The best Carl Orff Carmina Burana?
Perhaps this is too obvious but there is an advertised as mint Philips LP of the Kegel listed on ebay. (22 hrs left).Plus there are numerous used classical LP dealers with lists on the net. Virtually every major classical issue (and the all the ab... 
Do you own Dunlavy SC-IV's AND a yardstick ???
Yes. The correction is in the time domain. "Flat" frequency response is actually the "side effect" so to speak of maintaining the time coherence. If you Sigtech correct a non phase coherent speaker more of the processing power goes to correcting t...

Bybee quantum filters for speakers
I use the Bybee Ultra with my Dunlavy SC-Vs. They make a significant difference. I also use the Bybee at the input of my power amps. 
how old is too old when buying speakers?
I've bought lots of stuff on a'gon and have not had any problems with the transaction. (Fedex is another matter).I've bought two pair of Tukans for secondary systems and think they are great for the cost.Assuming they weren't over driven, 10 years... 
A'gon Transactions, Risk of Loss?
I don't think you are out of your head BUT the ROL should be something explicitly agreed to as part of the deal. I've done quite a few deals as buyer and seller here on a'gon and have had my share of damaged goods.I've tended to go with the buyer ...

Tube combos for a jolida 302B

Reliablity of Jolida equipment
I've owned or placed with my friends about 8 Jolidas over the last two years and have posted detailed comments on multiple threads. Search using Jolida.

Anyone who likes Sibelius should listen to Vanska with the Lahti orchestra especially #5. 
Good NOS tube dealers/New prod. tube alternatives?
I have dealt with both Andy and Kevin on multiple occasions. Different approaches but VERY happy with both. As above, be sure to tell them what equipment you are using. 
Speakers to go with a Jolida 302b
Try a pair of Linn Tukans. There is a review thread on them here on audiogon. I use them with a Jolida 302 in one of my office systems and installed the very same combo for a "poor" college student friend of mine. A plus for the college student is...
