I want to thank all the posters on the board for their enlightening opinions and insights. When I was listening to John Coltrane meets Duke Ellington last night I was reminded of just how beautiful some recordings can be if you have some good equipment. When I was debating the Arcam Solo a number of people stepped up and said "it's a great unit" and the same for the Paradigm Speakers. I have to say that when I first got the speakers it didnt sound as good as they do now but people said to give them 30 hours or so to "warm up".

Any recommendation for speakers to go with my Cayin A50T integrated amp? im currently using a Paradigm Mini Monitor and i am currently in the market for a replacement speaker.

Im currently using a Cayin A50T and i was wondering, if there are suggested tubes to improve the sound of my system. I am currently using a Paradigm Mini Monitor listening mostly to jazz,blues and standards.

Your suggestions will be greatly appreciated

Hi and thanks for looking in.

I used to be guarded about buying radios making sure that sets advertised with 'FM Radio' used the nomenclature "FM Stereo Radio". Somewhere in my education, someone pointed out that not all things were "stereo" and so you had to pay attention. Back then, it seemed stereo had a legal meaning too.
