Need Recommendations for SS amp for 2 ohm load
The Spectron is a digital amp. I remember Roger saying that digital amps don't work well with his panels. I'm not sure why that is but I would ask him first.I think with the preamp you have you should be fine with his esl amp. He may let you do a ... 
Need Recommendations for SS amp for 2 ohm load
What is the rest of your system? I use a nice tube preamp. I agree you need some tubes in the system.I tried a solid state preamp with my system and it was too bright for me. It was a used Innersound RCP-1. Their reference preamp. I spoke with Rog... 
Need Recommendations for SS amp for 2 ohm load
Sorry just reread your post. I would just get his analog crossover instead. That would solve your problem. The 10b uses a active analog crossover and the 10c uses the digital. I don't know if you have an analog source but if you ever want one you ... 
Need Recommendations for SS amp for 2 ohm load
I would try your VTL's first. I have Innersound Kaya's and use a Innersound DRP-500 which was the predessor to the Magtech amp. This amp is the best amp I have tried. The most powerful tube amp I tried was an Audio Valve Challenger mono's at 180 w... 
Isolation for a table for floors with movement
Aurios bearing work quite well and don't cost a fortune. 
ESE Nibiru Phono Stage
I have maybe 200 hours on it so far. I have been told it uses teflon caps so it may not be broke in yet. It has opened up some since new. It's not bad just not quite as open sounding as my Plinius M-14.As for my cartridge I'm using an ESE Inanna s...

Hi, I have had it for about 4 months now.The midrange is quite special. It makes my beattles LP'ssound great. Norah Jones sounds like she is in my room. The bass is quite good also. Solid and deep. Although I have not played any pipe organ music y... 
What amp with Innersound Eros ?
Just realized this is a 5 year old thread. OP has probably found an amp by now. 
What amp with Innersound Eros ?
I have a pair of Kaya's. Which are similar but a little larger.I have tried four different amps with these. First amp I used was a Parasound A21. This worked pretty well though a little under powered. In its price range I don't think you could do ... 
Aesthetix Calypso vs. ?
No. Mullard CV4004's work well. I have tried some GE 5751's which are lower gain and quieter but prefered the CV4004's.Not sure why your dealers unit does not have the gain jumpers. If you buy a new one it should have them and it lowers the gain b... 
Aesthetix Calypso vs. ?
Try 3 Herbies Iso cups with lampblack balls under the Calypso. Two in front and one in the rear. You will be amazed. They really focused the soundstage and improved the sound for the better in my system.Also good NOS tubes are mandatory to get the...

Amp for Martin logan CLS Originals
I agree that tubes are ideal. If you must use solid state a used Innersound amp or new Sanders Sound amp will work well. They are designed to work with electrostats. 
When does analog compete with digital?
In regard to isolation. A turntable is the most sensitive component in the whole system.When people say that isolation should be addressed last, it is because they probably don't have a turntable.If your room sits on a concrete slab then that help...
