| PX-25 tube amp with Merlin VSM speakers? Agree with Darkmoebius. I had the PX25 for a short while. Loved what it did but was just a few watts short of driving my Zu Definitions to max capabilities. I ended up with the Carissa at 16 watts, and that did it for me.Anyway, (FYI) there is an ... | |
| DAC Being Impacted By Home Power Issue - Help John,"Due to the fact that the first two levels are on slabs..."Are you saying that your first and second floor are of concrete slab? If so, then yes, running a circuit to your listening room will be very expensive. However, If your second floor i... | |

| Equipment Grading Honesty Mofimadness,I saw that CJ amp ad and mentioned it in the OP's "duplicate" thread. I have to say that maybe it's time to re evaluate the Audiogon rating system. I read through all the ratings and didn't find at any point where it mentions about a u... | |
| Equipment Grading Honesty First off I would have like to see you post what the actual ad stated. Were any of these flaws disclosed in the ad? If so that may have been the sellers out (according to him). Although I do agree that the 8 rating is too high for the preamp as yo... | |
