+1. Always. Why would one not IF DONE PROPERLY?

Last price drop, great price.

Bring back the L300 Summit and then they would be onto something. Cost aside though I am sure.

Bump

SOLD.

Changed the gear in my signature to reflect current system. Living in a rental home until our home is ready for re-occupancy in February. Don't want to go through all the mounting and set-up, etc. for something temporary. Plus we do not really have the room in this house. I have gone from MC and associated equipment back to MM. I figured that was good enough to suck me into this hobby in the late sixties, early seventies so it should be good enough now. The Lehmann is the first phonostage I have owned that will be strictly for MM. I was also attracted to the separate PS. My previous experience with MC only stages in my system included the Simaudio Moon with PS(solid-state), the Coincident Statement(tube), the Allnic H-1201(tube), Manley Chinook(tube) and the Zesto Andros(tube). The rest of my system was considerably more "high end" than it is now also but I know I will enjoy the new version very much as well. The Allnic gear is some of my all-time favorite stuff. Sounds fantastic, great to look at and extremely well built. I would get into it again if I had the dough. The Coincident was a very nice phonostage as well.

After reading everything I could get my hands on about the Lehmann I bought one three weeks ago. Have not hooked it up yet so no review, sorry. Can't hook it up yet as we are still in a rental after the fire. Going to be using it with a Sound-Smith HO Zephyr MkIII into a PrimaLuna integrated. Looking forward to hearing it.

Still using it Dean. Just purchased a Lehmann phonostage week before last as a matter of fact. Sold my Marantz PM-11S1 there about a month or so ago as well.

I have had good success misting them with a pump spray bottle and hitting them with a hair dryer.

Yes, absolutely! I thought everyone had seen the commercial by now. I love it!

Dilly Dilly!

Good stuff, eh Deano?

I use Simple Green on all my horns. Scrub them with a soft brush and rinse them with a garden hose. Towel dry them or let them air dry. Depends on the time of year. Does not harm the finish and makes the job very easy. I only repaint if I think it will make a huge difference. You can use this method on certain grilles also. Material dependent. It can make some of the older grilles look brand new. If I use this method on a set of Khorns I am restoring/rebuilding for example, I just spray on the Simple Green, let it sit for a couple minutes, lightly scrub them and rinse them off. The frames are painted so they are somewhat protected but I blow off the excess water right after cleaning with a compressor so it does not just sit on the wood. Helps the fabric dry faster too. If I do not think they will come back to "as new" with a cleaning I of course replace the fabric. I have plenty of factory black and brown cloth that I bought from Ralph at DuraCrest many moons ago. Just my .02

Was looking for a tube integrated pretty much around the clock all this week after selling my Marantz PM-11S1. After crossing the Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum II and a used Audio Research off the list it came down to the CAV45 or Primaluna Dialogue One. Wound up with an open box Primaluna for $1799.00 yesterday afternoon. Unfortunately due to my location auditioning anything prior to purchase ain't gonna happen. I hope I made the right choice. I am a vinyl only guy and did not want to take any chances on any problems, noise or otherwise using a phono stage with the passive CJ. Plus I have heard and read nothing but great things about Primaluna and I have always enjoyed working with Kevin or Craig from Upscale Audio. https://www.upscaleaudio.com/collections/primaluna/products/primaluna-dialogue-one-integrated-amplifier

Too bad, awesome looking speaker. Why not put a passive version together?

By Golly, I believe you should be too! There ya go.

Love me some Klugh on MoFi Vinyl!

Let us not forget Ronnie Montrose, Peter Frampton and Steve Howe. All under rated in my opinion.

Yes it is! Pictures don't do it justice. Typical sexy Marantz. Thanks.

How do you like the Psvane KT-88's?

Oops. Changed price. Used the price I had in mind for Audiogon when I listed it. Lower price for forum.

SOLD! BEAUTIFUL looks and sound! Marantz PM-11S1 Solid-State Integrated. 100Wx2 (8 ohms). Truly flawless, pristine condition. Built like a tank Very smooth sounding unit. As tubey as solid state can get. No grain, no grit, great deep tight bass with a lush mid-range and smooth extended highs. Sounds incredible with my La Scalas and did with my Khorns too! This is the best sounding Solid-State piece I have ever had by far. You will LOVE it. Been away from tubes for about two years and want to go back. Wish I could afford to get back into tubes AND keep the Marantz, can't swing it. Comes with original remote, manual and power corn which are also pristine. I DO NOT have the box. Son ran over with the car and crushed when I was re-arranging the garage last year. Will pack well. I am the second owner. Owned for two years.
