PS AUDIO BHK SIGNATURE PRE AMP PROBLEM
Send the dealer an email tonight and follow up with a phone call on Monday. 
Looking to upgrade amp, need help.
french_fries....................................I listen to 95% rock and out of that 70% is Classic Rock. It all sounds fantastic on my system which certainly isn’t mid fi. Funny you mention CSN&Y, as I listened to Deja Vu on my VPI Prime Satu... 
Looking to upgrade amp, need help.
+1 for the Esoteric integrated.  Its a great deal.  You could also look at a Parasound Halo Integrated.  You should be able to pick up a used one for 1700-1800.00 or a new one for around 2200-2300.00.  I went from a Rogue Cronus Magnum 100wpc tube... 
Eminent Technology LFT-8b in Harry's system
Harry does  have a good ear. 
Can upgraded power cords help my setup?
The Pangea Ac9 SE MK2 sucked all the life out of my system, back they went to Audio Advisor.   
Fm tuner
Magnum Dynalab tuners pop up here every now and then.  Go for something like an MD-90 or above.  I own 2 different Magnum Dynalab tuners and I am extremely satisfied. 
Golden ear triton 1 vs tekton double impact speakers
gdhal.........I agree with you 100%.  I feel he is shilling for Tekton.  I tried a pair of their Pendragons 2 years ago at my home was very unimpressed.  I kept asking where is the bass?I think you and I are 5-6 weeks away to our GE References.  I... 
Any love for the Belles Aria or other recent Belles amplifier?
I also heard the Aria Monoblocks at Johnny R Audio Connection.  The system it  was in was quite modestly priced, but it put many much more expensive systems I have heard to shame.  Out of all the different systems Johnny R played for me, I was mos... 
Odyssey Kismet Reference series.
I am driving GE Triton 1 speakers, soon the Triton Reference and it sounded much better than the Magtech amp.  However, my speakers aren't power hungry panels and my speakers have a 1600 watt subwoofer amp in each cabinet. 
Odyssey Kismet Reference series.
I went from a Stratos Extreme+++ to the full Kismet stereo amp in the Stratos case.  There is quite a difference and well worth the upgrade price.  The bass goes much deeper, you can see more into the soundstage, there is an over all ease to the m... 
Who is the WORST Audio Shop?
pmiller115>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>See my thread further up regarding Natural Sound. 
Tube preamp with or without phono stage?
Rogue Audio RP-5,  It has tubes, a great mm/mc phono stage that is fully adjustable and many inputs and outputs.  IMHO, it is the best 3500.00 preamp out there. 
Anyone try KT150 in Primaluna Dialogue Premium HP
I noticed the same about the KT-120 tubes in a Rogue Cronus Magnum.  Switching to Svetlana EL34 tubes brought all the magic  without the etch and grain. 
Who is the WORST Audio Shop?
Natural Sound in Framingham, Ma.  I had been a customer since the late 70's, having bought a GAS amp, preamp, tuner and moving coil cartridge, Counterpoint in the 80's and Vandersteen speakers in the 90's.  I also brought a few friends in and they... 
Speaker match for PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium HP Integrated?
leotis.......................I will do just that.  Expect delivery of my Triton Reference to be mid July.
