I'm considering swapping out the amp to a Ps Audio BHK250
I have not heard a BHK250 but you can expect more punch, power, and perhaps some clarity. Worth a try.
Upgrading from Primaluna
Recently went down the front end upgrade path and am running a nice table and phono now. I'm curious as to what the weaker link in my system is between my Primaluna Dialogue Premium Preamp and my Dialogue Premium Hp Power Amp. I'm considering swapping out the amp to a Ps Audio BHK250 for the summer to avoid heat, but am curious if I would be better off dealing with the heat and moving up to say an Allnic L-7000/Arc Ref 3 for the Pre. I'm happy with tubes on the front end, but curious if I'm running out of gas with 88DB efficient speakers and a single chassis tube amp. Which amp would you upgrade first and what benefits would you expect?

Based on the profile pics, your speaker setup and room are far from ideal to hear what your setup can do. After that, get a "better" table/ phono amp. It starts at the source. Your Focals/PL gear will support far "better" table/ phono amp. When your wallet recovers, revisit the "should I upgrade the amp" idea and double what you paid for the PL stuff. |
@tablejockey my table is now a Clearaudio Ovation with the Hana ML and my phonostage is an Allnic H-3000. Also, a BHK would be double what I paid so Im guessing the 250 should outperform sound and headroom wise what the PL is putting out from the amp. |
