| PRIMALUNA OR ROGUE AUDIO I know this is an old post, but I have to give my opinion here. I currently own a Rogue Cronus Magnum II. Recently I demoed a PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium Integrated in my home. My speakers are Harbeth C7 es3. While the Dialogue was quieter, had... | |
| VPI Prime or Scout or ??? @mayoradamwest I was previously using a Rega RP3 with Denon DL-110 for a few years. Prior to that I had a VPI Classic 1 with Dynavector 20x2 L. I sold the Classic 1 to fund the purchase of a PS Audio Direct Stream DAC (which is absolutely fantas... | |
| Speakers with warm treble and good bass Alright there is a lot to respond to here. First, I'll answer some of the questions that have been asked:--Room TreatmentsI am using acoustic panels from ATS Acoustics. I have a total of 8 of them spread on the walls. First reflection points ha... | |
| Speakers with warm treble and good bass Wow lots of replies here, this is great, thanks all. Lots to respond to.One thing that I have seen mentioned a few times is cleaning up my power supply. This is something I have been considering for a while, although at the moment I'm not sure I... | |
| Speakers with warm treble and good bass Monitor Audio may be an option, but I do recall hearing them at an audio show once, and they seemed to be more detail-oriented rather than musical.I wasn't able to get good bass out of the Vandersteens for some reason. They also sounded a tad bri... | |
| Speakers with warm treble and good bass The rest of my system:Rogue Audio Chronus Magnum II Integrated Tube AmpPS Audio DirectStream DACAcoustic Zen Satori Speaker CablesAs for the Pendragons, I felt that they had too much of an "up front" sound in the midrange, at least in my listening... | |
| Pass INT-30A with Acoustic Zen Adagio @jond I would agree with the high-end vs. budget comment. However, I've opted to get rid of the Pass and keep the Rogue. I tried a few different pairs of speakers with the Pass, and it sounded analytical through all of them, including the Adagi... | |
| Pass INT-30A with Acoustic Zen Adagio I am currently demoing a Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum II integrated. I am noticing the same thing I did when I used my PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium with the Adagios. There is a bit of grain somewhere in the treble that these speakers seem to emphasiz... | |
| Pass INT-30A with Acoustic Zen Adagio Lots of great input here on the topic, thanks guys. Newbee: If you prefer tubes like I do, then I'm afraid the Pass may not be your way out of tubes completely. I thought it might be the way for me, but I am not realizing that dream. It's very ... | |
| Pass INT-30A with Acoustic Zen Adagio Missioncoonery: I appreciate the response. Glad to hear there is someone else that shares this opinion. I was trying so hard to figure out if it was my speakers or amp, but I have heard a few other amps with the Adagios, and I did have them soun... | |
| Pass INT-30A with Acoustic Zen Adagio Newbee thanks for the response. I do agree that the amp is amazing. I'm just wondering if I'm out of my element, seeing as how I was a tube guy for quite a while. I really would like to make the amp work for me, but I've been chasing my tail fo... | |
| Yamaha A-S3000 - any experiences? The A-S2000 I think has much better bass response when using the balanced inputs. The bass punch with the 2000 is definitely good, it's mainly the extension that I feel is a bit lacking. It doesn't go as low as my PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium.I us... | |
| Yamaha A-S3000 - any experiences? I currently own the A-S2000, which I have enjoyed thoroughly over the years. I've been on the hunt for another amp, solid state or tube, that offers a significant upgrade in sound for the price. So far I haven't found that amp. I would say the ... | |
| PrimaLuna Dialog 2 User Review I know this is for a Dialogue 2 review, but I want to chime in here with my experience on the Dialogue Premium power amp, which is connected directly to my PS Audio DirectStream DAC.First off, we can all agree that my source is not a problem here.... | |
| Cleaning new/sealed records? I think he may have been saying that others should take your advice. Think of Yoda saying the sentence, and make sense it will. |
