Has Anyone Uesed A PrimaLuna Amp With Harbeth Speaker's
Power means undistorted and uncompressed dynamics true, but if you have enough power you have enough power and having more buys you nothing, and people should not put weight on that as any guarantee of performance.   There is no relationship to qu... 
Has Anyone Uesed A PrimaLuna Amp With Harbeth Speaker's
Read Herb Reichert's Stereophile review of the 86dB efficient Dynaudio Contour 20   with the SMALLEST $2199 PrimaLuna power amp.    He stated  "The combo of Dynaudio Contour 20s and PrimaLuna ProLogue Premium played all the mountain ennui and fier... 
What ARC electronics would you choose to mate with Wilson Sabrinas?
http://www.hifi-advice.com/blog/review/loudspeaker-reviews/wilson-sabrina/9 Here's a link of a Sabrina review where the reviewer has an ARC Ref 75SE.  Look at the other tube amp that he tried that was only 35 watts and had only been broken in for ... 
PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium Preamplifier. DESTROYS SPEAKERS!!
Hi GuysFor clarity, this is not a large coupling cap that failed in George's preamp.  It's a high-frequency snubber, which is why the suspicion about outside causes.  We've never had that failure ever, but to ensure there is no issue I am contacti... 
PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium Preamplifier. DESTROYS SPEAKERS!!
This preamp has been in production for over four years, and we have never had this part fail EVER with hundreds of units sold.  It is built with better quality parts than any of its peers.  This failure was most likely due to the system or somethi... 
PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium Preamplifier. DESTROYS SPEAKERS!!
Well George, what do you have to say now? Let me guess; you will continue to insist that it was all PL’s fault and not Bryston’s. Truth is the PrimaLuna capacitor failed. We take responsibility for that ultimately. I’ve been doing this for 40 year...

" nobody builds a product like PrimaLuna...except Atma-Sphere"It's been a while since I heard a better joke. Below is a quote from the review of our $2199 ProLogue Premium preamp.  Herb Reichert is both technically adept, and very experienced. ...

Considering switching from Audio Research to PrimaLuna, troube with VS115 amp
Hey folks I'm getting on a plane now and may be out of touch for a bit. My wife is cool and loves audio but I better be present if you know what I mean. Vacation time.

Of course, cathode bias means that you run a slightly higher B+ in order to achieve the same plate to cathode voltage, but it’s the quiescent current in conjunction with the plate to cathode voltage (not plate to ground voltage, which includes t...

I caved and put the KT150s back in after just under 3 days.  It's all the loveliness of the EL34s, but at SCALE.  Everything is just "more" of what the EL34s have.  Soundstage is much much larger, bass is deeper and a little tighter.  Sparkle a ...

Allan: The DAC is finished in prototyping. No ETA or any other info as yet. If anybody is looking for a PS Audio Directstream I had a brand new one that was purchased by a customer that two weeks later got transferred to Europe and we could not ge...

I don’t think I need to address build quality. Or how they are built, or what "qualifies" as point to point.I don’t mean to be a stickler, but respectfully Kevin, I think you do, since it’s in your advertising collateral. What I meant is it's ...

"The DiaLogue Seven is completely handwired, point to point—and I’ve never seen a better-built amp. Wires were neatly trimmed and dressed, with no strand out of place. I spent a long time trying to find a single bad solder join, and could not: Som...

fsonicsmith you are da man.  What a fun journey.   Someone asked me today if I was ready to retire.  Hell no.  I'm having more fun now than ever.  I still collect vintage receivers.  I'm going to be at the Focal factory in France next Tuesday and ...
