| Experience with Musical Fidelity X-10v3? I believe it's worth trying if you have an all ss system to inject a little tube warmth/holographics/liquidity into the mix without losing any detail.It's a fun experiment. You can always resell without losing a lot of your investment as I just di... | |
| Which speakers for mcintosh mc352 Joseph Audio Rm25si MkII's. 3500/pair.Their crossover technology invented by Richard Moddaferi of McIntosh fame. | |
| What Are Good Upgrade Tubes For a Jolida 1501RC? I believe I had NOS JAN Philips in mine when I owned it that were a very nice improvement over stock. | |
| What New Cartridge should I get for my VPI? If you don't want to change phonostage, get your husband a Sumiko Blackbird. Been throught the Grados and the Dyna's with the Scout and Blackbird takes the cake. Will work great with jazz, female vocals and just about everything else.Good luck.Vin... | |
| ZYX Airy 3x/SB vs. Dynavector XV-1 or 1s How many hours do you have on the ZYX?Break-in is crucial with this cart. | |
| $5000 or under speaker secommendations? Joseph Audio Rm25si MkII's.~$3500.00Haven't heard anything near its price range to compare if you want a traditional floorstander. Extraordinarily revealing, open, clear and big-sounding.Really worth seeking an audition. | |
| Juicy Music Blueberry Extreme tastings anyone? Am waiting on mine and will let you know in due time (meaning in next 2-3 weeks). Thinking about posting a review. | |
| Musical Fidelity X-10 Tube Buffer Stage If you've already got tubes somewhere in the chain, it won't make a huge difference, but otherwise, in an all solid state system, it will definitely give a liitle of that tube warmth and body. | |
| Tube amp suggestions for a Joule LA-200 I am running the Canary 301 with Joseph Audio Rm25si MkII's rated at 88db sensitivity and relatively benign impedance curve and it works well in a large listening room. Volume levels and bass control not an issue. The Canary is a very impressive a... | |
| Looking for phono stage recommendations Look at the K&K Audio phonostage with Lundahl stepup transformer(essentially identical to Art Audio Vinyl Reference). It is a solid state/tube hybrid (best of both worlds). I have been using mine with ZYX Airy 3 and it is the only component I ... | |

| Best Phono Pre for Teres I have a ZYX Airy 3 with the silver base. I have been using a K&K Audio phono stage (which is essentially an Art Audio Vinyl reference phono stage) It costs around 2k and is a hybrid tube/jfet design. IMO you get the best of both tubes and sol... | |
| Full range floor standing speaker???? 4K or so Joseph Audio Rm25si MkIIUnbelievably good If you have this much to spend and enough amp power, you owe it to yourself to audition. | |
| Meadowlark and Jolida compatible? I ran Jolida 1501 w/upgraded input tubes into the Swifts in a second system and thought the combo was excellent. Very nice sound. The Swifts would have worked with less power but I didn't mind having a little extra, better than too little. | |
| Anyone using a Sumiko Blackbird w/ Solid State? I think the Blackbird would work very well. I ran it into the A300, before changing to the A308, and it sounded nice, detailed but with a smooth top end, running a pair of Joseph Audio RM25si MkIIs. |
