| Primaluna Dialogue 2 Anyone out there? | |
| Why Do We Use Preamps? I have gone both the passive and the active route. In theory, your are correct that a passive should give greater purity and transparency. And I do hear that with a passive, but I also think it comes at a cost. The music loses some oomph, weight, ... | |
| Opinions on Primaluna Dialogue 5 I am currently running an EE Minimax into the amp section of my PL Dialogue 2. This is a superb combo, much better than using the entire D2 integrated. Speakers are Soloilquy 6.2 I usually own much more expensive separates, but the times have forc... | |
| Are VPI tables considered musical and involving? Let me amend and clarify my original query.I don't mean the table alone.I mean the entire VPI setup: table + armI've been at this game for a long time and am an experienced gear head, just not so much with analog.

| Air Tight ATC-1 tube questions No one?? Preamp is more rare than I thought! | |
| Which is the most tubelike solid state amp around I second the Redgum rec made earlier. I'm a confirmed tube-o-holic, and very few SS amps can hold my attention. I have owned the 35wpc and 120wpc integrateds and they are excellent. Their sound is smooth, refined, palpable, detailed, and most impo... | |

They err on the side of warmth and musicality, but are still quite resolving and detailed. With the adjustable bass, they offer good flexibility for fitting them int... | |
| KT-88's better than EH ... correction....on Ebay, if you search on "kt88sc" you will find the tubes I referenced above. It looks like he puts up 2 pair at a time, and sells with BIN only. | |
| KT-88's better than EH ... Recently there has been a seller on ebay with these solid plate Shuguang kt88sc. I emailed him the Penta link and inquired whether his are the same tubes. He confirmed they were. His handle is "thenidge".His BIN price for a pair has ranged from 42... | |
| Juicy Music Preamps Peter: My experience w break-in.......Right out of the box my BB Xtreme was excellent. You will get a good dose of its character and ultimate sound right from the outset. Certainly not unlistenable like some non-burned gear I've owned. It just get... | |
