PrimaLuna Prologue 1 or 2?
What are your speakers' sensitivity and impedance specs? 
what is good sound ?
Webster's Dictionary agrees with Mrtennis, and defines accurate as:1.free from errorLoudspeakers, and all audio gear have varying degrees of inaccuracy. 
PrimaLuna Prologue 1 or 2?
IMHO [the Prologue 1] is the more balanced, tonally speaking, of the two units but you will find the bass a bit less resolved and the highs are a tad softer. Good luck with your choice.Newbee (System | Threads | Answers)Do you suppose this is beca... 
Tube Friendly Speakers - Down to 30Hz - $3000?
Here's a dumb question...maybe not so dumb. If a major part of my goal is easy to drive, high impedance loudspeakers, then why not use Speltz Zero-autoformers to double or quadruple the impedance of my VR4 Gen III HSE loudspeakers, rather than buy... 
Stupid question about power cables ...
I have used many three conductor power cords on gear that has two pronged EIC with no ill effects. I have had many more problems using two conductor, ungrounded power cords (hum...).Member Subaruguru used to sell his "ErnieM" power cord kits with ...

what is good sound ?

I thought with this thread people would jump onto their keyboards to sing the praises of the best XA - full range combo they have heard. GregGandme (Threads | Answers)Twenty five days into the thread, and what you expected is clearly not going to ...

Boa,Bartokfan....I don't find myself inclined to contribute to a thread if I have no interest in the subject. You have obviously involved yourself in this decussion with no interest but disruption. If you don't care for the "Pass sound" why waste ...

Cayin. That's a funny soundin' name. Sounds like pepper. Hot-n-spicy pepper. Like Tabasco. I would never buy gear that's hot-n-spicy...or made by Tabasco. Cayin...what a silly, nonsensical name for an audio lab.Cayin 17? Cayin keeps makin' the mod...
