Remote? Just buy another one or two from Keith. I have his ESP360 reference and it does everything you want. My soundstage width, depth and height are incredible and the dynamics and detail I am getting are off the charts good. I have owned a lot of the gear mentioned on this thread and no way I would change out my Herron for any of these. My feed back is pushing 1000 on A-gon, bought and sold a lot over the years. I have Tron 211 and Audiopax Model 88 amplifiers for reference, mHorn Mummy speakers, Wavelenght DAC with Sonore Signture streamer and SonicTransport for server. I did upgrade the tubes in the Herron to Sieman’s 6dj8 tubes and it definitely was a step up over the stock tubes.
Suggestions for a holographic preamp?
I'm looking to replacing my Herron Audio tube line stage with something else, not because of a problem with the sound, but for a few other reasons.
I do both digital and analog, and have a Herron Audio tube phono preamp. My power amp is an MSB S-200, which is awesome, and my speakers are Marten Parker Duos, which are wonderful for a deep, holographic soundstage that I like so much.
I listen mostly to rock and reggae, and I'm looking to keep the price under $10K US, and I'm fine with a used one as well.
I get the feeling that I will need a tube preamp to get that holographic sound, but perhaps there are some SS ones that do as good a job?
The fellow I work with at The Music Room suggested a ModWright LS-100 or a used PS Audio BHK preamp; I've researched and they both look like they'd fit the bill, but I'd like to hear your suggestions, too!
