| Changes or improvements of sound quality from Mullards CV4003?? Thank you for the testimonials. Does it make any difference if the tube has been cryogenically treated?? ( Not sure what that is, unless it is to preserve those who starred in the that film: "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids" .(LOL) It was mentioned b... | |
| Ayon's "Scorpio" tube imtegrated amp vs PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium tube integrated??. To those in this thread who have endorsed Prima Luna's Prologue Premier, or the Dialogue Premier. I would like to know the following: Have you encountered RF interference or picking up AM/FM broadcasting??Will an outboard phono box to accommod... | |
| Ayon's "Scorpio" tube imtegrated amp vs PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium tube integrated??. Al,, Thank you again for the technical info and advice..... Jim.Also, Thanks to those other members who own Prima Luna integrated amp for their testimonials. | |
| Ayon's "Scorpio" tube imtegrated amp vs PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium tube integrated??. AL, Thanks for the heads up link to the other thread. I might be a numbskull in some areas of audio, but would not use a PL or any amp to drive a speaker like GET Triton 2 which has amps built in, and I assume drives the full range of the speaker... | |
| Ayon's "Scorpio" tube imtegrated amp vs PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium tube integrated??. I wish it was a "no-brainer" choice., but there is 8.% sales tax in California, and I think Upscale is not into discounting. Calculated on the retail price of Prologue Premium amp of $2399, the tax is $192.00, and so brings the total to nearly $2... | |
| Ayon's "Scorpio" tube imtegrated amp vs PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium tube integrated??. Thank you both for the responses; they were very helpful. One correction I need to make. The Prima Luna integrated is the Prologue Premium issued in 2011, not the Dialogue Series. It received very good reviews, and supposedly, the amp is that J... | |
| Sgt. Pepper's. remastered Mobile Fidelity To Lowrider, Yes, you are correct "overextended" highs. However, by your comment,it seems like you have bought other Japanese pressing of the Beatles or possibly others, and they are better. BTW, even if the dynamics are outstanding and there is m... | |
| What vintage speaker might you use today To Bdp24, I am not a hi-fi historian, but may become one if keep asking about the so called vintage stuff. You are right,I must be as old as you at 68. I fondly remember hearing the ESS Translinear speaker and the Transtatic and was blow away to u... | |
| What vintage speaker might you use today TO ALL WHO HAVE ASK FOR CLARIFICATION. By vintage, I am generally referring to speakers from roughly 1965 to 1989. I did not want to use the word "Old" so as not to flush out any speaker. I should have added the word "venerable" to identify for us... | |
| Looking for integrated better than my Rogue Sphinx To Lowrider, I used to know much more about the advantages of a high current amp and high damping factor. I am NOT sure they are related. My understanding is that high current amps produce a stable output of power that is coherent across the amp's... | |
| Looking for integrated better than my Rogue Sphinx To Dweller, I definitely will check out if there are any BAT 300 SE available on AG, or possibly E-bay, and will precede from there,if I think the price is right, and the cap upgrade is reasonable. Fortunately,In SoCal, there is Upscale Audio whic... | |
| Looking for integrated better than my Rogue Sphinx To Mr M. One of the two Rogue Pharoahs had pre-amp or output stage tubes changed. I believe the the seller is the second owner, and praised the sound improvement, I guess he previously heard the standard version. I am not sure who made the tubes, ... | |
| Looking for integrated better than my Rogue Sphinx To Samac, What magazine was this comparative review?? I did see a review of the Arcam A-19 in the last issue of either TAS or Stereophile. Is this the review?? If not, please send me the link to that review Thanks, JimTo Plato, I came very close t... | |
| Reference 3A DECapo "BE" spk a major upgrade?? TO Analogluvr Thank you for the comments and recommendation of the De Capo's which would make good sense if they were not so much more than the Golden Ear Technology Model 7. As you probably know, buying speakers can be somewhat of crap shoot. Wha... | |
| Reference 3A DECapo "BE" spk a major upgrade?? Tubegroover. Thank you for the comments; they are very helpful and useful. I recently communicated with Reference about dealers in SoCal area, but they have none, but offer a thirty day in home trial. That is nice, but if you return the speakers t... |
