Jadis JF-1 Crossover? Any experience?
Amended question list (partially hoping to bring the question back to life:1) If I use an active pre-amp before the crossover (this or any other active crossover) and then use a power amp on the low frequency output and an integrated amp on the hi... 
Has anybody heard the new Nagra CD Player?
ooohhh coool, a fight!I can see this one getting messy. At least I got a front row seat! 
more reliable amp: tube or solid state class A
If you want an idea of what one renowned amp designer/builder thinks about Class A, the heat it generates, the effect on the amp's circuitry, etc, I would suggest a read of an owner's manual of an early Pass Labs Aleph amplifier (available, for ex... 
SET amps and speaker sensitivity.
There is no hard and fast "right answer" but there are common guidelines. As swampwalker suggested, space/volume will have an effect. Speaker impedance (and how it varies by frequency) could also play a very strong role. Second, not all amps of X ... 
Whats on your turntable tonight?
Paul Chambers' Bass On Top.In a word, awesome. 
Anyone ever mount a Clearaudio TQ-1 to a Micro Sei
If dust is a problem on low-flow arms, then you could always try a "high-flow" linear-tracking arm like the CartridgeMan Conductor. I know nothing of the arm other than I'd like to try it someday. 
Accuphase vs Marantz cdp
I would agree with Jaybo, personally. If you like it, stick with it. The Accuphase is a good player. If after a while you still ache for something different, then I think the music server route has merit. 
Accuphase vs Marantz cdp
Fernando, I myself have not gotten far enough down that road to do right by the format and speak with wisdom borne of personal experience. I personally am convinced of the technology and have a few friends who are very happy, even without the best... 
Accuphase vs Marantz cdp
Beautiful system. With a "clean slate" as it were, have you thought about going to a PC/Mac-based music server plus DAC system? If I had to recommend to a computer-literate redbook-only friend getting into high-end audio what they should do for a ...

The Magicos are nice. The Nelson Pass Kleinhorns are kinda cool too (check out the Pass site). And I like Jadis Eurythmies (google image search). 
Technics SP-10 MkII vs. Yamaha PX-3, PF1000
Glad you found a PX-2 (and hope you got it cheap).re: carts... Nope. Have not experimented yet with "higher-end" carts as I am a) trying to get past a recent house move which was followed almost instantaneously by an extended business trip (still ... 
Looking for an integrated tube amp USA or Europe
For EAR products, I very much like the 869's Enhanced SET mode and super-long-life tubes - caveat, it only has 14.5 watts. For more power, I like both the Manley Stingray and VTL IT-85. 
Technics SP-10 MkII vs. Yamaha PX-3, PF1000
The Technics is, by all opinion I have heard, a great DD TT. The cost of the TT and and a good arm to be associated with it would put it in an entirely different money class than a Yamaha PX-3 (or PX-2 for that matter).There are several threads in...
