Choices narrowed Rogue RP-1 and Primaluna Prologue Premium Preamps
Thanks for info 
PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium Preamplifier. DESTROYS SPEAKERS!!
I agree. Bogus. The thing I was thinking was maybe they were expensive speakers with built in powered subs (I know Zu has some). Plus, Isn't a preamp just an audio signal pass thru? Any power would come from the amp itself? If a Tape deck blew up,...

You want to see real groupies...check out the Steve Hoffman Forum. There's some Kool-Aide drinkers over there

Why two threads? 
PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium Preamplifier. DESTROYS SPEAKERS!!
I would say Kudos to PL and Kevin Deal. I'm on the fence between 2 preamps and the Prologue premium is one of them (I'm going to start a thread about my choices). The dealer returned the preamps to PL and the Distributor (Kevin) actually called to... 
Don Sach's pre amp
Good topic . I have the Rogue RP1. I swapped the stock JJ's for Telefunken Tektronix, huge improvement . Also went to a Silnote power cord . I'm playing FLAC files through a Schiit DAC with Morrow MA5 interconnects . I wish I could find someone in... 
Tube amp for Zu Omen
I have always heard that Atma-Sphere amps/pres are outstanding with Zu speakers. I have a pair of Omen Defs and would love to find out once funds become available.  
$100,000 line stage
Those are some nice pre's.  
Sadly missed manufacturers
Akai from the reel to reel days. Akai also made wonderful cassette decks. I'm not certain the name is used on hi-fi components, but now mostly electronic musician equipment (drum machines, pads, etc) 
Has anyone heard the Nuforce P-20 Preamp?
Good info 
Who is the WORST Audio Shop?
What would be interesting is renting an exotic car abd pull up to the "pay to audition" places. Id be curious to see if the fee still applied 
Nuforce STA200
No problem. The amp is really special IMO. I was amazed how deep the low end goes (not in a bloated way). The top end is very smooth. I would say its maybe just a small tad on the warm side of neutral. Which is great for my ZU "super" tweeters. I’... 
$100,000 line stage
I agree, for $100,000 + MSRP, The chassis looks unattractive. I guess you have to compare it to a street legal race car. Very plain, just enough safety-emissions to be legal. Nothing pretty compared to a typical "dealership" exotic car.. You could... 
Nuforce STA200
Let us know how the passive and  the STA200 match us sound wise. Im considering a passive pre myself
