| Speaker advice for listening to Blues music I figured I'll do an update on my speaker search. I've done some of what was suggested here, added another 200-300 hours on my system, replaced power cords on the source and amp, added a Hydra 2 which I picked up here and only have the PrimaLuna ... | |
| can you add tone controls to a primaluna HP integrated amp Another vote for the Loki, I use it between my source and a PrimaLuna Prologue Premium Integrated, it lets me enjoy listening to some recordings that are too bright and thin sounding. I have a very simple system and have it dialed in, great record... | |
