Can the top end of a PrimaLuna Evo integrated be tamed w/tube rolling?
I've owned valve components by Luxman, Rogue, Backert Labs, and Quad, and now spent the past 24 hours with this Evo 300. It is a very nice amp, but without question compared to my memory of those other units, it has a more pronounced top end which... 
Can the top end of a PrimaLuna Evo integrated be tamed w/tube rolling?
I am comparing a Supernait 3 and a PrimaLuna Evo 3 in the exact same system. The PrimaLuna has a harsher top end than the Supernait 3. Period... I unplug the cables from one amp and plug them into the other. It is most definitely the amp. Not the ... 
Innuos owners: Possible to rip audio from blu-ray?
Thanks, it seems you are correct. I was hoping there may be a way since it's only 2 channel audio but the blu ray format is obviously different tech than CD audio. 
Main Audiogon site barely works?
I don’t think that deep IT database conversion affects the top-layer user experience... we’ve done database conversions in the background plenty of times and left the user experience alone until like 2 AM on a Saturday where you switch things to p... 
Main Audiogon site barely works?
I'm not sure what kind of update takes 48+ hours, but nevertheless it's a little stressful that I can't get into the site to remove an item I have for sale, The bright side I guess is that no one else can get into the site and buy it before I can ... 
Main Audiogon site barely works?
I sent a message through the "Help" tab on the main site, will wait to see if I get any response. Thanks for corroborating this everyone. 
Main Audiogon site barely works?
I can't even reach the site now. I've posted $10K in listings on Thursday and no one can even go to the site to shop for them.  
Help! Choosing a Roon core/streamer/server! (Roon vs Innuos vs Wyred4Sound)
@audiotroy I am curious, why would adding the 432 evo necessitate  you dropping Innuos? Wouldn't it be advantageous for your store to provide more options for your customers?  
Innuos Zenith Mk3 vs Zen Mk3 + Phoenix
Yes, is is about taking concert pitch A=440, and lowering it to 432. This means the whole whole song is dropped via a DSP.  They say it’s more natural and pleasing to the ear. I suppose whats good about it is you can turn it on or off via a settin... 
"Bridge Over Trouble Water" sounds artificial
Roy Halee basically made a career out of producing Simon & Garfunkel, Paul Simon, and his wife Edie Brickell. I don't think aside from that he has any remarkable credentials as a producer of audiophile recordings. That being said, the more spa... 
Innuos Zenith Mk3 vs Zen Mk3 + Phoenix
@audiotroy what is this business about the evo being "tuned" to 432Hz. Are they saying they de-tune the music (standard 440Hz) down to 432 Hz via some kind of DSP? Or is this some kind of "resonant frequency" business where all of their internal c... 
Uptone Audio EtherREGEN review
Good to read this morning, I have an etherRegen being delivered via FedEx today - looking forward to connecting to my Naim Uniti Nova and Innuos Zen MK III to see what if any gains it offers. I'm tempering expectations and expecting something alon... 
Review: Naim Uniti Atom vs Tube Separates/Chord Digital System
@joc3021 Congrats on the Nova. I am as happy as I've ever been with any system I've owned. IMO the Nova sounds better than all the gear listed in my OP that it replaced... But I think that's a combination of personal preference, and the great syne... 
Review: Naim Uniti Atom vs Tube Separates/Chord Digital System
Wish I could be of more help but I really know nothing about your speakers. You really need feedback from Harbeth owners... I'd just do some web surfing and try to find some Harbeth forums or user groups and see what they recommend. Good luck! 
Review: Naim Uniti Atom vs Tube Separates/Chord Digital System
No, maxing out the volume on the Atom would only apply if you are feeding the Naim into an integrated amp, which is not what you should be doing.Running the Atom as a preamp into a standalone amplifier is the way to go, then you are controlling th...
