Berning ZH270 vs 845 SET amp

preamp for berning/merlin/audio aero system
if you can get a hold of an Emotive Sira ,try it . i think its an excellent combination. very musical & detailed but not bright at all. i use it with my berning & merlin MM. if your near NYC your more than welcome to hear it. 
Merlin VSM or Revel Performa F52

Two systems in the same room
i have 2 sets of speakers side by side ( Merlins EXL-4 & Merlin VSM m) on one system for the past couple of months, so far no problem. two different sounds on one system. 
cryod tube vs non-cryod tube

best tonearm for Kondo IO-J cart.
Raul, i was always told that usually the best way was to have a really good MM phono stage & use a great step-up for the extra gain. maybe i was misinformed. 
best tonearm for Kondo IO-J cart.
there is no question that the IO-J sounds better 99% of the time with the kondo step up than without. the reason i put up this post was to see if my arm was right for my io-j . i use a simon yorke (table & arm),& my friend was just over to...
