Last night, Mr. Deal assured me via e-mail that a refund has been issued to me. It is not being reflected in my account yet, but these things normally do take a few days. At this point, I would like...

Thank you for your words, Brian. We see things in the same way.

As I said, you are free to make up your own mind, of course. I know I made mine up. The way I see it, "beware" simply means "heads-up" or "be cautious". It does NOT mean "do NOT buy from...". I do...

...and to add to my reply above, if you read my previous posts in their entirety you will see that Kevin did admit that this issue (ie: sending the wrong tubes) did happen multiple times, to multiple...

You are, of course, free to believe what you choose to. Nobody has asked anybody to stop buying from anywhere. I was simply sharing my story. Everything I wrote is exactly as it happened. Please make...

You had much better luck than I did, it seems.

I had to call UPSCALE AUDIO again just now, since I was promised a FedEx return slip to ship the SECOND box back to them, but I had not received it yet. So I spoke to Kevin again and asked if he...

For the record, I just listened to a voice-mail message left on my phone by Mr. Deal last night (I am on the EAST coast, he is in CA). Long story short, he once again was only able to provide excuses...

Buyer BEWARE!

I'm sharing my own personal experience with UPSCALE AUDIO, who I'm sure need no further introduction in these pages. I thought about posting this on the TUBES sub-forum, but I...

I try to be the exception to many rules. :)

In all seriousness, if there's one thing I love about the Prima Luna is that it allows you to FORGET about a lot of the "audiophile" nonsense, and it...

As the very happy owner of a DiaLogue One, I'm curious about the HP as well. But I think for a small room the DiaLogue Premium is all one really needs. I'm hoping to upgrade to either or sometime in...

Well, that's how I TRULY felt as well, basically. But on my post in the previous page of this thread I tried to be a little bit more polite and considerate. :) I do agree with you, though.

Same here. All this teasing online for something that was probably completely sold out before it even existed... And what's with the dancing guy in the new Extrema commercial?

...

Same here. I tried a pair of Gold Lion 12AX7's in my Prima Luna. One was defective (noisy, and then died right away), and even while they worked they did not impress me either compared to the stock...

Miles, even though my amp can accept all the tube types described earlier, and then more, it was optimized for EL-34's, so I suppose that explains my preference in this case. Ideally, I would prefer...

A few months after starting it, I'm coming back to this thread to share a recent experience. In short: after experimenting with the Gold Lion KT-88's and Tung Sol KT-120's in my Prima Luna DiaLogue...

I'm 100% in agreement!

Besides being a music lover, I have also been a Home Theater aficionado since I was a teenager, back in the good old LaserDisc days and Dolby Pro-Logic soundtracks. My first surround receiver was a...

Thanks, Mike. No, I did not notice any increase in power whatsoever. I actually wasn't expecting one, since I know the Prima Luna amps run the tubes very conservatively, but I was hoping for a little...

Nothing but great things to say about my DiaLogue One integrated!

What's everybody's experience with the KT-120 like? I heard nothing but raves from all corners of the audiophile world about this new power tube. Recently, Prima Luna officially announced that all...

I'm afraid I have not tried the analog outs of the 103, since I only use it as a BD/DVD player. HDMI out only. Mine is also modified for region-free/code-free playback. I use it exclusively for...

Looks great! Thanks for the heads-up. I was not aware of this option. Glad I waited... Still very happy with my 95 and my region-free 103, though. I'll probably keep waiting for the inevitable...

Thank you, Bob! And, yes, being so susceptible to fan noise is a curse!:)

Compared to the ST50, the ST60 offers considerably more calibration options, has much better blacks (very close to the VT60, in fact), a 96HZ mode and comes with 2 pairs of 3D glasses. It's an...
