Linear Tube Audio at Axpona
Thanks Lance for your comments on the sound differences between the ZOTL and Decware amps-much appreciated-by the way I hooked up the MZ2 to the HR-1 speakers and was shocked at how well the MZ2 drove those speakers-not only was the volume suffici... 
Linear Tube Audio at Axpona
I just received this week a pair of Decware HR-1 speakers.  I am considering purchasing either a Decware amp like the TorIll Jr or Torll Mk4.  I am also considering  a ZOTL10.  I own the MZ2 and love that amp.  Lancelock, I saw from a previous pos...

KedoadesI have the perfect wave transport and would like to change out the fuse-how did you go about opening the case to get to the fuse? 
Simaudio 610LP vs Esoteric E-03 phono stages
Another company that makes good solid state stages is Pass Labs. Love to hear from folks who may have had the opportunity to compare the Simaudio 610LP and 810LP with the Pass Labs XP15 and XP25. Thanks 
Anyone try the Jasmine LP2.0SE?
I have a nighthawk which I like a lot-I look forward to your comparison of these two 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
I have just received an empire 4000d/III cartridge. The materials with the cartridge list the compliance of the cartridge at 30 x10-6cm/Dyne. Vinyl engine also lists the same dynamic compliance (the seller on ebay lists the dynamic compliance at 2...

RaulThank you for taking the time to review these two cartridges again-this is much appreciated. 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
MontepilotI agree with your assessment of the nighthawk-it is a fabulous phono stage. I feel the 6 moons reviewer violated the first dictum of any reviewer: to make sure your system is maximized to match the component under review. This reviewer i... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
LewmThis is exactly the question I was asking. I was concerned that going thruogh the P Mount adapter would degrade the sound to the point where a lesser performing 1/2 mount cartridge would give me a better performance. Thank you Lewm for your re... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
I have a Azden YM-P50VL cartridge that I bought but have not taken out of the box to mount. My concern is that I will not get the full potential out of this cartridge since I would be using the adapter so it can work on my rega 300 arm. I am not h... 
Anyone using a Lyra Delos yet?
I was wondering if anyone has had an opportunity to compare the Delos to the Benz Glider S. Thanks 
Benz Glider vs Dynavector DV-17D3 phono cartridge
JimThanks for your response. I do plan on keeping the Rega for the near future. Why do you feel the Benz is a better match for the Rega arm? Thanks 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
