Here are a few links regarding the XX-1:

The XX-1 is now discontinued, replaced by the XX-2 (different design). My only experience with it is hearing my friends. He originally had his mounted on a VPI HW-19 MK-4, can't remember what arm. Now he has it on an Audiomeca Romance/Romeo arm. In both cases I loved the sound. Soundstage is wide, deep and 3D; better on the Audiomeca setup. His setup - same amps as myself, ARC SP-8 pre, Alon Lotus SE speakers. Here is a link to my system:

My system is set up on the short wall of a small room - 9'x13'. It sounds like the narrower soundstage of the PX-2 would work well for me. Plus, the forward presentation would work well with the extremely laid-back presentation of my Alon I mkII. I have a Dynavector XX-1 that has never been mounted. Do you think this would be a good match on the PX-2?

Ivanj,
I noticed that you have changed your analog front end. How better does the PX-2 perform than the LP-12? I've been very curious about the PX-2 and PX-3. BTW, nice rig!
