| What will audiophiles do Different? Hahaha. I've been with my partner 10 years (and we're not married). Somehow she has been ok with all the equipment crowding the apartment.My answer: Nothing. | |
| Primaluna EVO 300/400 Preamplifier owners - let's hear from you Where are all the Primaluna Preamp owners at?Anyway, as I mentioned before I am tempted to pair one of their preamps with a Pass XA25. Another idea is just going Luxman Integrated (590AX II). Very tough decision! The goal would be to take a little... | |
| What integrated should I upgrade to? Nah...lots of movies have good music and sound production in them. A stereo setup for movies is pretty nice in my opinion. Plus you get all the detail, nuance from spookier scenes (like in the movie Hereditary) and the impact of explosions and the... | |
| Looking to upgrade to Class A/B Integrated DAC Amp You can add these to the list. I do like the Hegel personallyNaim Uniti Nova (this or the Hegel would probably be my top choices)Ayre EX-8 | |
| Anyone heard Schiit's Aegir? Anyone else got a pair of Aegirs in monoblock configuration? Curious to hear what amp you came from you what you are hearing the with Schiits. | |
| 2k to 4k Streaming DAC For streamer DAC under 4K I would look at the Lumin D2 as well. | |
| Greater knowledge of Agon community for streamer/pre-amp solution I think you’re going to need two boxes minimum to achieve all of that. The Naim NDX 2 comes pretty close but doesn’t have the phono input. Also look at Ayre QX-5 and Lumin S1, U1. | |
| PRIMA LUNA AMPLIFIERS Thanks for your comments. This is super helpful! | |
| Luxman 590axii vs Pass Labs int 60 Anyone here using an external Preamp with the Luxman 590AX II? I'm curious how good the built in preamp is. I'm wondering what a good Tube pre would do to the sound. Maybe too lush?? | |
| PRIMA LUNA AMPLIFIERS There is a switch on the side for low and high output tubes. EL34 being low output, and KT120, KT150 etc. are considered high output. Put the new tubes in, flip the switch and you've got like 30 more watts to play with. But really the watts don't ... | |
| PRIMA LUNA AMPLIFIERS This review with KT150s of the Dialogue Premium says the cage cannot be closed using KT150s. https://www.hifi-advice.com/blog/review/analog-reviews/amplifier-reviews/primaluna-dialogue-premium-tube-rolling-part-1/ | |
| PRIMA LUNA AMPLIFIERS @ksubrama1I think I read somewhere that the cage won't close with KT150s, but I cannot confirm this.Slightly off topic, but how does the EVO 400 work as a daily driver? How fine are the volume adjustments via remote? | |
| Primaluna EVO 300/400 Preamplifier owners - let's hear from you I've got a pair of Spendor D7. I've read that the Primaluna preamps definitely are on the warmer side of neutral. Go look at the Stereophile and Tone Audio reviews for confirmation.As for Supratek - I'm just not into how they look. The chrome and ... | |
| Luxman vs Pass Labs @builderYou are right about that. I guess I should be on the lookout for a used M-800A. I wonder how it compares to the M900u? | |
| Primaluna EVO 300/400 Preamplifier owners - let's hear from you Yeah I was looking there as well. Only upscale audio videos, which are good for what they are. But I would rather hear from owners and not sales people, no offense to Kevin.Although not the original intention of my post, I'm looking to pair a Tube... |
