| Upscale Audio and Primaluna The fact is that professional salesmen posing as audiophiles make orders of magnitude more money than experienced audiophiles posing as salesmen. | |
| KT150 to KT120..or KT120 to KT150 I agree with others that, in part, it depends on the amplifier design. The just released Zesto Audio Bia 200 Select has a selector switch with three positions; KT88, KT120, KT150 or KT170 with power output 60, 80 or 100W depending on tube and sel... | |
| Tube integrated amps -- new Value Leaders? IMHO, I agree that Black Ice Audio is one of the new value leaders in tube integrated amps as @bogbeat pointed out. | |
| Current Best Value In A Pair of Quality 300B's? The Psvane Acme WE300B are in the middle of the price range and highly regarded by many. Probably the best bet in your price range. Psvane Acme WE300B Pair If it was me, I'd spend an extra $300 on the US made WE300B. Western Electric 300B Pair ... | |

A friend who has heard one of the SP models thought it sounded exactly as you describe; a less expensive 7xx series speaker. He was impressed. | |
| Efficient speaker: Zu, Tekton, Volti, Klipsch, Fleetwood? Larsen makes great speakers but they don't belong in this thread; not at all efficient. With that said, Larsen is the only speaker brand I've heard that sounds excellent right against the front wall and doesn't require symmetrical corners like Aud... | |
| Rega Osiris Single Channel White Noise Help You're welcome, my pleasure. | |
| Turntable upgrade recommendations: SME vs AMG vs Technics vs other I've owned or worked on many turntables over the last five decades. Regardless of sound quality, none have been as much of a joy to use as SME. In addition, very few other turntable manufacturers have the equipment and skills to achieve the incre... |
