| Tube integrated with real bass. Does it exist? PrimaLuna - Read this months Stereophile review of the YG Acoustics Carmel 2. Stereophile editor John Atkinson won't even use tube amps to write speaker reviews because they measure like crap but did not get satisfactory bass from even the Parasou... | |
| Questions on KT150 tubes Thanks. I have heard that the KT150 has a gentle midrange. From my research I won't go from an EL34 to a KT88 or KT120. They sound more technical is the word I get.I'm so glad I got the PrimaLuna. As time goes on I'm more and more enamored. FYI mo... | |
| Primaluna DiaLogue Premium preamp I asked that question before I bought my PrimaLuna. The top of the line preamps from Audio Research, BAT, and a number of others use tube rectification or regulation, and so my assumption would be it is better if it is possible $$$ wise. I had loo... | |
| How quiet is your Rogue Sphinx? What did you end up buying? I was looking at integrateds and researched for a year and have a lot of data if you need it. I travel and was able to look carefully at many different products. I found that a pure tube amp would be the only way to go. | |
| Primaluna DiaLogue Premium preamp Thanks. I'm buying speakers and will most likely do tubes to fine tune. I called Upscale and Kevin was terrific and though people came up to him saying someone else was calling for him he said he's call them back and stayed with me to talk about n... | |
| Repair or mod CJ PV-12? What is you lived in Alaska or Hawaii and we were talking about a 75 lb amp? It's out of warranty. Any repair station should be able to call and buy a part. Most parts can simply be bought from part suppliers. Transformers usually not. So because ... | |
| Sonus faber Amatis vs guarneries anybody opinions? Good input. Thank you very much everyone.I was able to hear some Guarneri Evolutions with the addition of a REL G2 subwoofer in a real nice demonstration. The REL didn't just add bass. The image actually went deeper. It was quite eye-opening. I ca... | |
| Best tube amp choice for Focal Electra 1038 Be Make sure the amp allows you to tube roll with different preamp tubes. That's the best way to guarantee you will get what you want I failed to mention the VTL it85. That may work as it's more forward like you were seeking and had lots of high end ... | |
| Best tube amp choice for Focal Electra 1038 Be I almost bought the Primaluna Dialogue Premium HP. I got the separates instead. But before I did I researched for six months and the HP appeared to be the best I found. I also checked the Audio Research Vsi75 and it was real nice sounding but seem... | |
| Primaluna DiaLogue Premium preamp Well I finally pulled the trigger and bought a PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium preamp and matching HP power amp. I would have been happy with the integrated but I wanted to get something that I would not have to replace ever and I contacted many owners... | |
| Repair or mod CJ PV-12? If you are saying they won't sell you a replacement part for a product they make that's unforgivable. That forces you to ship it to them and back plus get ripped off for labor prices. They can go ahead and gouge on the part price. But replacing a ... | |
| ADS 910 vintage speakers I had some and they likes a little bit of power from what I remember. I had and amp from a Yamaha rack system and it broke up bad. I had to replace it. I saw another speaker so incredibly cheap on eBay. Mission made some great stuff in England and... | |
| Amplifier for Sonus Faber Guarneri EVO's Hi Bavarian05 what amp did you end up with? What different things did you try? | |
| Primaluna DiaLogue Premium preamp Why do they use those 5ar4 tubes? I look at the CJ ET3SE and VTL 2.5i and ARC preamps and they don't use them. Why not?I just looked up Cary and they don't either except on the SLP-05 but that's like $9k or something. Sorry to be a pain. | |
| PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium I'm glad you asked this question!! I'm thinking of getting something really high end and saw the Dialogue premium HP integrated. Then I'm thinking preamp/amp. Is the Primaluna preamp really all that? Why does it have two 5ar4 rectifier tubes and t... |
