| Tekton Electon/DI compares to what? cordobaman7 posts09-18-2017 11:43amYep, not going to anticipate they'll ship that quick. According to Karma last week, she said Eric was just finalizing the new design with the 8" woofers. She also said they received three other orders in the coup... | |
| What sounds best: Vinyl or CDs Further research, I see the Debut Carbon Phono USB turntable has a built in preamp. If that is the one you have, then it does have a built in phono preamp, which should be a good match to the cartridge you had. I still suspect an issue with the p... | |
| What sounds best: Vinyl or CDs chipito OP2 posts08-18-2017 11:48amI upgraded my cart with noticeable improvement. TT has a built-in preamp so another separate preamp won't do unless I buy another TT.@Chipito, this is your problem. If you have the Project Debut Carbon, it does ... | |
| What sounds best: Vinyl or CDs I think there is a lot of senseless thread-jacking here. OPs question isn't what's better, cd or TT, and it's not "what's wrong with millennials". OP, you're asking what's wrong with your systemThe key thing OP says is that the volume is more sens... | |
| Amplification question - PrimaLuna Tubes vs. McIntosh Solid State I have the PL HP integrated. This Is my second PL, and for over five years now, I've had no problems and no need to replace tubes, except for the fun of tube rolling. In contrast to the comments above, you can have one power cord to cycle it all. ... | |
| Anyone try KT150 in Primaluna Dialogue Premium HP Thank you! I'm heading to my buddy's place this weekend. I'll see if he can help me make some sort of 1 inch riser for it. We will see how it goes! | |
| Anyone try KT150 in Primaluna Dialogue Premium HP Thanks for the insightful post! Since the OP, I have learned a thing or two, and the most important thing is that this HP Integrated is revealing of anything upstream! I started thinking that I may want to replace my heavily modified Jolida JD9 ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Yep, it’s all about the right marketing! Just look at the bottle water industry. In most cases, their product is inferior, but they sell like crazy!Thanks, jcarcopo! From what everyone says, I don’t expect DIs or other Tekton to sound bright. I wa... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hi, guys. Tekton the Shill (or just plain troll) aside, yeah, I’m still quite interested. I currently have B&W 803N, and I’m pretty happy with them. But, they are almost 20 years old, and I would like to consider something new. They can be a l... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts tekton6 posts06-25-2017 11:25amJust finished putting around 220hours of play time on my DIs. They sounded fantastic right out of the box but are AMAZING after the break in. Very very happy!!--------------I’ve read through this whole thread, and I ... | |
| recommendations of phono preamps < $3000 range I am currently going through a similar quest. I have a JD9 that is upgraded to include new opamps, Clarity ESA Caps, updated resistors, and tung sol tubes. I've rolled Mullard, Cifte, RCA Clear Tops, and others through it. It was upgraded by the ... | |
| Tube Integrated Amp to Drive Floorstanding Speakers? mjb, one other thing I’d say. I have used both the KT120s and the EL34s in my PL HP. After using them for a while, I moved back to the EL34s from the KT120s. The reason is that I notice a certain midrange "glare" that's most noticable on vocals wi... | |
| Tube Integrated Amp to Drive Floorstanding Speakers? mjb, I can share my experience. I have B&W 803N speakers, which have 89db sensitivity (I think), and are known to be "difficult to drive" and not "tube friendly". I had a Primaluna Dialogue One Integrated Amp (38wpc) running them for three y... | |
| Anyone try KT150 in Primaluna Dialogue Premium HP Thanks! The Primalunas are all able to use KT150s, except the Prologue Classic, I think. I am certain that the Dialogues can use KT150. Sam and KDude, thanks for your comments! Very helpful! Interesting that Sam had the same experience I did ... | |
| Considering switching from Audio Research to PrimaLuna, troube with VS115 amp This is a really interesting discussion. I am in Minnesota, so ARC is a local company. They are well represented in the area by some big dealers. I’ve heard so many good things about the sound quality, but haven’t really auditioned them due to the... |
