PS Direct Stream Vs. Lumin X 1 Sound quality difference?
People read all of this (forum) in hopes mining information. I'm one.I just got an X1 and sure enough at first it sounded thin and harsh and then after more use BAM..I can't get enough. I had a T2 and it comes close to the X1 but the X1 is a bit m...

Why the hate for mcintosh amps?
When I have a Mac attack I go Big [Mac) with fries and a coke. For my amp I prefer bespoke.  
If there’s an audiophile exit ramp, this ain’t it…
I like to tinker. Many on this Forum do. In a nut shell that’s it. Sometimes a new purchase is thrilling until it’s not. tvad is right. Stop reading all this (in hopes of mining a golden life changing kernel of knowledge). For many, albeit slowly... 
Aren't you sorry you missed out on this one? It's already sold out! LOL

Full stop... Have to send back AMP (Roders KWM-88 Integrated Amplifier) to get some changes made inside to use KT170's so as not to damage amp. Went back to 88’s and will dig out shipping box ASAP.

I have less than five hours on a quad of them. I’m thrilled. It’s like having a new system. More lower mids, bass, live music feel. Was using KT-88’s. Speakers are not efficient ones. Got an email from my Amp maker saying he’s now offing them, so ...

Rogers High Fidelity Integrated amplifiers
Generally you do get what you pay for in audio. The PrimaLuna (for me) punched above it’s class. Perhaps someday they will make a more powerful Amp or integrated.IMO the Rogers High Fidelity integrated that’s built so well delivers like I was usin...

I had a PrimaLuna HP Integrated (using 88’s and upgraded pre tubes) and replaced it with a KWM-88 Integrated Amplifier. I loved the PL until the KWM-88 Integrated Amp blew the PL away. My speakers aren’t too efficient and I wanted more to drive th...
