| Tube amplifier (with remote!) for Quad ESLs nmac,As you know the Quads are mid range giants; so is the EL34 tube. The Primaluna is wonderfully controlled amplifier. The soundstage is excellent and jazz trios, quartets, etc. sound like they are supposed to. And vocals, off the freaking ch... | |
| Tube amplifier (with remote!) for Quad ESLs I've got a pair of 2805s and use a Primaluna Dialogue HP. I can easily get 90+ db peaks with no sign of strain using the stock EL34 tubes. I also have a set of KT150s which are even better. Once a friend came over who also has Quads, listened t... | |
| Integrated amp for Vivid 1.5 Craig,I also have the Primaluna and about 4 months ago retubed with the kt150s. The sound is incredible.Your description of them running "cool," prompts me to ask; how cool?On my rig, the 150s are noticeably hotter than the EL34s they replaced.Th... | |
| Tube amps and heat I've got a Primaluna Dialogue HP integrated.It gets well into the 90's here and stays that way for weeks at a time. I've never really thought that it contributed that much to the heat of the room. Maybe I'm more tolerant of the heat, but to me i... | |
| Help! Subwoofer Newbie Problems! I have a pair of the e12s and like them a lot.I once had the very same problem going from the pre out to the subs. No sound, nothing at all.I discovered I had connected the IC to the "out" and not the "in."Dumb mistake, but crawling around on you... | |
| Subwoofer advice please glenn,Stacked 2805s? Sounds like a lot of fun, but at 8 feet high or so I doubt they would pass meet the "wife acceptance factor."Willemj and others, Thank you very much for your comments about what to do. After comparing the SVS to the REL, it ... | |
| Has Rel fallen out of favor with audiophiles? phusis,Thank you for your reply re: SVS subs. Well written, informative and best of all, is helping me decide which route to take!-- Bob | |
| Sealed subwoofer for ESL-63 Duke,I've got a pair of Quad 2805's. I love pretty much everything about them but I would like a bit more bottom end. I'm a jazz / funk guy with the emphasis on jazz.They are powered by a Primaluna Dialogue premium HP.What would you recommend f... | |
| Small room electrostat/ planar speaker? I have a friend who has a pair of Quad ’63s in about an 8x10 room. He also has about 2000 albums, 400-500 cds, electronics and a small couch. It sounds pretty good. Yes it’s not the best arrangement, but I’ve spent several hours listening all the... | |
| Very Bad purchase from upscale audio Acoustic Zen Adagio I've made three separate purchases from Kevin. All good.The first was a Prima Luna Dialogue HP. I sent an email asking a question about it and he called me the next day. We talked and I bought the amp. It arrived a few days later and I found t... | |
| Problem with CD Baby cds Update:I originally made two separate orders from CD Baby. The first order with two cds were the ones that were CDFS files. The second order with 4 cds were fine and played like a normal cd. I'm thinking now I will have to send a message to ask... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thanks for your comments "O." When I stumbled upon that Marsalis recording it completely tipped me over, in a good way.Bobrokid,I love, love love Gene Harris. I was lucky enough to see him once at Jazz Alley in Seattle. Ray Brown on bass and I ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados orpheus10,You said, " Nothing falls in or out of existence without a reason; the kind of jazz I call "fantastic", only exists in the past. If you can find some current jazz, that I would call fantastic I'll agree to that. "I mostly agree with ... |
