| What direction is VPI headed? ...for those with problems with their VPI unipivot....they make a 2nd pivot which makes the arm as stable as any and improves the class A sound of the 3D version as well. I have it installed on my Prime and with all due respect to Harry and Mat... | |
| Just retired and want to get back to vinyl listening Fson... in your paradigms - where are the Luxman - Accuphase SS class A types fit -- These are SS but do not seems all that "powerful" relative to most of the other SS offerings That's a great question. When I brought up the concept of "tried a... | |
| Just retired and want to get back to vinyl listening Well, I happen to think this thread has an incredible amount of bad information. One poster says "Tekton DI's are all the rage these days and many people are selling their far more expensive speakers for them", and suggests they merit strong consi... | |
| Wonderful visit and 5-star customer service at Audio Doctor in Jersey City, NJ! This debate has gone on for decades. I don't agree with this constant harping on Sonos and the blaming of lazy-minded Millenials. There have been easy cheap alternatives for thirty plus years, probably more. The truth, in my very humble opinion, i... | |
| Wonderful visit and 5-star customer service at Audio Doctor in Jersey City, NJ! Allowing interenet sales is dooming many industries into a downward spiral getting people into stores all stores needs to be embraced, for the only way for people to purchase better anythings is to be introduced to them in a meaningful way. It ... | |
| Just retired and want to get back to vinyl listening Ralph-I just want to take this opportunity to thank you for being the resource that you are. You lend a tremendous amount of reliable information in simple layman's terms to this Board. | |
| Just retired and want to get back to vinyl listening Most phono cartridges are inherently balanced; they have separate left, right, grounds and shield. There are many fine, truly balanced phono stages, such as Audio Research, and a good argument can be made that the phono section is the most benef... | |
| Just retired and want to get back to vinyl listening They do have balanced outputs - don't let the RCA connectors fool you. And you can feed those balanced outputs into a balanced phono preamplifier - some of which also use RCA connectors on the input. OK, you will have to explain this one to me... | |
| Just retired and want to get back to vinyl listening I do have a question -- if folks would be so kind -- about pro/cons on using the rca line inputs - outputs versus the balanced I/O on some of these equipment pieces -- I have no experience at all on the balance I/O - thoughts? The simple answer... | |
| PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium Preamplifier. DESTROYS SPEAKERS!! btw how picky on placement do you find the 0/93s -- how far out from the wall -- how far apart - anything between I should check my Monroney sticker, but yes I think so. It replaced a 2014 Golf TDI built in Germany and other than the windshield an... | |
| PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium Preamplifier. DESTROYS SPEAKERS!! I am not defending PL. I don't own an PL gear. I think it fairly clear that KD is acknowledging a problem with the OP's preamps. My protest is with respect to the over-arching demand that every piece of PL gear be recalled and inspected. Chicken L... | |
| PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium Preamplifier. DESTROYS SPEAKERS!! Awwww geez louise where does the madness end? This "lbocquin" has come here with his very first post and splintered English and confirmed we do indeed have a sea of defective products out there just waiting to combust our draperies and homes. But ... | |
| Just retired and want to get back to vinyl listening Ralph, don't take the bait. Industry insiders tend to shy away from enthusiast boards because of being abused. I have seen this happen again and again on a popular wine board-winemakers pitch in with their wealth of knowledge and get accused of sh... | |
| PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium Preamplifier. DESTROYS SPEAKERS!! I am not looking for my $30,000. speakers to be replaced, I am NOT looking for compensation for my time lost and aggravation.I have never, during this whole episode, asked for ANY KIND of compensation from PrimaLuna.I understand, what happened he... | |
| PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium Preamplifier. DESTROYS SPEAKERS!! Well George, what do you have to say now? Let me guess; you will continue to insist that it was all PL's fault and not Bryston's. I must admit not understanding why-as mentioned by Kevin, ML would handle this under warranty-how is this a failure o... |
