Lots of really great information on JAP2, well done Prof and the rest!  I fell in love with these speaks at CAF last Nov.  Despite a challenging listening environment in a tiny room this speaker turned heads, certainly mine.I’ve always like JA spe... 
Where can I audition amps near Boston?
I second Goodwins for a good experience I had.  I stopped in for a look around while on business a few years back.  They offered to ship me a demo phono amp to try out.  Not much of that around!

Phonostage comparisons

Long time Mac owner, 501’s for 15 years matched with CJ ET5 and driving Thiel CS6.  Great sound!  Mac takes a beating, oh and all MIT cabling which gets about the Same Treatment.  Mac owners have a deep pride of ownership, love the sound and nonow...
