| Prima Luna Integrated - EL34, KT88, KT150, Brimar AU - My experience Soundermn-Am I reading correctly-8@$550?Or do you mean 4?That's a great price for 8! The only thing I don't care for is now, the tube cage doesn't fit with the 150's. | |
| Prima Luna Integrated - EL34, KT88, KT150, Brimar AU - My experience As a long time owner of PL amps, always interested to read what others hear with different tubes.Like everything audio, a particular tube doesn't always have the same end result in a particular system.I have heard the KT150 many times. Nice, but 8... | |
| What DB level is best for judging audio equipment? You're 57 with hearing loss?I hope you you don't have extended listening sessions at that level.I'm the same age with hearing loss AND tinnitus.It's tough to NOT crank up great music, but your ears will thank you for not doing so. | |
| speaker plinths Other than it may look more aesthetically pleasing, I heard the Mapleshade planks under my floorstanders as a ZERO improvement. Perhaps if one's room had a questionable floor, it may help provide a solid foundation. When my room was redone with a ... | |
| SoundSmith Counter Intuitive for VPI tone arms "I’m not talking snug - I’m talking so hard that it’s difficult to keep the counterweight from moving."Larryrs- maybe some careful,lite work with fine sandpaper will loosen up the fit of the CI. | |
| Does it come down to the mastering quality only?? I gave up on reissues,unless it's something deemed unobtanium.A few ticks is acceptable over the sometimes "cd sound"of a "special reissue"How ones rig plays the subpar recording, is what it's about. Not long ago, I found the 1963, Kenny Burrell ... | |

| Which cable jlj-Razor sharp! "posts"was referring to more than one, so it's plural? I don't know. Most of the stuff I write, likely has grammar errors.You're killing in other threads, so I used "posts" Some of your references bring back bad, yet great 70/80... | |

| Hana SL vs AT Art 9 Agrippa's assessment lines up with my experience. I used the ART9. Heard the Hana several times in other setups.The 9 is more detailed and dynamic to my ears.The Hana is a nice cart, but for a few bucks more the ART9 may be worth the expense for ... | |
| Help me decide on my next cartridge (<$900) This question can go in a couple directions.Your equipment appears solid. A phonostage isn't listed, so an onboard?If you're eventually going to get "serious" about playing records, a proper phonostage will allow you to hear the potential of you... | |
| (Brutally) Honest Audio Reviews Just another review site with "experts." Nothing new here....yawn.It should however, add more perspective to help one make their own decision. | |
| Does my setup need a phono stage? "need" a phono stage?yes, an outboard unit will make noticeable improvement but, all relative to the entire setup.I would consider a used piece. For your amount,plenty of choices. That amount is equal to half the retail of a quite good unit. I wou... | |
