| Tekton Lore ...... compare with Vandy 1C I've owned the Vandy 1C as well as the 2CE. Today I own the Tekon Lore as well as the 4.5s among others. Let me state that I loved my time with the Vandy's. But now, in most situations I would choose the Lore. In my set-up, Cary V12 or Primaluna D... | |
| Upscale Audio -- Tubes and Reliability Another vote for Kevin at Upscale, got my Primaluna 1 there, a real no hassle excellent experience. | |
| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore Do yourself a favor and buy the M-Lores for only $649.00. Save some money. See the Stereomojo and Enjoy thecMusic reviews. | |
| ARC VSi60 vs PrimaLuna Integrated Amps My brother just alerted me to the fact that I confused my old ARC integrated with the new vsi60 integrated. Sorry for this mix-up. I must be going dotty and feel foolish. My comments on the Primaluna stand, but I have not listened to the new ARC. | |
| Zu Druids compared to Tekton Lore Speakers I own the Tekton Lores and the bass is very good. I believe almost all the posters on Audiogon have reported really good bass and have few complaints in general. Zmanastronomy owned the Lores and paired them with the Almarro 318. I hope he chimes ... | |
| ARC VSi60 vs PrimaLuna Integrated Amps My Primaluna has been extremely reliable, never a problem. I also have several friends who own various models and also no problems. And, to disagree with poster above I like the sound of the Primaluna in my system as I have it configured much bett... | |
| Primaluna tube gear I'm extremely happy with my Dialogue1. I also currently own two Cary amps, a V12 and 300B SEI. Over the years I have owned many top brands including ARC, a RM10, Forte 4, and so forth. The Primaluna amps travel in that company. High build quality,... | |
| ARC VSi60 vs PrimaLuna Integrated Amps In the past I owned the ARC vsi60e and paired it most often with the Vandersteen 2ce and that combo was a superlative match. Never any problems or issues. Currently I own a Primaluna Dialogue 1and use it in my office system. Today I would choose t... | |
| S.S. Replacement for Jolida 302B w/ Silverlines? Lloydelee21, if I ever wanted to return to SS (not gonna happen) the Forte4 and Audible Illusions 3 (owned both together years ago) was sweet and a synergistic match with my Vandy 2ce's and Sound Dynamic 300ti. Nice recommend, brings back some fon... | |
| Looking for low-watt tube amp suggestions. Almarro 205, Sophia Baby, Line Magnetic EL 84. I also had a nice run with the Jolida FX10 that I sold recently. Tube upgrades are important as well as speaker matching (above 92db with benign 8 ohm impedance). With the right speakers these units c... | |
| Best 5751 tubes? So far in my system I like the Sylvania 3 mica grey and black plates the best, very balanced top to bottom, just sounds right, extremely musical. | |
| Pubul57- audiophile, philosopher, and friend Paul is in my thoughts and prayers. Always read his posts with great interest. RIP to a AudiogonN good-guy, you will missed. | |
| Thoughts on Amperex PQ tubes Mechans,Thank you so much for the 7316 recommendation a while back. I finally found 2 NOS pair and they are fabulous. I also have a nice small collection of Amperex 12au7 Bugle Boys and orange lettered amperex tubes for my preamp section of my Pri... | |
| Another what preamp to get thread Quicksilver is the one to get plain and simple. | |
| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore The Belles A150 is a terrific solid state amp and I generally do not like SS all that much. I cringe at the thought of the Crown, generally a piece that drove me up the wall with horrible sound in the 70s. |
