Pathos Classic One Mark 4 coming out????
I have just checked with Pathos Acoustics directly in reference to the possible release of the new Classic One Mk IV integrated amplifier and they have no idea such a version was even available.The current version is the Mk III unit, which is only... 
phono arm to pre cables
I don't believe VPI offer any Nordost Valhalla wiring grade phono interconnects.You may want to ask Mike from VPI, for his own recommendations for a reasonably priced set of phono interconnects, as a pair of Nordost Valhalla grade standard interco... 
phono arm to pre cables
Does the JMW-10.5i Signature version tonearm have Nordost Valhalla wiring used internally and within the junction box?I have seen the standard JMW-10.5i version tonearm and like my current standard JMW-9 version tonearm, they both employ the same ... 
Optimal loading for Dynavector xx2
If you increase the loading to a higher value over 100 ohms, then the higher frequency signals will even favour more in terms of dB output level.I advise you compare the two settings of 50 ohms with 150 ohms, side by side and report back with furt... 
Optimal loading for Dynavector xx2
Yes, you are definitely heading in the right path.I assume you meant 57.5 dB gain is the highest option available for the PF-1 phono stage.I found this about the newer PFE-1 phono stage:http://www.michaelyeeaudio.com/PFE-1.htmlThey indicate 60 dB ... 
Optimal loading for Dynavector xx2
I am not familiar at all with the Michael Yee PF1 phono stage.Is it tubed based or solid state?What gain levels does it offer?You will find that the DV XX-2 cartridge performs best with 68 dB plus gain. 
Optimal loading for Dynavector xx2
I have the exact same 0.23 mV cartridge and depending on the phono stage in use with it, I highly recommend you set it for 100 ohms loading.What make and model of phono stage are you planning to use with the DV XX-2 cartridge? 
Nordost and Triangle
Please keep in mind, that the grade of wiring used internally with your Zerius speakers is that of the Triangle TC2250 2.5 mm2 oxygen-free multi-strand copper flat loudspeaker cable.I would seriously consider using equal appropriate lengths of the... 
Integrated Amp that goes well with Triangle Celius
I have been using a pair of Celius 202 floor standing speakers for just under a year now.In the past, I used a solid state Krell KAV-300i integrated amplifier with the above speakers and most recently upgraded to two hybrid Pathos Classic One Mk I...
