You gotta live!

Like your schiit. Love the Primaluna. My wife's out shopping. Cranking my Line Magnetic right now.

Thanks. I’m really happy with my system. I don’t think it could sound much better unless I had $10K to spend. Even then it’s diminished returns at some point. Which Line Magnetic do you have? Any tube recommendations? I’ve only tried what came with the amp and some KT120s.

I have an LM-508. I haven’t played with tubes on that one much. I also have a Primaluna Dialogue One, basically an older version of yours. My absolute favorite tube I tried is the Sofia Electric EL-34. I also liked the Gold Lion KT-77 and their KT-88. I had the 120’s but didn’t love the sound. I preferred the EL-34 tubes. I’ll probably have these tubes up for sale in a month or so if you’re intested in any.

And here I am having a later half MCU mini-marathon ramping up to see Endgame again while the family is gone for the weekend lol

See Endgame whether you're an armchair or hardcore fan; it's brilliant and so much fun :)

Lots of headphone gear I’ll leave out. Speakers are Monitor Audio Silver 300s and Wharfedale Reva2s. PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium Integrated and mostly vinyl. The Wharfedales are usually upstairs in my office and I love them whenever I listen to them but they just can’t compete with the Monitor Audios, which are obviously floor standing and twice as expensive so not exactly a fair comparison.

What?? Audirvana finally released their update for the new UI for MacOS?? Or are you a beta tester? I have been waiting for half a year for them to release this. Hate the old UI.

I’m not sure when it came out. I just installed it today.

I have to ask, since I'm about to pull the trigger on one soon: how do you like the Valhalla? I'm a 600 owner.
