| Prima Luna vs jolida I use KT120s, Psvane 12AX7-T IIs, and Mullard NOS 12AT7s, none of which are expensive, and all of which sound amazingly good, although I said that about the other tubes I was using before this group. I researched the crap outta the "Tube Amp World... | |
| Do we still need 6550 or KT88 tubes? I like the sound of my 6550 and KT88 sets, but KT120s seem to sound stronger in my rig, and they're larger, so there's that...I do wonder if Shuguang KT120s will be any different from Tung Sols, and recently noticed some Chinese "Gold Lion" brande... | |
| Do we still need 6550 or KT88 tubes? KT120s are absolutely reliable not only based on my own experience of using them daily for nearly 2 years, but also based on my having rarely ever seen anybody say otherwise even when I posted a question regarding longevity. I think we "need" 6550... | |
| Why No Power Button on Some Phono Stages? Several days? That's just silly...turn off everything when you're not around, or at least never admit that you leave things on, as these days that's simply lame. Really. | |
| Why No Power Button on Some Phono Stages? I turn my doorbell off when I leave the house. It doesn't seem to have any effect on the sound. | |
| Prima Luna vs jolida Perhaps swap the 12AX7s and 12AT7s out (I like Mullard 12at7A/CV4024s and Psvane 12ax7s), different power tubes, try different interconnects and speaker wires...take the entire amp apart and replace everything with premium caps, resisters, wire, a... | |
| Prima Luna vs jolida You can talk to the Jolida dudes in MD whenver you want, and at length. | |
| Amp with best bass control My band in Honolulu opened for Led Zeppelin in 1969 and John Paul Jones decided to use the bass amps loaned to us by a local music store...2 Sunn 2000S rigs with the stock large 2X15 JBL cabinets (nobody I knew ever actually owned one of these spe... | |
| Prima Luna vs jolida Transformer meltdown doesn't seem to be much of an issue with KT120s...at least as far as I can tell from asking around. GL KT88s have been highly regarded for a while, but 120s are cheaper and sneaking in everywhere. It is important that you have... | |
| Amp with best bass control Mbvoaird...whew...I was making a joke, and by the way my Eden bass cabs, a 12, a 15, and a 2X10, make most home audio speakers sound weak and silly...and they're paper. Also almost zero pro guitar players including myself use anything other than t... | |
| Prima Luna vs jolida KT120s seem to have a more dynamic sound, they're inexpensive, and last a long time. Also, I don't think "point to point" wiring adds anything to sound particularly...it's wiring. | |
| Amp with best bass control As a person who plays bass guitar, I resent all this control people seem to want to have over bass. Maybe I'm being over sensitive, but I think I have the right to be utterly out of control. | |
| Prima Luna vs jolida Although I rarely mention my fabulous Jolida 502p (!), I have to say my "factory modded/upgraded" (100 bucks extra) version is a quiet and powerful GREAT sounding amp. I've taken it apart and its build quality is clean, and I've never read a direc... | |
| about the kt 120 tube Update: I'm now using Psvane 12AX7T IIs and they're real good. In fact, they're very good. | |
| Primaluna Prologue 2 Upgrades A quad of new factory matched KT120s should cost around $175 unless cryoed or something...I bought my set from an Ebay store a year and a half ago and they're still working and sounding great with no audible sign of wear, bias drift, explosions, o... |
