Primaluna amp with Sonus Faber?
Hi George, just read your last post. The graphs from Stereophile are revealing. I’ll admit I’m not the best at interpreting the all data. I do know my PL HP intergrated sounds great in my system. A HUGE upgrade from my NAD m3. As I recall didn’t t...

Nad M3 non repairable
My M3 had the exact same problem. Blown Power board, not repairable. Only it never made it to 10 years. It’s a beautiful piece. Huge heat sinks, velvety smooth volume control. 2x mono design, Extremely versitle crossover and sub out piece of garba...

Roger Waters Amused To Death
The qsound is amazing I have to admit. Listening to it again now. Skipping the mad at God tracks makes it less whiny. I guess when you are Waters you make albums for you now because someone will listen.
