Would appreciate a group consensus on Agon purchased amps
It is a buyers responsibility to ASK the seller what is included  before making the purchase.    
Selecting Analog Gear Based on Music Preference?
Genre specific gear. I thought that one went out in 2021.  
Guys talking about a Led Balloon
Dill- I was disappointed in not hearing the Keith Moon story as told by Mooney! Weird to imagine one could actually buy the stuff at the supply store years ago? dbotm2-interesting story. As an American, I'm a sucker for a listen told by someone... 
BiAmp Focal Kanta 2 speakers with 1 set of posts.
Don't you just love the dealers who manage to insert a "your amp isn't optimum for the speakers I carry?"  Tacky Verdant Audio.  "Perfect match" in audiophoolery.........yeah right  
Tube Integrated vs Tube Seperates
sandthemall If an amp designer/tweaker messed around enough with the PL's auto bias setup, there likely is a work around to bump up the bias- like an auto tuner fiddling with a motor. Otherwise, those of us who are content with PL gear  may know... 
Is High End Audio catchin' up with you all?

Tube Integrated vs Tube Seperates

Turntable parts upgrade

PrimaLuna tube amp issue
I have a PL HP, and had a channel go out. Each channel has an auto bias board- could be the problem. Time to send it to a PL authorized repair facility. Just any repair facility won't do-they will not be ablt to get the schematic. Call Call Upsc...

"'66 Sunbeam Tiger with hand-built 347 stroker motor sounds like a pro stocker when I get on the gas.  Music to my ears." waytoomuchstuff That must be a handful to drive! Never seen a Tiger. Only a few Alpines over the years. A high school frie... 
BiAmp Focal Kanta 2 speakers with 1 set of posts.
Get the other Prima Luna, drive each channel by one and enjoy another or 2 of performance. Maximize the potential of those speakers by getting them in the optimum position, along with attention to the room. One of many ways to find the "perfect"...
