| Thoughts on Big Star @sbank I sent you a PM, Spencer. Needless to say, you got my attention! | |
| Thoughts on Big Star Yes, virtually everything they ever recorded is on Tidal, the three studio albums, as well as live performances and the Keep an Eye on the Sky box set, which has a ton of demos and outtakes for true fanatics. | |
| Thoughts on Big Star Big Star is one of my favorite bands and has been for nearly forty years. I consider all three of their studio albums essential--#1 Record, Radio City, and Third/Sister Lovers. All three albums sound very different, and I like them all. They are n... | |
| Tekton Electron has been released @evolvist--your sour grapes are beginning to ferment. | |
| Lyngdorf and Phono Stages Hi Dave,I made the move to the Lyngdorf TDAI-3400, and sold my DAC and integrated amp. I still have an Allnic H1201, so there are still some tubes in my system, and I must tell you that even though I was skeptical of how vinyl would sound through ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts I have owned three pairs of Tektons: the Double Impacts, the SEs, and now the Encores. In all three cases, the finish was just fine. I am particularly fond of the Encores done in Spanish Tile soft gloss. Some say the Tektons are ugly, but I think ... | |
| Counterfeit DL103? There really is no excuse for this kind of overt racism in the forum. Disgraceful. | |
| Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and it was ever thus. I brought in the Pure Audio Project Trio15 Horn1 speakers and thought they looked kind of cool, but my wife literally wept once we assembled them and she got a good look at them. ... | |
| Who has Luv for the Lyngdorf 2170 and is thinking about the 3400. Maybe there is some special synergy with the Lyngdorf and Tekton Encores--I think there are at least three of us now running the combo with overwhelmingly satisfactory results--but the one thing that this discussion demonstrates (as has been demon... | |
| We lost an audiophile and a friend- RIP- Joe Very sorry for your loss. He sounds like a nice fellow. RIP. | |
| Which integrated amp for better musicality - Parasound Hint vs Primaluna vs ??? @freesole I am reluctantly selling it. I bought a Lyngdorf 3400 and really love both of these units, but my room is a bit odd-shaped and benefits the room correction. It does not, however, have that SET magic that the Line Magnetic has. | |
| Which integrated amp for better musicality - Parasound Hint vs Primaluna vs ??? @bradf No, I have never taken off the panel or viewed the circuit, though I think there may be photos online that may tell you what you want to know.Sorry I can't be more helpful. Plga's appraisal of the LM 508's sound is on the money. | |
| Which integrated amp for better musicality - Parasound Hint vs Primaluna vs ??? @bradf I believe you can order replacement tubes directly from Arizona HiFi, instead of having to go through Line Magnetic. It would be worth a visit to their website, or a phone call. It was a very simple process for me, and the owner is a very c... | |
| Which band IS really America's Greatest (rock & roll band)? Agree on Steely Dan. I have always loved them, but when Walter Becker died I spent a few weeks listening to their albums over and over, coming to the conclusion that no American band has ever surpassed the quality of their albums, especially the f... | |
| Which integrated amp for better musicality - Parasound Hint vs Primaluna vs ??? @bradf It turns out that the stock tubes--even the 805--were not that expensive. I bought a replacement pair of 805s for about $90 each. I know some owners have replaced the 805 with much more expensive tubes, but I find that the stock tubes sound... |
