Which amp matches best my JM Lab Mezzo Utopia ?
I ended up with Belles MB200 mono amplifiers. Solid state differential circuit. 200 watts in 8 ohms 400 watts in 4 ohms and the Mezzos have 4 ohm impedance. A very good match and I use it without pre-amp only selector ahe Goldpoint ladders. The Be... 
Anyone heard the Micro Seiki DDX1000?
The DQX 1000 looks to be an upgraded DDX 1000 - heavier platter, higher torque motor, quartz control (this last one almost noone accepts as an upgrade but it can be switched off).One caveat - as I have found from my experience and from reading the... 
Any idea where to find Micro Seiki tonearm parts?
I am looking for a motor or rotor (spindle and magnet) for my DQX 1000.Any infomation of where I can get this from is highly appreciated.Thanks 
Top ten DD turntables of all time?
I have the Micro Seiki DQX 1000.It sound excellent to me but in respect of what TWL said above - yes there are those although very small waves visible in the spindle rotation.But I don't know what had happened as I had bought it second hand.If it ... 
Anyone heard the Micro Seiki DDX1000?
As owner of a Micro Seiki DQX 1000 I would like to add something to this forum :To start from the most important - this direct drive turntable sounds excellent to me. Actually it does not add its own sound, it is a variable which can be removed fr...

vet93,Sorry for mistaking your system with somebody else's I have seen ... 
Which amp matches best my JM Lab Mezzo Utopia ?
Vet93, here it goes :- Pass Aleph 3 - solid state single ended 30W.The small 3 sounded fine with the Mezzo .I would say it did the same as with 8 ohm speakers .It used to get quite hot during operation.There was the see through soundstage existing... 
Which amp matches best my JM Lab Mezzo Utopia ?
Vet93, from your experience I understand : 100W minimum.Others have said it too .The power of the amplifier appears to be the limitation factor in these speakers' case.Kirkus, you are absolutely right.Enough is enough ! 
Air tight ATM 211 and MAXX
Fpooyandeh,Have you had the problem with the Air Tights fixed?Appreciate if you let me know. 
Which amp matches best my JM Lab Mezzo Utopia ?
All,I would like to ask you this :Which amplifier would you prefer - Air Tight ATM 211 or- Wyetech Topaz A Monofor use with the Mezzo and why ?The Topaz M has great reviews , AT also.I have auditioned the Air Tight 211.It is awesome.It has Tamura ... 
Which amp matches best my JM Lab Mezzo Utopia ?
Has anyone tried the Mezzo with a single ended amp based on the 211 tube ?Or with a parallel single ended amp based on 2 output tubes like the 211 or the 845 ? Or the GM 70 tube ?Any shared experience is welcome.Thanks 
Air tight ATM 211 and MAXX
This is now very old forum but the outcome is not clear.IMO the problem is not a as you say a 'DC problem' as the noise does not persist all time the amplifier is on.I know that these amplifiers have a soft start curcuit.There are 2 relays (2) whi... 
Should I get the Art Audio Jota
Phaelon, I have read from the review in 'Enjoy the music' that the CJ 17 LS inverts the phase. You need to take that into consideration and reverse the speaker terminal connections.The Jota has an input sensitivity at 400 mV (0.4V). This would mea... 
Are passive preamps better?
Eldartford, I wanted to say that the amplifier is very sensible so I have probably said it wrongly. So I should have probably said high input sensitivity.I wanted to say that the power amplifier needs low level signal say 1V rms to reach its full ... 
Which amp matches best my JM Lab Mezzo Utopia ?
Atmasphere, I guess that you actually are the Atmasphere company?Had read somewhere though that it is not efficient to use a balanced amplifier with an unbalanced source (as mine).I am not targeting a balanced amplifier for this reason as it is na...
