Herron VTPH-2 added to system (almost)

Thank you guys for your good wishes for me. It is exciting for an old guy (not much to get excited about these days, at least nothing good). 

I just listened to the first two sides of the tribute to Leonard Cohen, the quietest new vinyl I've ever heard. I'll be interested to see how it sounds with the Herron in the loop.

Best Wishes,

Dan

I don't use any loading at all for my MC cartridges with my old Modwright SWP 9.0 phono stage, with upgraded factory power supply.

I recently put my Zu Denon 103R with ESCCO cantilever and stylus back in, and I've never heard it sound better than it does now. I'll leave it in to hear how it sounds with the VTPH-2 behind it, it should be educational in an interesting way.

Well, after chasing around for a few days getting my R/H speaker working right again, I finally had time to listen to some vinyl last night.

What a pleasure. Chick Corea's Play Wonder, Chopian,  etc; sounded the best my vinyl front end has ever sounded. I just turned off the lights and listened to a beautifully played piano.

I'm already in love with the Herron VTSP-2 phono stage. Much more vinyl listening is coming my way, I should think! 

Regards,

Yes Noromance, it does, though it's not an ass-kicking. I put my new cartridge on tonight (new to me), a Shure V-15 Type 5 MR and new stylus, and my analog front end has never souded better.

I couldn't be happier with how it sounds, and that's all that matters.

Best regards,

Dan
