Tube rolling on PrimaLuna P2
oops, I think I remembered a previous post from you incorrectly or just assumed the EI's were new production. sorry! Yes, I plan to try power tubes but first I want to try some 12AX7's and the the AUs. I agree, 6550's would be the ticket. Although... 
What's The Best Blooming Tube Amp?
I've recently been playing my Tim Buckley cds on my Primaluna Prologue Two. These are cds for which I previously felt were poorly recorded. Tim's voice + vibes (the instrument) + 'primaluna' = heaven on earth. 
Tube rolling on PrimaLuna P2
Newbee, you didn't use NOS 12AX7 tubes though, right? You used EI 12AX7s. Did you try any other tubes? I have the Two and I'm thinking of trying some Mullards. 
Are Rotel amps and preamps any good?
I prefer NADs to Rotels. Like Phasecorrect said, I found Rotel's sound to be a little too thin and less musical. The NADs I have heard seemed a little more dynamic. NADS are cheaper. Additionally, I don't know if you need to spend 50% more to do b... 
AH Njoe Tjoeb 4000 or Consonance cd120 ??
Marketaux, one question: what do the Chinese (Opera) have over the French (Cairn)? ;-) 
tube amplifier auto bias- accurate?
Bin, yes there is a substitute. I'm using one! 
tube amplifier auto bias- accurate?
I have an autobiasing tube amp (Primaluna) and it sounds fantastic. I'm all for this "gimmick". Sorry, all I can give you here is my opinion. 
Anyone pay 1st price, Even if it's fair ? Poll
I don't understand these comments about Paypal. Since it costs money to use, shouldn't the person who *wants* to use Paypal pay the fees? Please help. 
Jolida JD100 vs MF A3.2 vs Ah Njoe Tjoeb 4000
Regarding the Njoe Tjoeb, I noticed improved PRAT after installing the upsampler. It was great before now its even better. I would definitely recommend the upsampler for what you are looking for. I can't speak for other options save the Rotel RCD-... 
Jolida JD-100A vs. Ah Njoe Tjoeb 4000
I've had the AH! for a month and am 20 hours into the process of breaking in the upsampler. The Njoe Tjoeb was brilliant before the upsampler and after 20 hours, I hear a distinct difference for the better. I love it! With respect to tube buffers/... 
What are the loopholes of sending COD to nonmemb.
Dave, speaking only for myself, I would never go to someone's place I don't know, have them come to my house, or meet them somewhere. I knew a guy who sold his corvette to someone. When the guy came to his house, he shot and killed him and stole t... 
Anyone pay 1st price, Even if it's fair ? Poll
NCsercs, what if you look at an item that is priced at $400. Yet the audiogon average is $200. Is $220 a lowball offer? "Lowball offer" is a vague and useless statement. Perhaps people should say: "I'm going to ignore emails where I determine the ... 
Were to go after a Rega Planet 2000?
R32657, did you come to the conclusion more expensive players are not worth it? Sometimes I think this. Please elaborate if you can.Nickway, try audio asylum. There's a guy over there with the same issue. heheehheee. 
Tweaks That Don't Work
When someone says something like, "the black is blacker", etc., my first thought is: specifically, how much? I'm not criticizing the words we have to use to describe such things but making things measurable would be a good start. Impossible, I know. 
PrimaLuna ProLogue One versus Two
I am using Axiom M60s with the Prologue Two. I could not be happier. Can't wait to upgrade tubes.
