My new (to me) space heater
« on: December 12, 2009, 03:46:44 PM »
Picked this integrated tube amp up from Audiogon in recent months.  It is a PrimaLuna Dialogue Two.  Rolled some new Genalex Gold Lion KT-88s and NOS Mullard 12AU7s into it today.  Have some NOS Mullard 12AX7s coming for Christmas (at least that is what I asked for  ;D).

Not nearly as many BTUs as the Rogue M-120 monoblocks in the other man-cave system.

How do you like the Genelex Gold Lion, the Amp I just received I had the option of Genelex KT-88s or Vintage Silver Eagle KT-88s. I went with the Silver Eagles.

I am planing on swopping them out and replacing them with Shuguang Treasure Black Bottle tubes, they are on order. :D

Hello Brian,

I like the Gold Lions just fine.  The only thing I've compared them to in this amp was some NOS RFT Siemens EL34s.  The Gold Lions have better bass, probably partially because they are a higher power tube than the EL34s.
