NEED ADVISE ON AN AMPLIFIER TRANSACTION
Beware, this could be a scam. A friend was selling gear on Ebay and was approached for a sale like you had. Ship to a location in the USA and in turn, it would be shipped out of the country in a container, most likely. Through some detailed intern...

If you are looking to spend some money and add an upgraded power supply to your Naim, get a Teddy Pardo and don't look back.https://www.teddypardo.com/powersupplies/fornaim.htmlA lot less costly and equal or better performance plus no need to have... 
Line Magnetic 219ia vs Mc225
Congratulations jkull. It's a great integrated. It has a big 3D sound stage as well. Enjoy! 
How would a Ayre KX-5 Twenty stack up against a Mark Levinson No 326s?
My pleasure. I can't compare to the Levinson preamp but a friend had the Levinson integrated and we both were not crazy about it. Dark and kind of closed in. Not sure how the Levinson received Stereophile Class A rating like the Ayre Integrated bu...

Job Integrated Amp.
If your Mini-X are these specs: sensitivity: 87 dB @ 1 watt / 1m, nominal impedance: 8 ohms, then the Job will be able to drive them well. Job amps are not crazy about loads of 3 ohms or less. With that said, I like the Hegel H30 but prefer Pass a... 
Pass X-250.8, X-250.5 or XA-30.8...or?
I have two friends with Salon2's and they both have Pass X350.8 amps. Incredible pairing and they are using ARC Ref 6 preamps. You really need some power to help the Salon2's to open up.  
ayre mx-r vs ayre vx-5 twenty
The VX5-20 is an amazing amp. Has the same DNA of the MXR-20 but in my opinion is not the same. I feel that the VX5-20 is a little more forward and ultimately not as sweet, but only upon comparing to the MXR-20, do you ever realize the difference.... 
ayre mx-r vs ayre vx-5 twenty
Hi,The MXR-20’s are my destination amps, like I’ve mentioned before. Please don’t read the following sentences as absolute and please don’t read anything more into them because it’s difficult to describe what I hear and like. My personal preferenc...

ayre mx-r vs ayre vx-5 twenty
I had the VX-5 Twenty, sold it to get the MX-R Twenty. The VX5-20 was so good, I had the have the MXR-20's. These are my destination amps for sure. I absolutely love them. Smooth, sweet, perfect tone, no sibilants, powerful big 3D open sound. I do... 
What was the name of that amp?
Could this be it?http://jobsys.com/products.htmI had the stereo version and now have the Job INTegrated. It is a stunning value. I love mine. 
Mcintosh C2600 preamp tube upgrade
Looks like one 12AX7A and one 12AT7 for you but I don't understand how they are utilized. 
Mcintosh C2600 preamp tube upgrade
I wish I could be more exact but have not seen the C2600. Congratulations. When I had the C2300, two 12AX7A per channel for analog, MC and MM inputs were used so if all you wanted to change were the analog inputs, two 12AX7A were all that was need... 
Mcintosh C2600 preamp tube upgrade
Tube Complement 6 Tubes, Five - 12AX7A and One - 12AT7 (viewed thru the Top Cover Window) Does not say what goes where so there is a difference from the C2300.
