I have in review for few days, Goldmund 18.4 and it's a miracle ... The sound is better than I can imagine, very strange. You understood why Apogge need current !

Finally, I removed the Kubala Sosna Emotion because I find the Jorma Design better in my configuration.
Plus, I also removed the Threshold SA/4e to came back to the small Krell KSA 50mkII.
Jadis are also not working anymore.

System edited: I am a lucky man, I have updated my amplifier with this marvellous Threshold SA/4e (100w class A)

Hello,
Analog is only depending of the performance of your MM/MC setup. Mine is good but not great when I compare with CD player but the price is not in the same league !.

Hi,
The Apogee Diva is normally around 4 ohms and 87db
Tubes or SS must be at least with 120w under 4ohms.
Only the Threshold is able to manage correctly ribbons. With only 60w because tube have always the same power 8/4/2 ohms it's not enought. Ribbons must be shaked with energy.
SS witch are working fine are : Threshold SA series, Pass XA series, Rowland Research 8 or 9, Classe DR3VHC and Sphinx PJ 14 or 16. No more !

Hi Muralman1,
I have done a test in biamp but it was a disaster ...
The Jadis has not the power to support the DIVA. And the merge of the 2 sound from tube and SS was wrong even if in stand alone the Jadis is good.
So I have stop the manip and gone to mono amp with the Threshold but this one is modified by myself with 96000µf each side and audiophile components inside and now it's equivalent as a pair of SA/6e !. Really exceptional.
