Another tinnitus sufferer here, doesn't help that my drinks of choice are coffee and black Russians but sobeit. I still enjoy my system immensely but have set up a very nice headphone system, tube driven with the main source analog that seems to help keep the tinnitus at bay, if you will. The Primaluna mentioned, should be a great choice as I have never heard anything negative from their owners, with that said, do look at the Quicksiver Audio integrated tube amp. Quicksilver Audio, one of the all time best buys in audio, in my opinion. Enjoy the music
New Member And few questions on First Tube Amp.
Little about me.I am 67 and more into cars /cycles but enjoy music during winter months.
I have Tinnitus very bad and so I can not play music much over 70 db with high pitch horns ect.
But I have Marantz SR 8002 and had until last week Mirage M-5's. 28 yrs and did not realize how deteriorated
they become until someone sold a pair of Definitive Techogoly BP 8080ST and I could not beleive what I was missing
on sound.. All along thought it was my hearing..So now that I can hear music separation along with my ringing
it is a joy to hear more than I thought I would ever hear again.
So with that I want to just see if a tube amp will allow me to hear music flow from the speakers as others describe.
So not knowing anything I have a dealer not to far selling Prima Luna tubes and my question is I see tube amp and pre tube amp.. To try a tube amp can you run from just one of these components ??
Does Prima Luna have a all in one unit if I need a amp and pre amp ???
I do not mind spending few thousand, but not sure how long my hearing will last and so just want to
purchase low end just to see if I can hear a difference of tube vs solid state...thank you Joe
