Upscale Audio and Primaluna
Well, a lot of comments. Here are the truths about me and my business. I have never wanted to tell people what tube to buy because it is not possible,and people used to grind on me to say SOMETHING and get pissed if I didn’t. Granted this would be... 
How Is Pathos Audio Service After The Sale In The US?
Hi I'm the owner of Upscale Audio.  We've been in business for 26 years now, and I have two full-time techs with a combined 35 years of experience.  I took on Pathos as the official importer because I have ALWAYS loved the brand.  I understand yo... 
What'd You Get For Xmas?
@astolfor Sorry for any delays on the Heritage Astolfo.  I think you know we care, but you have a request that we are filling and everything is slow.  We've been right on it.  Solidtech is another matter.  I was going to buy one myself but the co...

@arafiq Al my sales staff are different.  One customer might feel this salesperson is too touchy-feely and wants to get to the point, and another wants a new friend.  Everyone's different, whether customer or staff.  If you meet one that you like,...

@fsonicsmith Thank you for your kind words and for reading my business right. I like selling big-ticket items too of course but spent my teenage years with my nose pressed up against the glass windows of stereo stores longing to get the best I cou...

I don’t go to forums and almost never post. But I feel a need to clarify some things that are pervasive falsehoods. First off, we sell vintage tubes to anyone except out of the country and guitar amps. There was a time where I wanted to sell n... 
TANNOY will stop Hi-FI ?
I failed to realize the erroneous article from 2016 caused this thread.   As you can see from the video that we made just this last March...literally weeks ago..Tannoy is producing.  Though as usual it's not mass-produced.  I took some videos of h... 
TANNOY will stop Hi-FI ?
Fun video we just did  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYeW5X4GX7Ehttp:// As the importer/distributor of Tannoy in North America, I can tell you Tannoy Legacy and GR products are made in Europe, and that has never changed. The cabinets are made in... 
Has Anyone Uesed A PrimaLuna Amp With Harbeth Speaker's
PrimaLuna QC and build quality is better than most any brand at any price, and the proof of that is from well-read,technically adept, independent reviewers that have stated that over and over.  And it's backed up by a 3 year warranty that does not... 
Integrated amp with HT bypass for Focal Electra 1008 Be
We're the largest Focal dealer on the west coast and maybe the whole country.  The DiaLogue Premium would blow your mind with the 1008Be.I have a Hegel H360 here that was traded in on one.  The HP would be even better.  The amps are the same but t... 
Has Anyone Uesed A PrimaLuna Amp With Harbeth Speaker's
I didn’t realize I have a customer who owns Harbeth 30.1's and just this week he traded in his McIntosh MA6600 for a PrimaLuna HP integrated.  He sent me this note minutes ago. The HP is new new new and I’ve asked him to check back with updates as... 
Has Anyone Uesed A PrimaLuna Amp With Harbeth Speaker's
Getting back to the point about amplifier power, I suggest you do your own calculations which is very very easy AND enlightening.  Most people never use more than 10 watts of power.  Playing music at 87dB is pretty damn loud. If there are any elec... 
Has Anyone Uesed A PrimaLuna Amp With Harbeth Speaker's
Hey clarinetmonster2 where did you make your demo?  Was it a dealer?  What speaker tap did you use?  Stereophile Editor in Chief John Atkinson used a PrimaLuna HP specifically because of bass performance "speaking with a unified voice" when he rev...

It’s parts count. Not watts. Like I said, a $148 Sony receiver will meet it's 100wpc specs and at low distortion.  Look at the internal parts count, quality of parts, and weight.  Use Google Images and believe nobody.  We recently had a double-bli...
