| Decent low-cost used phono amp I really enjoyed my Parasound Zphono with my Pro-ject Xpression and Shure V15VxMR till it got gakked | |
| Deciding on a phono preamp I'm using a Parasound zphono with my tube integrated Primaluna. Liked it better than the internal phono stage that was in the PL when i bought it. I have a Pro-ject Xperience 1 and have used a shure VMx15, Ortofon Super OM20 and a Grado Gold and t... | |
| The CD you most listened to back in 2007 ? People's Spring-Warsaw Village BandIt took me back to my polish roots and the days of punks concerts in the late 70's. Plus it sounds awesome through tubes | |
| Best drink while listening to your rig? Single Malt- Lagavulin or TaliskerBeer-depends on the mood but any good microWine- Warre's 1985 vintage port | |
| Triangle Speaker owners I just got a pair of Triangle Cometes and using them with my Primaluna PL2 w/Kt88 tubes. Nice range, imaging. | |
| How did we get into this crazy hobby? I was never really interested in music growing up. I listened to shortwave radio as an early teenager and other than buying a few albums over the years I mostly listened to FM radio. Finally bought a stereo when I was 23, shocked my then GF now wi... | |
| Von Schweikert VR-4JR Bi-Wire Kimber 8TC and just unravel it back into the length you need. I'm using Kimber in a 3/5 (high/low) set up. | |
| Budget Tuner Recommendations I did the same, buying an Onkyo t410 tuner for $20 at the local pawn shop then scored a very nice HK TU9600 for $70 a big jump in quality. I am however considering jumping up again since we listen to lots of radio. Sort of like dating :) | |
| crass to ask for feedback after a transaction? As a newbie to Audiogon last spring when I started to put my first real system together i always asked for feedback so i could build my rep. Everyone was great and as far as I can tell everyone left me feedback.Thanks | |
| Tube Amp recommendation I'll second the Primaluna, the PL2 allows you some variety of tubes (EL34. KT88, etc). I have hooked up an extra iBook and run iTunes and it sounds sweet. | |

| Integated amps with phono? I have a Primaluna PL2 with KT88 tubes and it had the phono stage built in and it was great. Sounded fine with my Pro-ject Xpression and Shure V15VxMR cart.I only got rid of it when i got a separate phono stage with my new TT. | |
| Rocky Mountain Audio Fest - compared to-- Its in Denver, its got to be fun. If anyone is going and likes a good martini and a funky place check out the Cruise Room in the Oxford Hotel in LoDo on 17 and Wazee. It opened the day Prohibition ended and has a very cool Art Deco interior |
