| Which integrated amp for better musicality - Parasound Hint vs Primaluna vs ??? An observation on the Line Magnetics... they seem to deliver a lot of power. For example the LM=150iA is rated for 100 wpc with 2x KT150 per channel. This is driving the tubes a lot harder than the Primaluna. It may sound wonderful, even better ... | |
| Anyone try KT150 in Primaluna Dialogue Premium HP Yep, I completely agree about the Primaluna "smile-itis". Happens to me too! One thing I notice is that the longer I listen, the better it all sounds! I often wonder... is it because the tubes and everything is warming up and getting into its g... | |
| Anyone try KT150 in Primaluna Dialogue Premium HP By the way, I think it depends on your speakers. If they don't have a lot of bass, you may not notice the upgrade to KT150s. I have full range Revel F208 and I notice for sure. | |
| Anyone try KT150 in Primaluna Dialogue Premium HP Yes, I am still very happy with the KT150s. They increase the bass response, and the power they have helps deliver very tight, fast bass. Plus all the good midrange that the EL34s gave as well. Great all around tube! Highly recommended.As to t... | |
| EL 34 vs. KT 88 ---- What's the difference? +1 on Primaluna. It can use both tubes, plus many others including KT120, KT150, and others. | |
| Which integrated amp for better musicality - Parasound Hint vs Primaluna vs ??? Sorry my post appeared multiple times. I had some odd glitch with AGon. Are the KT150s a must? No. The stock EL34s are really nice. They have the wonderful midrange, and even the highs and lows are pretty nice. I had KT120s for a while, and ... | |
| Which integrated amp for better musicality - Parasound Hint vs Primaluna vs ??? I have been very happy with my Primaluna. I have the HP and have had it for about two years. It's fantastic. Before that I had a Dialogue One for four years. I was driving B&W 803s with the HP, and it worked very well, even given that the... | |
| End game speakers for Yamaha as2100 under 5k new or used Revel F208 can be found used for about $3k. There is a dealer demo set on the 'Gon right now. | |
| Speaker recommendation I had a set of B&W N803 for about 5 years, and N805 before those. I auditioned the Double Impact, and found them to be good, with nice soundstage, but not really smooth across various frequency ranges. I felt there was a bit of "suck out" in... | |
| Revel F228BE By the way, they sound fantastic! Huge upgrade over my previous B&W N803. | |
| Revel F228BE I just looked at the back of my F208s. The label says "Made in Indonesia". | |
| SPEAKERS, SPEAKERS AND MORE SPEAKERS.. BUT NEED BASS.? shinemaster OP5 posts09-24-2018 6:33pmSoix, fair enough :) Currently I am using a pair of B&W 805 Monitors.. tried Vandersteen 3 series, Dali and Sonus Faber venere series..At this moment my Dedicated audio room is 220 sf. I don't know about ... | |
| Opinions on these budget integrateds? I don't know these other amps, but I will say this. Don't write off the Primaluna Amps as "low power tubes". They have superb transformers, and they deliver the goods. I used my Dialogue to run B&W 803s, which are notoriously power hungry, ... | |
| A way to listen to a large collection I try to pick something unusual or that I haven’t listened to in a while. Then, next album should have a connection, and I look for new ones. For example, start with Tedeschi Trucks. Derek Trucks played with Allman Brothers. Next up, Allman Bros. ... | |
| LOOKING TO MAKE A TURNTABLE CHANGE, HOPEFULLY AN IMPROVEMENT I used to read this forum a lot more than I do now. This thread is a perfect example of why. OP hasn’t said what’s wrong with his system, or really even shared much about his equipment. Yet several supposed experts are telling him to go spend thou... |
