| Class D is just Dandy! @erik_squires "Still, proof is in the listening."Always! | |
| Lesson Learned @ricred1 I could not agree with you more. In fact, if and when, I will just build a new system and am hoping to by retirement. Synergy is EVERYTHING. It is not about "which" component is best, but much more critical which components sound best tog... | |
| 2017 ‘Keeper’ speakers under - $25K @thomasgcTotally agreed. Sabrina’s are amazing. Especially with ARC tubes and D’Agostino SS. Want to hear with the HV series T+A gear. Don't be fooled by their size, they can pressurize a decent-sized room.Mbl is also very special. Check them out. | |
| Has anyone compared K150 tubes and the stock EL34s in Primaluna integrated/amplifiers? @jbhiller See parsons comments on this thread. https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/considering-switching-from-audio-research-to-primaluna-troube... | |
| Need advice about upgrading speakers ( it might be the last one i own). @jrosemd It seems as if you heard the $10k Montis at a real disadvantage; probably with a poor setup and maybe supporting equipment mismatch too - synergy is everything. The Magnolia near me plays them typically with McIntosh tubes. While I'm not... | |
| What is your speaker ownership history since 1995? @bsimpsonWell, before some thankful guy beats me to it, Thank You! to the OP from all of us who may be wanting to upgrade to a new speaker or system and need to get others on-board with the change. I can show this to my wife and she'll think she's... | |
| Considering switching from Audio Research to PrimaLuna, troube with VS115 amp @parsons here are Kevins comments on EL34 vs. kt150 from Page 4 of this thread. "I use an HP at home with KT150's and it's amazing. But it's not night and day from a stock one with EL34's. It's a small nudge." | |
| Intigrated Amp Dilemma Sounds partially like a synergy problem to me. You seem to prefer the Rogue sound in your Reference system over the Paradigm sound in your office system. But I also assume your source and such in your office system are not as competent as your mai... | |
| Considering switching from Audio Research to PrimaLuna, troube with VS115 amp @fsonicsmith Quoting you "Generally speaking, modern ARC gear tends to be fairly "in the middle" between classic tube and ss sound and I understand PL to be a bit more on the tube side of the spectrum." If you'll read my comments above, I thought ... | |
| Considering switching from Audio Research to PrimaLuna, troube with VS115 amp @tablejockey I used the word “unblinded” as in we could see Kevin’s making the cable swap as opposed to the blind switch where we were "blinded". @jbhiller "It seems like the takeaway is the Primaluna product is a solid bet with tons of value" I'd... | |
| Considering switching from Audio Research to PrimaLuna, troube with VS115 amp Not wanting to restate Kevin’s comments, I’ll just try to add to them; I’m certainly not as succinct as he is as you can see by the length of this post. Before getting started with the listening, Kevin reminded us the purpose behind this shoot-out... | |
| Considering switching from Audio Research to PrimaLuna, troube with VS115 amp Hi Table Jockey,I sat in the middle on the back row and then when we shuffled I was the guy on the front right near the equipment racks. | |
| Considering switching from Audio Research to PrimaLuna, troube with VS115 amp Kevin,Just wanted to thank you again for your hospitality and openness to organizing this shoot out. I will put together some thoughts and post in a while. |
