| Primaluna Prologue One power tube rolling Hey guys, I thought I'd clear things up a little for you...The ProLogue One along with the Four, Six, and new DiaLogue One are optimized around EL34 power tubes. However, you can also use 6L6GCs, KT66s, KT77s, 6CA7s, 6V6GTs, 7581s. We have had doz... | |
| Difference: Cary SLI80 Signature vs non-signature? Here is the layout:SLI-80 started itSLI-80 Sig is a standard model and they added remote control,triode/ultralinear switching while you play, all-tube headphone jack (right off the speaker taps and rocks), a 4/8 ohm switch for the speakers. We sol... | |
| Ultralinear and Triode. What's the difference Saki70, I did not make any negative statement about the parts Cayin uses, and I categorically deny that as it would be a silly remark. I have been at the Spark factory in China and Herman or PrimaLuna representatives are there for weeks on end, an... | |
| Which tubes would you recommend? With all due respect...the $35 CV4024 we have would be for the top grade and will have the tightest triode balance, lowest noise and hum, and tested for the highest gain line or phono stages. Each tubes is measured in circuit, and listened to with... | |
| Sharing tube experiences with Cayin TA30/PrimaLuna FYI the two amps are not "cousins" except for being ultralinear in operation like many other push-pull amps.Especially when pushed due to Adaptive AutoBias and the output transformers. There is an article from the UK comparing the PrimaLuna with a... | |
| Sherman Oaks, CA That thread is closed. And my comments were unwarranted. On-line (and in the flesh) perceptions are not always what they seem. Anyway...the LAOCAS is a great club of fine folks. And is heading in a good orderly direction. The #1 thing about it is ... | |
| Sherman Oaks, CA It's so bizarre to say there is no quality gear there. I host a cook out for LAOCAS every year (I don't think I am this year...for personal reasons a one year break is right)I look for no biz from it. Its a party. In fact I avoid trying to sell a ... | |
| Prologue 2 Integrated Work Well With Axiom M80Tis? Well...I recall now who this fellow is. Frankly I'd like to bury the hatchett...but the gist of it was due to cultural differences and his expectations of what I could or would do for him, I told him there was no place to go. He left negative feed... | |
| Prologue 2 Integrated Work Well With Axiom M80Tis? I would be most happy to have somebody give the name of Mapleleafs3 and address, e-mail etc. He just recently posted a negative review on the PrimaLuna Pro 2 saying it looked cheap sounded horrible, etc. Also made the same statement about the Ah! ... | |
| Bellari VP129 vs. PrimaLuna Internal phono-stage So what did you end up doing? Though we rep both I have not compared them. I think the Bellari is a nifty piece but the technical aspect of the PrimaLuna is way ahead of the curve compared to anything else I have seen. But I would love your input. | |
| PrimaLuna ProLogue One versus Two Yikes I lost this thread! The 12AX7 will play the most important role. And don't assume you have to spend a lot of jack. It does not run any of the tubes hard. Suuuuper easy.the 12AU7 tubes you can use tubes that are quiet but they do not have to ... | |
| AH Njoe Tjoeb 4000 or Consonance cd120 ?? FYI the Njoe Tjoeb is made in Holland (base players is Asia...but all others are too)and the upsampler is made in Switzerland.The case (box) is basic but the Tjoeb has some of the best engineerimg and build you can get. The work is done in an ISO9... | |
| One of the tube on my preamp flashes on turn on. 100% normal for most any tubes from the Philips Europe factories. It is just momentary resistance in the heater.So it will happen on Philips Miniwatt, Mullard, Amperex, Radiotechnique, Valvo, and Adzam 12AT7 12AU7 12AX7 and others. | |
| PrimaLuna ProLogue One versus Two Thanks guys for all the kind words. I can't tell you how happy it makes me to see the reaction from people that really feel like they got something for their money.Tube rolling:The manuals I think are pretty nifty (I wrote most of it for the Engli... | |
| Tube microphonics in a preamp Ringing will go away after the tube has been hot and the parts have expanded. I don't know why you would think they went bad. Or the reverse can happen, and they go microphonic. Don't cycle them on/off. Bad for them. Don't tap on themn...it will l... |
