| What is they best album out there for showing off the sound quality of your system. @n80 thanks! I will check out Tracker and Two Against Nature. I'm with you that some of the Knopfler solo work is good, and some not so good. Steely Dan is always great! | |
| V. Morrison Moondance reissue vs 2nd press what is the fascination with digital on vinyl? Wow! Good find! I might have to do a little crate digging this weekend! :-) | |
| What is they best album out there for showing off the sound quality of your system. Last night we listened to Donald Fagan The Nightfly. Awesome! I have so many albums that sound fantastic, it's hard to pick one. Dire Straits - all of them - also come to mind. | |
| V. Morrison Moondance reissue vs 2nd press what is the fascination with digital on vinyl? I kind of wonder what's the fascination with reissues? I have about 1000 albums, and of those less than 20 are reissues. I find used vinyl in great shape that sounds great, even though it's 30 or more years old. I spend less this way, feel a b... | |
| PRIMA LUNA AMPLIFIERS +1 here. I had a Dialogue One for 4 years, and traded up to the Dialogue Premium HP. I've had that for 2 years, and it's staying. I've never had a failure of any kind, and the sound is amazing. If I were to sell it, I'd be buying up the Primal... | |
| Help me decide on phono preamp Hello, SJTM! I'm wondering how your comparison worked out? I did the same comparison last year, and it was a hands-down no-brainer - Chinook won by a mile! Did you have the same experience?To your question about tubes, I rolled in some Tungsram... | |
| Phonostage preamp HELP You moved from a high output cartridge to a low output one. Change the gain from 45 dB to 60 dB and you’ll be fine. I use the ART9, at 0.5 mv and it works great! If you still feel that isn’t enough (I doubt you will, given the 0.6 mv of your cart... | |
| Really...My favorite power tube is reissue that's not widely popular @jbhillerHaving both KT150 and 7581A, how would you compare the two sets? I have a Primaluna HP integrated, and you have peaked my interest. Would you give up the KT150s for the 7581As? | |
| Kids during audition - aaaaagh!! In my house, it's more of a social event than a "listening session". I think it's hard to get people into critical listening as a first step. In my room, there's a listening area with a selection of albums, and nearby is a pool table, fireplace ... | |
| Looking for speaker recommendations itzhak1969373 posts03-10-2019 10:59amThe PMC Twenty5.26’s are very good speakers but their low sensitivity (86db)required much more power than your April Music Aura can give.I suspect there is nothing wrong with your speakers they just deserve bet... | |
| How much difference will a phono stage upgrade make? chakster2,484 posts03-04-2019 9:56am You'll see that Kevin Deal highly recommends the Chinook with the Primaluna as a good match. Kevin Deal is a tube dealer, what else he can recommend? He also a dealer of Manley Lab. gearyes he does. He also sel... | |
| How much difference will a phono stage upgrade make? I would disagree with Leotis on this one. Sure, there is some small amount of distortion that tubes MAY add, but it's negligible. You'll see that Kevin Deal highly recommends the Chinook with the Primaluna as a good match. My experience is the ... | |
| How much difference will a phono stage upgrade make? By the way, I don't think Chinook is over the top for your setup. The Primaluna and the Chinook are a fantastic match, and will support what you have as well as many future upgrades. IMO, with these two components, you have a long term system. ... | |
| How much difference will a phono stage upgrade make? I have a Primaluna HP Integrated and Revel F208s. I did a big evaluation of phono stages a year ago (over a period of a year), and ended up with the Chinook. I had the PhonoBox DS in the house for evaluation, and this is my first-hand experience... | |
| What responsibility does a seller have to tell a customer an item has been serviced? @larry sometimes we just trade for something different. Just because I sell a car does not mean that there’s something wrong with it. Same with stereo stuff. I’ve traded, bought and sold plenty of stuff, and never once sold something that was in n... |
