| How much do large Vinyl collections go for these days? Great discussion! Ties right in with my recent post!! Thanks folks. | |
| KT88 tubes for Monos If it takes KT150s get the Tungsols from Upscale. I have used KT88, KT120, KT77, 6550, and EL34s in my PL Dialogue Premium and the 150s are great. Balanced and the midrange is sweet, no zingy top end and no bloated bass. | |
| How much gain is needed in a Phono Preamp for a 0.2 to 0.3mv low output moving coil? I have the Chinook and upgraded the tubes to Phillips NOS. Just bought my second Soundsmith Cart - the original Zephyr is on my VPI Scout 1.1 now (Zephyr is made for unipivot arm) and it sounds great. Have Primaluna pre and Dialogue Premium power... | |

| Classic el34 tube amps versus current models I am on my third Primaluna amp and have used EL34, KT88, KT77, KT120, 6550s and KT150s. Favorites are the 150s in triode mode, great mids, and EL34s. These two are keepers. Eyed many a 300b amp. Thanks gentlemen for this post. Learning so much on ... | |
| My journey to search for standmount bookshelf speakers... Used Spendor SP2/3s and tube amplification | |
| List of albums that will still be popular 50 years from now... Sevs, google the band Tauk and check them out, you might like. Also Perigeo, an Italian fusion band from the 70s. And Hawkwind (Nik Turner recent stuff also) Lemmy's origin is Hawkwind. And of course any early King Crimson. | |
| Shopping for new speakers You mentioned you dont want to listen to 'boxes' and 'wife acceptance' was important, speakers that 'disappear' (I assume imaging-wise and not visually). Audition some Martin Logans. I have the Electro Motion ESLs and really like them. Small footp... | |
| Using tube amp with electrostatic speakers. I power my ML Electromotion ESLs with a Primaluna Dialogue Premium power amp (not the HP model) with KT-150 tubes (24 watts triode mode and 48w ultralinear) and it sounds great and I prefer triode mode. I also use the same amp to drive a pair of S... | |

| Primaluna Dialogue Premium power amp vs. Dialogue Premium HP power amp? Thank you for the feedback. I bet the vintage 6L6's sound good. I like to run the amp in triode mode often and the 150s are great for that. Thanks again tablejockey. | |

All vinyl, stopped buying cds several years ago. Been in record stores in NY, Seatlle, CA, Prague (hit a goldmine there with ECM label) all around ... |
