Primaluna Dialogue Premium preamplifier vs Conrad Johnson ET5 (or CT5) preamplifier
@awise1961 Certainly the comparison with a GAT and a pair of LP275M is merciless and impossible for any Primaluna product, being in any case very distant also in terms of price ranges and market segment. I was wondering if even with a less valuabl... 
Primaluna Dialogue Premium preamplifier vs Conrad Johnson ET5 (or CT5) preamplifier

New Scansonic MB2.5B vs older MB2.5
After about 3 months that I have the new MB2.5B at home, I can only speak well of these speakers. After a break-in period of over 200 hours these speakers have become delicious. Large opening at the top, excellent bass and medium persuasive. Excel...
