Primaluna Prologue vs. Dialogue
bornac-the PL distributor@Upscale Audio  will give you solid info to your query.i found  upgrading from the PL Prologue series to the Dialogue Premium well worth the extra expense.Since you mentioned the ARC VSI75, thus thread may be of interest t... 
How important is component “aesthetics” to you?

Dynavector 20x2 vs Audio Technica ART-9.
Maybe if this were a car forum-what handles curves better, Ferrari or  77' Buick Regal?https://images.search.yahoo.com/images/view;_ylt=AwrTcXLzDdFZkf4An.SKnIlQ;_ylu=X3oDMTIzNjNmMnJsBHNlY... 
How important is component “aesthetics” to you?
My listening session would never include staring at speakers that aren't up to snuff in the aesthetics department. I find it offensive to see plastic bits on $5K+speakers  and gear.Speaking of aesthetics, some of those system pics in the gallery a... 
Dynavector 20x2 vs Audio Technica ART-9.
"too polite for harder hitting genres"I guess that could be up for debate also...I listen to many styles and made sure to play my beloved early Zep and Pink Floyd's DSOTM.Being a couple of years back, I recall the difference as hearing subtle pass... 
Dynavector 20x2 vs Audio Technica ART-9.
Everyone's "better" will be different. I do, however use the ART 9 and tried the DV on my table. Both are good carts. "Better" is subjective. I hear the ART 9 as a little more convincing/realistic on my VPI Classic. The next person responding will...

PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium Preamplifier. DESTROYS SPEAKERS!!
"Back in the day (and maybe still), rockers would intentionally take various sharp or blunt instruments to their speaker cones, too. Don’t know of many audio geeks who are doing that to their speakers. Although too many seem to allow their kids an... 
PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium Preamplifier. DESTROYS SPEAKERS!!
thorloki-very unfortunate event. Were  the units  serviced under warranty?I too, would be LIVID and would not encourage anyone to use whatever brand.As a PL user however, sounds like a rare incident. I've had nothing but  many trouble free years w... 
Why are tweeters so high off of the ground in many tower speakers...
Late to the discussion here. I took a look at your fine setup. Very nice.Your room doesn't look like it wouldn't  work, but have you ever tried the Cardas setup?http://www.cardas.com/room_setup_calculators.php YMMVNot a wife approved setup, but th... 
Hope for the blues..
We all agree a player isn't all technique / speed or wanking.Since the links were  in a Blues/Rock vein,I think Sir Jefe can do what he wantshttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=s5ID15mv0gACovering a Freddie King tune like this isn't for amateurs.Love th... 
Hope for the blues..
bdp24- I agree,  technical prowess is only part of the equation.Johnny Winter,  was one of the few guys that got away with playing a bazillion notes, yet sound musical.Hopefully,these  2 will mature and it will show in their phrasing, less notes, ... 
Hope for the blues..
I suppose if I spent time on Youtube, I'd be hip to soo many talents...This American kid should get together with the Brit and form a supergroup.May not work though....Cream,Zep, Sabath,Who all had ONE guitarist! Conflicting creativity?https://m.y...
