| Jolida JD-9 MC-High issue with severe distortion/clipping Agreed, yogi. I had the JD9 for 7 years, and loved it. I had the Dynavector 10x5 at 2.5mv. I used the MM setting, lowest amount of gain, and used the high output RCAs. The reason is that the high output is the standard level, while the low output ... | |
| Primaluna Dialogue Premium or Premium HP? Oh, and you asked about musical preference. We listen to classic rock, blues. I could always hear this fuzzy sound with Mark Knopfler, or Rickie Lee Jones, for example. | |
| Primaluna Dialogue Premium or Premium HP? I think the best way I could describe it is that it sounded like there was "fuzz" around the vocals. The highs were there, and could be crispy and nice... but sometimes it would sound a little biting or harsh such that it made you turn it down a ... | |
| Primaluna Dialogue Premium or Premium HP? I used the EL34 for a while, and liked them. I also tried KT120 but I found they had a bit of "glare" to them. I tried a lot of things to make it better, and they sounded good, but not as sweet as the EL34. Moving to the KT150 is the best of bo... | |
| Primaluna Dialogue Premium or Premium HP? I can't help with your comparison. However, as to cost of ownership, the thing you may want to consider is the number of tubes. I upgraded my HP integrated to KT150 and I'm very happy with it. Extra power for larger, hungrier speakers, and it s... | |
| Phono stage can minimize tics and pops on vinyl @atmasphere yes, thank you for the great explanation!@hifiman5 yes, I experienced the same phenomenon when I added the Manley Chinook into my rig. Due to an unfortunate incident, I ended up also changing the cartridge to the AT ART9 with a Line C... | |
| Prima Luna Integrated - EL34, KT88, KT150, Brimar AU - My experience Bruce, I think you need to let the KT150s settle in for at least 100 hours. I noticed that they change the most in the first 50, but will still settle in more for upwards of 200 hours. I did that same thing you are... swapping things around. I ... | |
| MC cartridge input - Lyra Delos or AT Art9 (or higher AT) I don't know the Delos. But, I do have an ART9 and love it. Considering the price is almost double, I'd go with the ART9 again. I upgraded from Blue Point #2, then Dynavector 10x5, and the ART is significantly better than those. I'm sure the D... | |
| How do I find an audio advisor who does home consultations? Note there is a typo in ptrck887's post above with the link.Here's the right one http://www.audiosystemsoptimized.com/ and it is a great read. Thanks for sharing. I'd really like a consultation like this too... but I couldn't afford to fly him i... | |
| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic @t_ramey thanks for sharing the ad. Still, the ad points right back to this thread as proof of its effectiveness. All well and good, and I am in no way disputing if the product works or not. Just saying this thread is a commercial with some fan... | |
| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic fleschler275 posts06-08-2018 4:13pmWhy is it that so many GON forums are for the purpose of conversation concerning various audio products? Are they also in violation of the forum "code"? What purpose are the forums if one cannot write about a pro... | |
| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic @oregonpapa It seems like you have appointed yourself as the moderator and now you are deciding who should be thrown out. I don't think that's how it works, bud. I've been lurking on this thread, and I read a lot of it. Now, I'm commenting, so ... | |
| Fraud Alert: Audio Zoom Zoom, Netherlands Sorry to hear this. I agree it doesn't look good. I notice that everything is expensive, which means fewer buyers, which means it's harder to find feedback on the company. I bet if he "sells" that $1.4M Bentley, he will close up the shop and be... | |
