| I’m gob smacked. What were you’re aha moments? going back to tubed amplification from a Class D amp. I'm never going back to SS. | |
| Home owner's insurance question Lowrider, it might be possible to have an endorsement or "rider"on your policy with a separate schedule and itemized values but I've only seen this done for jewelry, art work etc. Interesting question.Larry | |

| Tekton DI with PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium I have a PL Dialogue integrated....really like the amp, it has way more power than the specs suggest. BTW, IMO the stock EL34 tubes do not sound harsh at top end frequency extremes as some have suggested. Good luck on your search. | |
| streaming DACs around $4k I'm in the same mode as I'm currently using an Oppo Sonica that only gives me Tidal and Spotify access. I'd like to have Quobuz and Roon availability. The GUI app has to be very easy and effective to use. | |
| Home owner's insurance question the way it works with most insurers is they will pay up front the depreciated cost of your gear and then pay the remainder of the "replacement cost" when you show proof of purchase....some carriers just pay the whole thing up front. I would discus... | |
| Looking for great tube integrated for Martin Logan Summit X speakers I owned Martin Logan SL3s for many years and used a BAT VK500 ss amp....the Stat panels dip real low in impedance. I also heard the those Logans with a 35 watt tube amp and the sound staging was surreal so I guess it depends on the damping factor ... | |
| Why the facination with integrated amps? I used to favor many "boxes" in my system then had a sea change toward simplicity and less boxes....now I use a tube integrated fed by a streamer DAC...I'm very satisfied. | |
| Esoteric A100 Service Nightmare Suggest you put in a claim with your Homeowner's Insurance company. Get docs to show unit is not repairable. If you have replacement cost coverage, you'll get the money you need to replace the unit.Larry | |
| Tube amp buzz (amp, not speakers) Boriso,Holographic IMO means spatial characteristics where the instruments and voices are clearly delineated. If you go Emotiva you will regret it if you value those traits I described. I found the Almarro easy to tube roll by swapping out the 6SN... | |

| Bad case of upgrade fever SMills,I now run a PrimaLuna Dialogue integrated. It sounds wonderful. I have sensitive speakers and don't need the HP model power.I came back to tubes after a 5 year absence and had owned an Almarro 318B SET amp, BAT VK60 and a Consonance push-pu... | |
| Tube amp buzz (amp, not speakers) I used to own that amp. Holographic sound for sure. I always got a system "hum" when switching it on, even with a dedicated line and a power conditioner. Occasionally a transformer would buzz and I'd just unplug the unit and power up another time.... | |
| Streaming music- not the end all music solution but one main advantage? Streaming is my main source of music. If you'd told me ten years ago this would be my primary music source I'd have been shocked. I like Tidal and would like to try Quobuz and Roon someday. |
