| Can the top end of a PrimaLuna Evo integrated be tamed w/tube rolling? You should be able to make a difference by rolling tubes, but it may or may not be enough for you.I would call Upscale Audio, the importer of PrimaLuna and dealer in NOS and current production tubes, and talk to them about it. | |

| Why do people care what their speaker wants? What I mean is, people are always asking, "I have Wilson Sabrina, what cables should I get?" Or right now it’s, "Speaker cable recommendation for Joseph audio perspectives2". Good point. More information from the OP about the sound he has now and... | |
| Why do people care what their speaker wants? Why do people care what their speaker wants? Quite simple really. You can’t take a random bunch of components, hook them together, and get the sound you want out of an audio system. You have to go about it in a systematic manner to have the best c... | |
| Bobby Whitlock YouTube video interviews bdp24, I'm not attacking the point you're making, I understand and enjoy ensemble playing, but maybe you can explain this to me. Why is Cream considered self indulgent blather while Charlie Parker and John Coltrane are considered brilliant musici... | |
| Why so many angry audiophiles? asvjerry, It would be better if you advised against discussing politics without slipping yours into the post. | |
| Non-Compressed Alternative of CDs Hi kitjv. No you can’t assume anything. It’s all on a case by case basis. The dynamic range database: Album list - Dynamic Range Database (loudness-war.info)can give you compression info on specific releases. Music other than rock and pop is less ... | |
| Does Age Matter? chakster, It's great that you enjoy record collecting, but that's not the only way to enjoy music with excellent sound. I really find it hard to understand people who feel there is only one way to do things, their way. We live in a time with mic... | |

| Why so many angry audiophiles? I suppose in practical terms, it is just bad internet manners. We all get angry and post at times, but maybe we can just try to not respond to the worst offenders. Maybe they'll get tired of talking to themselves and try to be a little more civil. | |
| Why so many angry audiophiles? We have lost our way spiritually or humanistically, whichever you prefer.For some, it is not enough to have a great stereo system, yours must be better than everyone else’s and you have to hammer at that point until the losers admit it.We are amon... | |
| Lansche plasma tweeter replacement every 5000 hours. b_limo, check your math. 40 hours a week for 2 1/2 years works out to 5200 hours, or replacement time for the tweeter. I agree that 5,000 hours is a lot of listening. | |
| Does Age Matter? I realized last night, when talking to the fellow who is buying my old Sota that it is the ritual of playing a record that is special. Loading a file is not. I can sit down with my tablet and my Roon and Qobuz subscriptions, start with somethin... | |
