I have an Xotic XJ-1T and it definitely kills. I also have a Mike Lull M5V and I prefer the Xotic no doubt

Hey folks, Anyone out there have experience with Dimarzio Model J's or Bartolini 9J#1's paired with a J-Retro? I'm curious as to what your experiences are. For those who may have experience with both combos, what are the differences? Thanks
