I had a PrimaLuna HP Integrated (using 88’s and upgraded pre tubes) and replaced it with a KWM-88 Integrated Amplifier. I loved the PL until the KWM-88 Integrated Amp blew the PL away. My speakers aren’t too efficient and I wanted more to drive th... 
Vintage tubes - facts, science, technology & empirical evidence VS. marketing, myth & hype
1.) One thing I wonder about is tube environment and it’s coloration of sound performance.The military spec tubes were mostly all enclosed where as our uses mostly display the tubes. Heat is work and work is heat. It would be a fair assumption tha...

Can we talk about Qobuz for a minute
I have over 200 playlists I made on Qobuz. The interface (using a Lunin) isn’t tip top but it works well. SQ is excellent. Free trial.

Is it worth replacing an old amp?
While you are trying out amps please consider Tubes.  
What is the most important component to consider while building a new system?
+101 Room/Speakers. Then the best you can get to go with ‘em. Praise Jah. + 1001 on a partner who lets you do what ever you want and can afford to do. Don’t ask, don’t tell also acceptable. 
any suggestions on what to replace Bluesound Node 2i with
I’m a very happy T2 user. Don’t forget it’s everything, especially including the room, that effects sound. The T2 has a good DAC chip in it. A DAC is mandatory. Don’t rock out at home with out one. You might find not much a difference between any ...
