Shuguangs walk away f... | |
| Big Below 15k used that can play loud as heck You might want to consider preparing the room first. Big, heavy rug on a heavy felt mat will make the room feel acoustically sweeter...you may not need to go as big in the speakers. Get rid of all the hard reflective things and replace them with... | |
| Share albums where EVERY SINGLE song is good @rodcrownover2 I love that album by the refreshments! Was going to list that myself. One of the few albums where I put on a set of headphones at a music store and bought the CD. So great when you discover something yourself. I have 2 LP copies o... | |
