Aric Audio Super 2A3 owners - favorite tubes?
I have an Aric Transcend on order and thought I'd bump this for any new 6sn7 comments. My amp probably won't be ready until Sept but I've already started buying some tubes for it.  Also, for the Transcend, for those that own it, how much does the... 
speaker cable that would work under a rug
I have been running my Triode Wire Labs American Speaker Cables under my rug for the right speaker for almost 4 years now. It is a shag rug so that helps hiding it. Just last week I ran it around the back of the speakers instead and elevated both... 
Puritan PSM156
Ok, I listened to more tonight. This thing has blown my mind. Wow. No loss of dynamics in the albums I listened to tonight w/ my Primaluna Evo 300 int plugged in.   
Puritan PSM156
Oh, and it sounds like I need to get the unit further away from everything. It's on it's own (bottom) shelf of the rack but probably needs to be further away. Will work on that.  
Puritan PSM156
Thanks to both of you for your reply. The unit was purchased used, but mint and has been burned in.  I've been slammed at work and working late and so far have only listened to 1 track - first w/o the 156 and then with it - which was my amp (abou... 
Puritan PSM156
After years of debating getting a PSM 156, I ordered a used one and it will be here next week - and is fully burned in. A few questions please - pick and choose any if you have a moment: 1. I already have two (burned in) Furutech Rhodium outlets... 
Amplifier for Volti Lucerna Speakers
P.S. The Rivals are now toed in 45 degrees and I moved the deflection half-domes into the room a bit more. Even though this pic was just taken a few weeks ago.  
Amplifier for Volti Lucerna Speakers
That's a bummer. I've only seen that red light once over the past 4.5 years. I have read more issues with Evo400s than 300s over the years - just what I have read it seems. That may not be the case but seems like it. I'm in Tampa now so good to h... 
Amplifier for Volti Lucerna Speakers
Hi Charles, I don't doubt that for one second but I do wonder if you were using the stock tubes or not? The difference between the stock tubes and what I have rolled is enormous and I think why my amp sounds so good - knowing that there is still a... 
Amplifier for Volti Lucerna Speakers
I've only heard my Rivals with 1 amp + Voltis at the Tampa show for the past 3 years. My amp is a lowly Primaluna Evo 300 integrated with the following tubes: Power: 2 KT-150 & 2 GE 6L6's - amp switch on high bias. Pre: Up front: 1950s CBS ... 
Upgraded from Klipsch to Volti - Was it worth it?
Congrats to the OP. I saw the Volti Youtube vid before I saw this thread and thought Greg did a great job with it.  I was also fortunate to buy my Rivals used and were purchased here actually a few years ago. They are my end game speakers. Every ... 
???What's The LEAST Expensive "End Game"Amplifier You've Ever Heard???
I am thrilled with my system and my amp is an integrated Primaluna Evo 300 (all tube). The tubes made the difference though. Up front I have two sets of Radiotechniques and 1 set of Brimars. In power I have a set of KT-150s and a set of GE 6L6GCs....
