Jolida Fx10
I'm looking for a phono preamp to pair with my Jolida FX-10. Does anyone have suggestions on what I should look for in terms of gain in the phono preamp. I'm currently using an Ortofon Blue 2M cartridge which uses 5.5mV. Thanks for any input.  
Preamp gain ???
I just stumbled across this post in a Google search and have some of these same issues. My current set up is as follows: Cambridge Azur 551p preamp (39 dB)Pro-Ject Debut III Ortofon Blue 2-M cartridge (5.5 mV)Jolida FX-10 amp (670 mV input sensit... 
Need some preamp expertise
My main concern with the hybrid is that, like the Pro-Ject Tubebox DS, it uses IC opamps for most of the gain. Are the tubes mainly just used as a buffer; and if so does the sound vary that much between the hybrid and the regular boogie? All thi...

NAD C 316BEE vs. NAD D 3020
Thanks again for the input everyone. Looks like I need to go with the C316BEE. I'll be interested to see how it pairs against the Jolida FX-10 with the Dali's

I haven't had a chance to listen with the Dali's yet. My hope is that the Jolida drives the Dali's enough for my liking. If not I'm then faced with a decision. Either buy the Klipsch's from my friend in order to accommodate the Jolida (which I'd r... 
Tube Amp vs Solid State Amp HELP
Right now I'm using my friends Kilpsch RB-61 ii speakers with the Jolida FX-10. Those speakers are sensitive enough to accommodate the Jolida. Now I'm not sure if I should just offer to buy the Jolida and the Kilpsch and send back the Dali's. The ...

Are GemTune tub amps decent? They are good ratings on Amazon, but I'm not sure how much I trust those reviews.https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FE9OYZ4/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_S_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=15FLK6IF5670Y&...
