| VAC Owners:Outboard Phono Stage? Wrm57,My medium output MC (0.4MV) cartridge (Ortofon Cadenza Bronze) has what seems like a pretty wide load impedance range of 50-200 Ohm. Do you think that within that range there is a sweet spot that can only be discovered by tweaking? I underst... | |
| Best kt88 for VAC Avatar Super Maineiac,Great timing. I just read your post while me and my wife are casually listening to some great LPs I picked today. One of them is my forth copy of Getz/Gilberto and it's an original pressing in great shape, and not more than 2 minutes befo... | |
| VAC Owners:Outboard Phono Stage? Wrm57,I've already decided not to wait for VAC's pricey phono stage. Thanks for sharing your preference of VAC over the Steelhead in your system, that seems significant to me, as the Steelhead usually gets very high marks. Since the new Chinook is... | |
| VAC Owners:Outboard Phono Stage? Salectric,Impressive DIY project. I was thinking at one point to buy an Audio Note phono stage "kit" and put it together myself... but I got over it. I just don't think that's my thing. | |
| VAC Owners:Outboard Phono Stage? Hello J from Audiorevelation, Kevin never seems to be in a hurry. His built-in phono stages are so good that his outboard has to be a game changer. I wouldn't be surprised if he's been quietly experimenting for years.What is your opinion J? Is the... | |
| VAC Owners:Outboard Phono Stage? Podeschi,Yeah, the Fosgate is also on my list. Very cool looking, like the Zesto. That unit uses half of each tube for each channel, right?Good to hear (so to speak) that the Herron is dead quiet. I believe that the lower the noise floor, the bett... | |
| VAC Owners:Outboard Phono Stage? Podeschi,I spoke with Keith and he actually wrote to Kevin to make sure the VTPH2 would be a good fit for my pre and cartridge! And Kevin wrote him back saying it would be great. Are these guys amazing, or what? True gentlemen (and geniuses). Mulv... | |
| Pop noise from turntable when power-off the unit. Same problem, different TT. My Townshend Rock 7's motor pops loudly every time. i've tried everything can think of. This is annoying as it adds two more steps to my ritual, which looks like this when I switch sides:1. Mute2. Lift tone arm3. Stop m... | |
| I have a AC Regenerator. Get dedicated line too? Inna, I trust you had a nice holiday.If you don't already know about it, Nottingham offers the Wave Mechanic optional power supply which regenerates the AC going to your deck's motor. It's a bit pricey but I've heard good things about this upgrade. | |
| I have a AC Regenerator. Get dedicated line too? Thanks to everyone who participated in this thread... It got somewhat tense at times, with some strong opinions bumping up against each other but overall, it was instrumental in exploring and answering the question I posed to my satisfaction.Yes... | |

| Critical Listening Training Document Anyone else have a cool Critical Listening moment to share? | |
| Critical Listening Training Document Judsauce, well... it's critical listening night at our house (I just decided). Our first selection was.... you guessed it, Flight of the Cosmic Hippo! Your anecdote was so compelling I had to get that track and hear it for myself. Wooten is just a... | |
| Best kt88 for VAC Avatar Super OK, with only 5 hours on them, these new issue Gold Lion KT88s are starting to show their stuff. I'll report in as they find their groove in my VAC Phi 200. So far, they sound good, not great, but good like a mass-market stereo system at its bes... | |
| I have a AC Regenerator. Get dedicated line too? Inna, Part of this obsession, to a different degree for each of us, is the reality of the never-ending upgrade. Technology will not stop its progress because I just bought an expensive component... So, I like to ask the dealer or company how long ... |
