| Cary CD 306 SACD player vs newer Marantz SA 10 CD/SACD player Your experience makes sense. The Cary 306 SACD Pro, i'm sure, was developed to be used with Cary amplification, which I have owned, which is lovely sounding and indeed on the warm side. I'm using a Line Magnetic LM 845 Premium tube integrated amp... | |
| Cary CD 306 SACD player vs newer Marantz SA 10 CD/SACD player I faced the quandary you faced. MY Cary CD 306 SACD Pro stopped working after 16 wonderful years. Here on Audiogon I bought a used Marantz SA 10 CD/SACD. The Marantz was so superior to the Cary I never even bothered to take the trouble to A/B the... | |
| Linlai Elite vs Psvane Acme 845 I have the Line Magnetic 845 Premium which uses a pair of 845's & 300B's. I will say that the Linlai Elite E-845s have taken a very long time to sound good for me. It took about 75 hours for me to begin to like them. I do like them quite a bit... | |
| Why is there no love for Prima Luna? I had the PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium HP Integrated for many years and really enjoyed it. It was surely a step up from the Cary SLI80 I had been using. I listen to classical and acoustic jazz. My only problem was that the sound seemed somewhat dry ... | |
| Best integrated up to $6000 I had a Primaluna Dialogue HP with KT150's and Nos Amperex and Tungsgram tubes for a few years. The Line Magnetic 805ia with stock tubes killed it. I didn’t even need to A/B them. The HP is powerful, but the Line Magnetic, at half the rated power,... | |
| Primaluna DiaLogue HP Integrated Vs Line Magnetic 845ai I have the Primaluna Dialogue HP Integrated with KT 150's and NOS tubes. The Line Magnetic 805 I bought was so much better than the Primaluna that there was no point in A/B ing them. I just immediately boxed up the Primaluna for sale. The Lane Mag... | |
| Primaluna Dialogue poremium, Rogue Cronus Magnum II or Jolida 801...who can advise me? I have the PL HP and love it. No muss no fuss. I would also highly suggest the KT150's... soundstage, imaging, power, extended sweet highs, bass response, and midrange to die for. | |
| Picking a Tube integrated amp Traded in my Cary sli80 for PL Dialogue HP and have never looked back. The KT 150's sound great in them. | |
| Tube Integrated Amp to Drive Floorstanding Speakers? I’m going to add another voice in favor of the Primmaluna Dialogue HP Integrated. I upgraded to the KT 150’s and haven’t looked back. I have Dali Epicon 6’s and have rarely passed 12:00 on the volume. These 43 inch speakers are driven quite well b... | |
| Very Bad purchase from upscale audio Acoustic Zen Adagio Sorry to hear about this situation. I bought a used amp that was used from Kevin Deal at Upscale Audio. When I alerted him that the amp was defective he was a total gentleman, apologized, and had me send back the amp... no hassles. I'm sorry this ... |
