What preamp & power amp to buy?

Wig wrote; I have owned Belles, Rogue, Classee,CJ, AR, Bryston and many others and the Herron equipment is head and shoulders above them.

Can you elaborate because that's a bould statement made by you, are you sugesting you had everyone of these pces paired up with your present speakers, specifically what were the differences and the actual pces of gear you make referrence to.

In the end as you are reading all these replies you are going to get endless opinions, that's all they are.

You need to either get pces in your home and compare, try and find others with the same speakers and go and listen. Might involve some travel time but in the end your ears need to hear and make the decision.

Wig, thank's for the responce.

So by reading your thread it's clear that you are a BIG Herron FAN and that's fine but ...

In this thread you go one further saying;

"I’m sure you can find an amp that is quicker, has more power and bass for a whole lot more but none will offer the flexibility and musicality the Herron combo offers"

Wig I could quote your whole thread but then again this is not a debate about Herron or other product you have mentioned so I'll just leave well enough alone.

I will say you made me really laugh hard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To anyone reading this there are always going to be lots of opinions and the only one that really matters is your own, so enjoy it's going to be a journy.

I have had my share, latest being a owner of Avalon Isis speakers paired up with ARC Ref3 REF600 MK2's along with 610T's, same system also had a VTL 7.5 and Ref 750's which I swapped gear back and forth to get different flavours to my present being MBL 101E's paired up with a VAC Sig. MK2a pre, and soon to be waiting for my VAC Statement 450 mono blocks. Source TW Acustic Black Knight with a couple of arms and other gear.

Enjoy!
