| Review: Convergent Audio JL-2 Tube amp Haha ... I am quite late tooI have the JL-2 (non-Signature version) for many many years, and is by far the best amp I have ever owned.I used to pair it with a Gryphon preamp - the Elektra solid-state, and it was a good match.Late last year, I chan... | |
| ASR Basis Exclusive and WHICH MC cartridge?? I am using the same Kuzma Stabi Reference table but with Triplanar VII arm.
