| Manley chinook & low output mc’s @pipetowers, I saw a thread elsewhere saying that the Hana didn't get along with the Chinook. He had a video showing that every 10 to 15 seconds, there would be a "thump" sound coming from his speakers. He tried a lot of things, but ended up fig... | |
| Tekton custom grills I think "a glorified DIY'er with poor management skills" is a good way to put it. I had a set and tried them for two months. I also had a few other AGoners come over to check them out. Everyone liked them, but not enough to buy them. It took t... | |
| Brothers in Arms by Dire Straits Some good suggestions in here! I got a Clapton and JJ Cale live in San Diego today because of the comments above! Great stuff! Thanks! | |

| Am I dreaming? I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Primaluna. Their Dialogue HP integrated can be fitted with a phono input, which I've heard is very good. It's an extra $300. It has a headphone amp built in, is very flexible with tube rolling, and it sounds g... | |
| Ugraditus is calling....again. Phono stage? I was kind of in the same boat. Upgraded to the project phono box RS and it was great! Clean, clear, quiet, just good. But somehow a bit “dry” and maybe analytical. I put put in a chinook instead. Now it has a sort of wow factor. Still clean and ... | |
| Primaluna Dialogue poremium, Rogue Cronus Magnum II or Jolida 801...who can advise me? The Primaluna does have a headphone amp built in as well... as long as you go with the HP. | |
| Primaluna Dialogue poremium, Rogue Cronus Magnum II or Jolida 801...who can advise me? I'm on my second Primaluna. The first was a Dialogue One, and now I have an HP integrated. I've never had a moment of trouble, and love the sound. The One I had for four years, and the new one I've had for two. I did upgrade to the KT150s, and... | |
| B&W 801’s I think the bass is going to overpower the room. But, there's only one way to be sure! | |
| Pick A Tube Phono Preamp, but not just any Tube Phono Preamp I read too about the Ares, and in the Stereophile article 1/13/10, by Erick Lichte it stated " The preamp can be run in all-tube or hybrid tube/solid-state to allow it to work with any cartridge you might want to throw at it.I see the value in the... | |
| How much gain is needed in a Phono Preamp for a 0.2 to 0.3mv low output moving coil? I agree that 45db in the Chinook is plenty of gain for my 10x5. Sounds great! | |
| Pick A Tube Phono Preamp, but not just any Tube Phono Preamp I went down a similar path recently. I had a Jolida JD9 for years, and was pretty happy with it mated to my Primaluna HP integrated. When I got my 10x5, it became more obvious that the preamp is a little noisy with everything else I have. Here ... | |
| Is it possible to have a quiet vinyl records What is the condition of your stylus? I had a Blue Point #2 that was older, and probably well worn. I noticed it picked up noise quite often. I got a new cartridge, and it is much better. Could your cartridge be worn? Also check alignment. | |
| Critique my setup I have Primaluna Dialogue HP integrated, and just put the Manley Chinook in the mix. There is definite synergy with this setup. Something like the PL would be a better choice than your jolida. I agree that your speakers are probably not up to t... | |
| Gonna have to ditch the Soundsmith Carmen II Could it be your speakers? Especially with the "upgraded" tweeter, this could be part of the problem... in your small room. |
