Primaluna EVO 400 Amps/Preamp lacking bass impact
If the subs are set correctly they don't get in the way of the mains.   It's all in the setup.  
Primaluna EVO 400 Amps/Preamp lacking bass impact
I found the original EL34's in the HP Mono  Blocks I use were missing too much. I  am driving ATC SCM19s that have a flat impedance curve with very little damping problems. I skipped the lesser tubes when I decided to roll and went directly to KT1... 
Tube amps under $7500
I had a Rogue ST-100 for a minute. It sounded terrible on my speakers, which are extremely accurate. I understand that Rogue overdrives the power tubes so you must constantly replace them at about six months. I have two Prima Luna Dialogue Premiu... 
Anyone listen to entire albums?
I started buying albums in the late 1960's. I never just listened to one side. I always play all sides in order. Think of it as an artistic creation. The album was conceived with all the songs (not necessarily a concept) in the order in which they... 
Tubed preamps and Power amps- How old is too old???
I've owned a CJ PV6 for 40 years. It has been in constant service. The CJ tech replaced/upgraded the caps to their new type in 2017. I played it 8-12 hours a day since it returned having been blessed by CJ. I just have had to replace the tubes. It... 
Ultrasonic cleaning
I use the Rush Paul method slightly modified: https://positive-feedback.com/audio-discourse/rushton-paul-diy-approach-ultrasonic-cleaning-lps/ I've deviated slightly (Triton -X100, 99% isoproful, just RO water in the US tank), but I am thri... 
For Your Edification and Enjoyment re "Burn In", etc.
@millercarbon And that is more respect than this pompous and bass ackward comment deserves. That’s a joke. He doesn’t respect anyone except himself. 
The Lifespan of an LP?
@millercarbonThe sage of Agon. You can always count on him to explain the basics, because that's all that he know. 
Most rooms don’t need acoustical treatment.
@coachpoconnerMillercarbon- What does “As soon as we move from the hypothetical home of the scoundrel to the particular home of the individual then acoustic treatment can suddenly matter a lot.”On what planet do you exist? Why was it important to ... 
Is my anti-skating too strong.
There he is in all his glory. Chuck Miller making the reader feel small and insignificant as he pontificates his supreme and omnipotent expertise.  
What are all these metal cans/pods sitting on top of electronics?
@rushfan71 I use 1 pound bags of cannabis. Yeah, but the bags keep getting lighter everyday  
Audio Research VT80SE amp vs Prima Luna EVO 400 or 300
@ rushfan71 has it down. I have the PL DP HP's also and I drive 85 db speakers with ease. It's linearity mates well with the linear impedance of my speakers. By rolling the 12AU7s, as he says, you can have everything you want. The point to point w... 
Which Speaker
Before Mr. Tekton (MC) holds sway, you may want to look at these. https://www.sound-smith.com/speakers/monarch-bookshelf-speakersYou might be surprised that they could be better. He'll never admit it though. 
My hearing deficits are becoming clear...
@whitestix I’ve recently acquired the Resound (well reviewed by CR) behind the ear hearing aids with the receiver in the ear. They are very good all things considered. The audiologist made a program for TV and another for Music. The aids only go u... 
Why so many angry audiophiles?
MC it looks like Will Ferrel is playing you!
