| Synergistic Research HFT's I have 3 sets of the standard HFTs. I can confirm what was stated above they work as advertised. | |
| Audio envy - dang! @jayctoy Yes, they went back. I am completing my Cerious Matrix loom. | |
| Audio envy - dang! My system is solid state and on the analytical side, no tubes. Overall same tonal structure after another 50 hours. I prefer the Cerious Matrix, same level of detail, but more warmth in the mids providing a nice balance.Nevertheless for the cost... | |
| Audio envy - dang! I added a xlr and a power cord P3 to my system after reading through all the praise.Interconnect between Esoteric CD player and preamp. P3 added after 3 hours to preamp. Compared to the Cerious Matrix the interconnects with <5 hours on them sou... | |
| Woofer pumping possibly due to tube amp when playing vinyl As has been said before the KAB rumble filter will fix it without any sound quality loss.

| Seems like a lot of folks are putting their Primaluna amps for sale... Just sold my Dialogue pre a couple weeks ago. Simple matter of upgrading. Was fun to play with the different 12au7 tubes. I enjoyed it for the price point. | |
| I Find Primalunas Ugly. How about You? Is there an alternative? I own both the PL Dialogue Pre and the HP power amp. The sound is enjoyable for the price point. With all the comments about the LM 518 I really wonder now if I am missing something. Good thing with the PLs is the tube rolling options to fine tune. | |
