Aberyclark I remember Ronco which was right up there with Popiel. Never fell for the pocket fisherman though.
Why is there no love for Prima Luna?
I have noticed fairly negative comments on Prima Luna in various discussions. Granted, I’ve never heard their gear but they seem to offer quite a value proposition. Point to point wiring, auto bias, protection circuits, easy tube rolling, good parts and build quality. I had considered looking into the Evo series integrated but the brand seems to be downplayed on this forum. Anyone have direct experience as to why?

Cincyhound....I thought Popiel founded Ronco...I could be wrong. The pocket fisherman was a hit with some. My buddy, who was into fishing, tells a story when him and another buddy were teenagers. They drove to a local lake and my buddy had a big Zebco fishing rod/reel. Fancy set up. My other buddy just has his grandpa's pocket fisherman. Guess which one had fish biting all day. |

@tablejockey , I think that photo you linked to caused me confusion before. PL lists Mundorf capacitors yet the photo has DuRoche or SCR caps I think. I also think PL switch from DuRoche to Mundorf at some point. At any rate, at one point (a year ago) I opened mine up to do some cleaning and take a look around. I thought swapping caps was tougher than it should be because the case was really stuffed with parts. Maybe I'll open it again and take a look. I, too, wanted to upgrade caps. I have no issue with PL making decisions to limit part cost--they all do it. I would love to use these Polish caps -- they are moving into the radar out there and have gotten more expensive. https://www.partsconnexion.com/miflex.html. I think Don Sachs uses these too. |
