Glad to have you here Dave and happy the music at su casa is sounding fine! It's great when it all comes together isn't it?
I was probably spinning some tunes yesterday about the same time and too was happy with some modest tweaking I had done (speaker placement and gain preamp tubes).
About that slippery slope.....just saw a Transcendent Sound Grounded Grid pre for $400....condition "9" and had to hide my bill fold🙃

How long have you had the amp Jeff? Is it under warranty? Is the retailer near by? Seems like with the problems you have reported it may be time for another set of eyes and ears. That's a bit of money to spend and it not sound right.
I have the PL Dialogue Premium HP. Just changed out the two tubes Fido is referring to (V11& V12) with some nos tubes from the 50s produced in Holland. Burning in as I type.
Good luck with getting it squared away!

Don't think so, but to the point where "Man that ended up being a small fortune. Glad it sounds fantastic, incremental upgrades did their job too. That's it for a decade or two."
Then I drool over the garage sale threads
Not my quote John.....grassshopper said that.

I am sure that our Dear Chuck and his Dearest Wife will have a great time at Lunch ,but , isn't Jake , oops Spanky Adorable -
Thanks Randy but that's my dearly missed Jake who passed away from cancer on March 2, of this year. He was also a Norwich Terrier, the smallest of the sporting breeds. Ratters in the old days.

Yep many times....but it's a hobby and fun to kick the tires now and then.

fully realizing that folks are in search of perfection in our sound systems///
Y'all ever get to the point of saying, "I guess that is how it is suppose to sound"?

Getting ready to spin Bella Fleck and The Flecktones. It's a new test CD to judge changes in my gear so I'm listening repeatedly so I can pick out nuances. Normally I would select Saxophone Colossus or Way Out West by Sonny Rollins.
The change will be two nos Amperex 12AU7s made in Holland late 50's early 60s that will go in the center positions of the PrimaLuna integrated. Not sold on tube rolling so we will see.......
Then taking LF to lunch on this sunny but chilly day.
So there you have it.....feel free to alert the press🙂

But may the PL Powerstage Tubes ( EL 34 ? ) will benefit by tuberolling the prestage 12 AU7 (?)
I have an octet of EL-34s but KT-120s are now installed. I ordered a matched pair of nos Amperex (orange world logo) 12AU7s from Brent Jesse this morning to replace the RCA clear tops.

Ok so the Masterpiece is a Preamp so it should have line level out. Does the PL have a line level in? Like an Aux in or a tuner in?
Yes it does. I was curious if the 300B tubes in the Transcendent pre would add anything positive to the PL integrated's power supply. May not be worth the effort.....

So we need more chatter you say? Not earth shaking but I did climb my 24' ladder up to to three areas of the 1.5 story house to blow leaves and pine straw off. Gutter guard does not help with straw! Walking up and down valleys is getting a bit scary for this soon to be 73 year old but my errand boy was busy.
On a happier note I ordered a matched pair of Amperex 12AU7s (orange world logo-Holland) from Brent Jesse this morning. Will try them in the two center positions of the PrimaLuna integrated. A bit of a skeptic about tube rolling I must say.
Lastly you may remember I bought the Transcendent Sound Masterpiece but it resides at my other house. Was wondering if I brought it here could I run the PL integrated through the Masterpiece pre amp? If so tell me how please.

I threw all my vinyl in a dumpster in 1983. No regrets. I ripped all my compact discs to flac in 2020, once again, no regrets. I don't use anything that spins. Too much effort involved. I just tap on a screen now. Life is good.
I'm just the opposite. Three turntables, three R2Rs, many hundred LPs and CDs and yes streaming too. The Sugar Cube takes care of the pops and tics with no loss of musical content. Love the involvement with my media and watching those big reels spin.

Eric you do know that BigStewMan is not a real person right? Many years ago several of us developed his persona and opened a forum account for him based on the life and career of a federal inmate named Sylvester Penrod. Penrod was doing time for maliciously smashing guitars and petty theft! A quirky guy who would go through the chow line and pocket those little packs of ketchup when no one was looking. I think he is now on the lam traveling up and down the west coast doing odd jobs and blogging on several forums.
So if you need help with your construction projects you will have better luck getting Rich and Carl to stop by.
Hope this helps😁

I met Roger at the 2018 Pilgrimage. Asked him about his screen name. He seemed surprised I didn't know what a twistedcrankcammer was😐 Nice guy gone too soon.

I've been looking for something along those lines but see nothing. Where can I resize the pic? I have a Samsung Galaxy S21.
Sorry but I'm on a tablet (Microsoft Surface) with windows 10. Files and pics in Explorer. Haven't had a cell phone since I retired 9 years ago so I'm no help there.

Ok, I dumped Tapatalk because I thought the forum was straightened out. Why can't I post a simple pic from my phone? It's just a pic of a GZ34 and it says that it exceeds 2 MB? What am I missing?
Thanks!
Go to edit feature and resize pic!

Any suggestions on how to promote this further? Price is on par with comparable sales.
Welcome to the forum!
Looks like the link has expired so maybe give some particulars.
