| Prima Luna EVO series amps/preamps now available... I am just using the stock tubes that come with the Evo 400 preamps and amps. I have not noticed any sibilance, but I will keep your advice in mind if I do notice any.I would love to hear the PL amps with better wire from the transformers to the po... | |
| Any one try the new Synergistic Research BLUE UEF Duplex receptacle? Anyone who wants to see if customizing a wall socket makes a difference or not, keep your current wall outlet, but stick some strips of fo.Q TA-102 (from Japan via eBay) tape on it. Cover it as much as desired. Total cost about $10 worth of the pi... | |
| After all, you're listening to the power supply. I would rate attending to the quality of power supply of any given component, to be as important or more important than the signal path. For example, if I only had a limited small amount of silver monocrystal wire to rewire a tube amp, I would use... | |
| Prima Luna EVO series amps/preamps now available... Huge Thumbs up to the PrimaLuna Evo 400 amps and Evo 400 preamp. I wish I could give a comparison review with the earlier models, but I never owned or heard PL gear until now. The PL amps seemingly have nothing lacking even with only 100 hours bur... | |
| Constrained layer damping tape on XLR cable connectors? The right type of damping tape works incredibly well on XLR connectors, and on the entire cable for that matter, and also on wall outlet plates and power cable connectors. For me, the right type of tape is fo.Q TA-32 (cheapest to buy from Japan v... | |
| Vibratory or Not? Whatever happened to AVM (Anti Vibration Magic)? It seems to have vanished. I used to use it sometimes on printed circuit boards. It was very ugly but very effective... | |
| Constrained layer damping tape on toroidal transformer? If you're going to use damping tape, try the best - fo.Q TA-102 piezoelectric damping tape. No, I don't make it or sell it (or anything else). But I buy a lot of it for my own use. In fact, I'm probably a bit obsessed with it. Goes way beyond norm... | |
| Tone Arm board material Delrin is also a good suggestion. It's already used for the body of new Hana ML phono cartridge, and the base of high-end isolating feet (Revopods). | |
| Tone Arm board material Multi-layer sandwich of Prosopis Kuntzei parquetry wood and piezoelectric damping material such as fo.Q TA-102 should be well worth a try. | |
| Do any of your Rolling Stones recordings bring "Satisfaction"? Original Rolling Stones vinyl with exceptional audio -33 rpm 12"- Rolling Stones No. 2 (Decca Mono LK 4661) (unbelievable realism)- Their Satanic Majesties Request (Decca Stereo TXS 103) (stunning dimensionality and depth)45rpm 7" (mono)- Little R... | |
| Difference in sound between day and night. Help! Thanks for your thoughts geoffkait and noromance. I agree with the main points and with the likelihood of additional factors being at play, including the unknown. | |
| Prima Luna EVO series amps/preamps now available... CLXs are not direct from the Ref. 2 of course - they will be powered by the PrimaLunas. | |
| Prima Luna EVO series amps/preamps now available... Thanks tuberist. I'm glad to hear you are pleased with the PL Dialogue. I imagine the new Evo will sound like a very close relative, since there's not much different under the hood.tablejockey - The speakers are Martin Logan CLX electrostatics, an... | |
| Prima Luna EVO series amps/preamps now available... Thanks again tablejockey. I hope the new system will make great mono and stereo transfers when it's set up properly. Currently I can only do mono transfers, which is ok because a lot of my records are mono. I deleted my comments about Mapleshade b... | |
| Difference in sound between day and night. Help! I have noticed the night/day effect for at least the past 25 years since I first bought electrostatic speakers. I tried all sorts of remedies, but as millercarbon said earlier - anything you do to make it better in the daytime will also make it ev... |
