| Advice Needed on Choosing a Turntable Just picked up a prime, open box.love it. Retiring my 30 year old HW19 mk3 | |
| VPI CLAMP It will clamp the record down, but it won’t do what the appropriate clamp will do. Which is to have the record firmly connected to the platter. In other words, get the right clamp.good luckmdr | |
| Critique my setup @mattyjman, I haven’t heard the Manley, I positive it’s wonderful. Too much tube-iness, would be a more euphonic sound at the cost of detail, and attack (like on a cymbal or guitar), but like I’ve said I haven’t heard the Manley. I chose the Lehma... | |
| Critique my setup Do you have any equipment now? Or is this a shopping list?I agree on the Cronus magnum suggestion, I have the 1 not the 2 and it's only bettered by my Primaluna Dialogue Premium integrated.I had a Jolida 502, it was good but the Cronus blew it awa... | |
| PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium @johnss, Regarding coupling caps, are you referring to all of the Poly caps (white ones in the photo) or just the Solen ones?https://ibb.co/mrEjrH .Thanksmdr | |
| Integrated amp for Focal Aria 948 speakers? SS or tube @larseand are there any PM dealers in your area? Maybe you could ask them for a demo. As someone mentioned in another thread, your minimum ohm is 2.5 and might need the extra umph of the HP. There’s only one way to tell. I find in my 12X16x9’ room... | |
| Integrated amp for Focal Aria 948 speakers? SS or tube I've got the PM Dialogue premium, used for 2k.It's wonderful with the Focal 1008be2'sI had a Cronus Magnum but there is more air and I think a deeper soundstage. Besides you can switch from ul to triode from the comfort of your chair. Need a phono... | |
| Where to go next, DAC or Preamp If you’re looking at getting better 2.1 sound, get a used Primaluna Dialogue Premium integrated. I have the smaller brothers the Focal 1008be2’s and the Bluesound node 2. And the PM gives me a wonderful presentation. It also has a home theater byp... | |
| looking for a new pre/amp or integrated amp Like @mesch said, Bluesound Node2, or vault if you want to rip more cd's easily. And look for an Integrated the will check the rest of the boxes.If you go used and can wait you'll get a lot more for your buck.I ended up with a Primaluna dialogue p... | |
| PrimaLuna DiaLogue Premium HP or PrimaLuna DiaLogue Premium (integrateds) BTW, I use the 4 Ohm taps. | |
| PrimaLuna DiaLogue Premium HP or PrimaLuna DiaLogue Premium (integrateds) I just picked up a Primaluna Dialogue Premium (non hp).Its pushing a pair of Focal 1008be2’s.wonderful. I had a Cronus Magnum in the system, I feel the PM has it beat with detail, soundstage, and bass. More air between voices/instruments. Not on t... | |
| Who do you recommend for Integrated Amp Mods? I think tube rolling will be best for you. After a quick google search it looks like a pretty simple preamp, with some really nice caps in it. If it has the separate power supply, that could possibly be a candidate for some upgrades depending on t... | |
| Rogue Cronus Magnum II, but I have depth constraints.. Good for you. Enjoy.I found tube rolling in the CM (non 2) showed more of the differences between the tubes than my pervious amps. | |
| Rogue Cronus Magnum II, but I have depth constraints.. What did you decide on?I’ve got both a CM and a Dialogue Premium, I like the PL slightly better, but quite happy with the CM. I think the PL has a bigger and deeper soundstage, better grip on the bass, and more detail. Both with 120 tubes, but th... | |
