| Harbeth P3 vs KEF LS50W Good choice! I have had both the P3s and the KEF LS50 and far preferred the Harbeths. Different sounds for sure, and I can see others preferring the KEF. Any of the British integrated amps would be excellent with the Harbeths.@fjn04 makes a gre... | |
| Any love for the Belles Aria or other recent Belles amplifier? I was also in the minority in not being wowed by the Belles Aria. Of course, everything is system dependent, and I was comparing it to a Bryston B100sst integrated. The Belles just sounded small and thin compared to the Bryston. Perhaps it need... | |
| VPI 2nd Pivot for 3D Until I found this thread I wasn't even aware of this mod. Just ordered mine and will report back on my experiences with it. I haven't really had too much trouble with the unipivot, but the comments I've found suggest that the other pivot is a b... | |

| Has anyone compared K150 tubes and the stock EL34s in Primaluna integrated/amplifiers? @sqlsavior Good point! My comparisons were done in ultralinear mode. | |
| VPI 2nd Pivot for 3D Where did you purchase the 2nd pivot? Looks like a great idea! | |
| Has anyone compared K150 tubes and the stock EL34s in Primaluna integrated/amplifiers? I just realized that I hadn't followed up. The KT150s are really amazing. I have been using them for a few weeks, and I just keep smiling. They provided both power and finesse with a great soundstage. Nice bass, and an amazing midrange. Very ... | |
| Jena Labs cables simply amazing!! Got my Symphony a couple of days ago, and it is fantastic. Quick question - is the cable directional? I bought it used, so no literature came with it.thanks, Scott | |
| Jena Labs cables simply amazing!! I have the Symphony coming next week. Can't wait! | |
| Anyone try KT150 in Primaluna Dialogue Premium HP Yes! I HIGHLY recommend the KT150s in the Primaluna. I have the Dialogue HP integrated, and I really liked it with both the stock EL34s and some Tung Sol EL34Bs. However, my speakers are only 86db sensitivity (Harbeth C7s), so I decided to spri... | |
| Review: Acoustic Zen Absolute Copper Interconnect Since you're having the issue with the power cables, it might be related to the quality of your power, emf interference, or some other related issue. I recently tried an inexpensive little DC blocker, and it eliminated nearly all of the harshness... | |
| Parasound vs Primaluna vs Alternatives I find the Primaluna Dialogue HP integrated to be phenomenal. It was already the best I'd heard in my system, and then I swapped in some NOS tubes...WOW! | |
| Lehmann Black Cube SE II or Manley Chinook? At that price point, I would highly recommend the Rogue Ares. I found it to be superior to the Manley and the Lehmann. Best, Scott | |
| Has anyone compared K150 tubes and the stock EL34s in Primaluna integrated/amplifiers? Timely discussion for me. I recently purchased a the Dialogue Premium HP Integrated, and I'm thrilled with the sound quality of the stock tubes. It's also the quietest amp I've ever had in my system. I just ordered the KT150s and NOS 12au7 Mulla... | |
| Speaker match for PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium HP Integrated? @aniwolfe I double-checked the reviews, and the HP integrated does not seem to have the issues cited in the previous thread. The Dialogue Premium amp has the issues (not the HP, it appears that the HP amp has not been reviewed by Stereophile):http... |
