| Help with Cable selection Hambon, I have the PL HP also."What’s best" is VERY SUBJECTIVE. Instead of a brand, I would also look into the Cable Company and or a dealer with demo stuff to loan. With my system, I went all Nordost. Pricey new, I went used while making sure it’... | |
| yes yesterday noisy pressings I have a copy, and find both sides okay. Do more bin diving and find "Yes" and "Time and a word" since most of the cuts are off those two albums. The sonics are better, IMO.Greatest hits albums seem to under underwhelm compared to the original rel... | |
| PrimaLuna cable needs iclick,the wall receptacle, surprisingly, or not surprisingly(YMMV) can be a cheap upgrade. Replace with a "hospital grade" or I see Audio Advisor has their Pangea model for $25 dollars.This, and a decent power cord will wake up your amp. How much... | |
| PrimaLuna cable needs Listening to your present gear and experimenting with speaker placement will get dramatic results for free. Your curiosity is all over the place. Consider optimizing to hear whatever tubes you have before deciding it's not to your liking. Otherwis... | |
| Question about valves running hours Doesn't anyone remember?Vacuum tubes powered WWII.Doubtful equipment was on a timer and shut off after 8 hours.That being said, it doesn't mean keep it always on, just turn it off when you're finished listening. It is a good idea to at least have... | |
| Primaluna Dialogue Premium or Premium HP? Matt00-Give Kevin@Upscale Audio a call, he's the authority on the PL line.My guess is yes, as I've heard ML's driven by PL gear. | |
| Rega Planar 3 upgrades help. consider spending as much as a you can on a LOMC and using any money on additional mods on good records and call it a day.The Rega upgrade bug can have you upgrading endlessly until you realize an entirely new/different table and cart is the real ... | |
| Rega Planar 3 upgrades help. Go to vinylengine.com and get all the info about Rega tweaking.I had a P5 years ago and found the subplatter and belt the best bang for the buck upgrade. I did find speed noticeably faster(even with the optional power supply)which was one of the t... | |
| Swapping 5AR4 rectifier for 274B in a PrimaLuna Preamp "Regarding rectifier tubes, from what I’ve been able to piece together after significant research on the ‘net, is that the sonic differences between rectifiers is mostly caused by the “voltage drop” of each different tube model/design. This voltag... | |
| Primaluna Dialogue Premium or Premium HP? Sounderman, congratulations on your acquisition.As your hearing detects, the sonic upgrade is there, but not in a way which your jaw drops. I found the more you listen, the impression of "upgrade" increases!RCA black plates along with the same Ma... | |

| What cartridge on your VPI prime? checkout the thread and consider the Audio Technica ART 9.I have one on my VPI Classic.You obviously have the gain enough for very low output, so the ART 7 will save you a few more bucks AND may offer a bit more performance over the ART 9, as its ... | |
| Nordost Odin or Valhalla 2 In the context of your system,(110k) I would consider V2.But I sure wouldn’t accept retail pricing. I’m assuming this is more than just a PAIR of cables, but several since it’s a HT rig?Im a Nordost fan with my modest tubed gear plumbed with H2/F2... | |
| Onzow Zero Dust - cleaning the cleaner no need to use fancy water to rinse it off. Put it under the tap with a dab of dishwashing soap should do it.I bought one a few years ago, used it a couple of times, and found it no better than a cartridge brush. Another item collecting dust(the i... |
