| A very good ENGINEERING explanation of why analog can not be as good as digital.. Seconded. If ever there was a pointless debate/schism, then this is it.If you don't like one or the other, don't listen to it. If someone else likes what you don't like, how exactly is that an issue you need to concern yourself with?As for what'... | |
| Help me decide on phono preamp It might be an idea to first quantify exactly what you feel your current setup is missing and hence what you want from a new phono stage. | |
| Help me decide on phono preamp I don't know the Marantz, but according to reviews such as the one in TAS it has an uncommonly good phono stage for an integrated amp. Taking that as fact, I would suggest you hold on to the money you've now got and save up some more.While I've n... | |
| Herron VTPH-2A Phono Preamp....anyone familiar? I'm afraid I've no knowledge of the H-1201 beyond the plethora of enthusiastic reviews available online. Comparisons will no doubt be available soon, but considering how recently the H-1202 was released I wouldn't expect any just yet.However, giv... | |
| Herron VTPH-2A Phono Preamp....anyone familiar? Not side by side, but I believe I can state pretty confidently that both the Herron and my Allnic are better phono stages than the PH7, which I've spend many an hour listening to at a friend's place. I can't claim it to be unequivocal truth, g... | |
| Herron VTPH-2A Phono Preamp....anyone familiar?

A little sobriety and a little less fanboi talk would be seemly.Personally I had a V... | |
| OPINIONS PLEASE - Phonostage for new Rega P8/Apheta 2 - Sutherland 20/20 or Allnic 1201 If those are the prices you have to work with, I'd say the Allnic is an absolute no-brainer. Again, it and the Herron are equally good in my book and which you prefer, pricing aside, will come down to subjective preference.To obtain something not... | |
| OPINIONS PLEASE - Phonostage for new Rega P8/Apheta 2 - Sutherland 20/20 or Allnic 1201 I beg to differ and think the Allnic is on par with the Herron in terms of sound quality. I find the Herron a touch more neutral with the stock tubes, but that entirely a subjective matter, and it is of course more flexible in that if offers an i... | |
| Herron VTPH-2A vs Rogue Ares Magnum Thanks a lot for the input, I really appreciate it! That does indeed sound very good to me and turns me even further in the direction of the Herron. I was leaning that way in any case, but hearing the opinion of someone who owns both units is gr... |
