I was going to go to an ear specialist but you got me thinking I could go the non high end way first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Combined with an ear syringe this 'ear clear' works wonders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TOPSHELF Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 My beautiful hippy and organic loving wife made me try an ear wax candle once. Apart from singeing my listener and the awful smell it gave off it did absolutely nothing for my ailment... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have pretty much the same thing. I saw a specialist and he said that it didn't measure much worse that the "good" ear so it may be a perception due to the sensation for me. I dont notice any kind of balance issues between channels. He couldn't find anything "wrong" either. I suspect it is a long endured sinus problem as it clears up some times and comes back others. It is annoying though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to turn this thread into an old man's medical problem session but mine did go away once when I had some antibiotics for something else. I definitely have a reduction in hearing on the left. I work in oil and gas and have it tested every time I change jobs. I've got another one coming soon. Back on topic; My Devialet Original d' Atelier. I absolutely love how incredibly transparent that thing is. I can't wait to get a decent source and speakers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has so far beaten off all challengers and the fact that it is so easily tuneable for what ever genre of music you play on any given day by rolling the tubes from el34's right through to KT150's is such a bonus. The most impressive improvement though is had from changing out the two centre 12au7's to what ever replacement valve that works best for your ears, right now for me it's a NOS pair of French made Radiotechique 12au7's and the result in our system is just stunning. I can imagine changing out all other parts in our system eventually but I reckon the PL will stay even if I find a better amp along the journey. cheers Terry It’s been just over a year since I first commented in this thread and quite a few bits of gear have come and gone in that time and the upgraded levitating PrimaLuna HP Integrated is still easily my favourite bit of all time gear in my system. cheers Terry Edited February 19, 2019 by TerryO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wen Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Usually the last bit of gear you have bought, Quasimodo 40wpc, simple ,sweet as, well done Richard, was heading towards valves, this venture may be a long way off now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshall_SLX Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Ide say putting an RB2000 on my P9 was the most satisfying but i think the most significant in terms of getting the sound i want was the addition of Consonance Cyber 800 mono tube amps, love that EL34 sound, the Rega RS5 speakers really compliment it though but i cant see myself not having tube power amps from this point forwards.
