amps for MARTIN LOGAN CLS IIz
Sanders ESL amp. They have a stereo and mono version. Best amp that I have heard on my CLSIIA's. Specifically designed for electrostatic speakers. The Pass amps are wonderful also.

Oracle Paris, 15 years old with Jelco 250ST Arm?
A Linn Ittok LVII or LVIII would be killer on that table. If you can get a new armboard made, this is my current favorite arm:http://www.audiomods.co.uk/completearms.htmlPay the little extra and get the Micrometer version. 
Oracle Paris, 15 years old with Jelco 250ST Arm?

If you are talking about the new MOBILE FIDELITY Silver series reissue, I do not hear that on my copy.

I have the Classic 180 gram, the Classic 200 gram and the Classic 45RPM. I also have a Canadian pressing. ALL of these vinyl copies, without exception, are better sounding than any version of the CD that I have heard.Yeah, I'm a Cowboy Junkies Jun...

audio research
The ARC SP8 is an all tube preamp (8 tubes total). The SP9 and SP14 were hybrids (2 tubes for SP9, 1 for SP14).I have owned all of these and really preferred the SP9 and SP14 to the SP8.IMHO, the SP9MKII or SP9MKIII are excellent choices. Tube rol...
