Primaluna Dialogue One or Line Magnetic 218IA?

Is there anything you are finding lacking in the LM?

A good question. Not really, it is more of a matter of wondering if I am missing out on anything I am unaware of in the Dialogue.

IMO, I would give the Primaluna a spin. Just look as the potential restocking fee as the cost of doing business. An audition in your space is worth paying for IME.

While I do like the idea of a home trial when you're gonna spend a few grand on something, if it were me I'd find it hard to send back the primaluna if I essentially invested a few hundred on a demo. I am satisfied with the LM 211, and have enjoyed listening to the dialogue at a local shop. Then again i've posted a thread wondering what exactly differentiates all these $1500-2000 chinese built el34 or kt88 integrates as I find them to be pretty close in sound to each other.

Add the Melody MK88 to your considerations. I owned the Dialogue 2 and think the mk88 may have been better. I'm pretty sure if it, but my speakers changed in between listens.
