Cal, prayers and blessings to you and your wife. Praying for a successful surgery and for you to have the strength to help her along this painful journey.
140g with the small add on weight total around 160g I just ordered a soundsmith intuitive also
Thanks, that's why I asked. I'm using the same cartridge with a 140gr. weight and plan to add the Counter Intuitive. What is the small add on weight that you referred too?
I bought a preamp from them with no problem. They do seem to be quite impressed with themselves though.
Brent Jessee is an excellent choice for audio tubes. He's knowledgeable, trustworthy and guaranties his tubes.
I have no experience with the Jolida but can highly recommend the Wavelength Brick from Gordon Rankin. There is one available on Agon right now with an asking price of $749.00. I think I paid $1800.00 plus shipping a couple of years ago.

I have mine in the corners of a 24' wall in a 24' X 48' foot shop with 10' ceilings. I think think they sound great.
I don't know how the neighbors feel about them though.
