  1. For sale PrimaLuna EVO 200 Preamplifier. I purchased this unit to try with my Prologue Premium amplifier. I was very impressed so out of curiosity I purchased the EVO 400 amplifier and am now going to try the matching preamplifier as well. I want to try the matching EVO400 preamplifier with the balanced IC's but I could happily live with this EVO200. This unit has maybe 200 hours on it and is just over 2 months old. It is in excellent condition. Purchased new from Upscale audio. It will ship in the original triple box. The price is $2,495.00 OBO plus shipping Take PayPal but prefer Zelle for payment.
  2. I have had both and I think the 300 is worth the extra cost but the 200 is a very nice unit as well. The 300 is a little more transparent and has a more authoritative lower end. The Triode/Ultra Linear switch is a nice option as well but if your system is dialed in I have found that I do not really use it that often in my system because of how nice and open and extended the Ultra Linear is compared to the Triode. YMMV I am now using the EVO-200 preamplifier and the EVO-400 amplifier with good results and may move up to the EVO-300 preamplifier in the future if I get the itch but it sounds quite excellent as is for now.

  4. My eyes do not pick it up but the camera does.
  5. I recapped my Chorus crossovers about 6 weeks ago and I am extremely happy with the results using the JEM's. I am one to usually spend what it takes to get the best quality "upgraded" parts but after speaking with Dean, who has built me some amazing exotic crossovers in the past, I took his advice and replaced the caps with the JEM's. The speakers have a wonderful clear, full and balanced sound. No complaints at all.
  6. I welcome all of the discussions and recommendations for everything that could benefit from some dampening materials as well but I do have the original issue addressed.
  7. Looking for the best self stick product for inside audio equipment.
  8. It would be pretty boring if we all had the same equipment, tastes and opinions. I really enjoy reading how excited people are when they put together any level of equipment that brings them joy, I can relate to this.
  9. Audio is music is art which is subjective. I am happy for anyone who finds pleasure no matter what they are listening through and never understand criticising choices or products. My first set up was an emerson I think all in one turntable tuner and 8 track player with speakers from Ames dept store that was a christmas gift when I was probably 12 years old in the early 70's and was absolutely thrilled and thus began my love of all things audio.
  10. I was I hate to admit but the thought crossed my mind also.
  11. You will need a phono pre-amp as billybob stated suited to the type of phono cartridge you are using unless your turntable has one built in, it is not something that is typically part of a turntable, and it looks like you have an audio left and right input labeled audio 3 on the rear panel of your Yamaha. The speakers are connected to the speaker outputs labeled front L and R for stereo.
  12. I agree. I had the 60 as a demo until my monos came in and I honestly could have stopped there. I sold the Pass and went to the Coda amp and pre before I landed back here. I blame a lot of my wondering on Terry but I am done and happy. http://v2.stereotimes.com/post/coda-technologies-16.0-amplifier-by-terry-london
  13. That actually is the one rabbit hole I enjoy. It satisfies my tinkering itch and desire to try something different once in a while without major changes and expenses.
  14. I have heard the 60 it is a very nice unit. That is something I found also at times with break-in.
  15. Your journey mirrors mine except I started with Klipsch and went full circle and am back. I owned at one point Pass labs mono amps and there pre-amp and they were excellent. I can't resist tubes so that is where I have settled along with some original Chorus speakers. I would purchase the CW-4's if I was going new in a heartbeat, although I sure would like to see a new Chorus come back. It is so true how we get lost in listening to the equipment instead of the music and forget why we started this journey. Klipsch has a way of bringing you out from the darkness and you just listen to the music again.
  16. Looks fantastic, great job. I am anxious to hear your thoughts after some extended listening.
  17. I finally caved and let curiosity get the best of me and for the first time I decided to see how a sub would sound in a two channel set up, now technically 2.1. I had an SVS SB-16 Ultra in the room already that was connected to my second system I have for movies. I am in the beginning stages of adjusting it but so far it's pretty positive. It sure does fill in where the Chorus leave off. Preliminary settings seem to be best @ 180 degrees out of phase and negative polarity (much tighter and cleaner this way) and low pass @ 40hz. I will have to listen for a while and see how it settles on me.
