Lyra Delos or Helicon versus Soundsmith Zephyr
Bpoletti I have a herron2 phono and a Lyra Delos on a Vpi TNT with a jmw12. It is phenomenal! And I have heard a ton of good combos. IMHO I would put mine up against almost any of them. In the beginning after the dealer set it up it was just good,... 
Any other Sophia Amplifier Experiences???
Ok does anybody have sophia 845s that work properly without any trouble? I know my amps are quite rare. 
Any other Sophia Amplifier Experiences???
We used protection!!!! 
Any other Sophia Amplifier Experiences???
Thank you almarg, some good ideas there. I like the idea if trying to focus in on what part is failing on the trannies. Mt10425 what's your problem?? Did I say my experience was indicative of how it is across the board? Noooo. I'm merely detailing... 
Any other Sophia Amplifier Experiences???
Swampwalker that's odd, I just read the stereophile review and they don't mention any issues?? What did you hear and how did you hear it?? 
Any other Sophia Amplifier Experiences???
Mt10425. Read the last 3 sentences of my first post, they outline exactly what I am after. And also I am very unhappy with the way I've been treated by Sophia. I think people should know what kind of service they can expect if they choose to buy s... 
Any other Sophia Amplifier Experiences???
I have replaced the output tubes, the last time I had a brand new pair of TJ's in there. That's another story, I've only had 4 tubes go bad on me in my life and they were all sophia/TJ tubes. Again they sound good but absolute crap reliability. Bu... 
How do you tame a Denon DL-S1?
Old thread but I felt I had to jump in when I read some crazy comments. Raul and I seem to have drastically different perspectives! The best way to handle the fragile signal of a LOMC is always a SUT. It may be a journey to find the right one but ... 
Tannoy Yorkminster vs Canterbury
Congrats on your speakers, you can't go wrong with any tannoy. With regards to yorkie vs canterbury I'm firmly in the yorkie camp. It's true what people are saying they can get honky but I have found that's more a function of which amp you have th... 
Best amplifier for magnapan mg12.
Maggie's load is pretty flat at around 4 ohms so you can get great results with tubes. Need a bit of oomph tho! Lots of good ideas above. Schipo is bang on in my books if you want to keep budget low.

Time to blast off from Rhea
I, like Davt, directly compared the rhea signature to the Herron vtph2 and the Herron was quite a bit better. Quieter, more detailed and much more natural sounding. Also compared it to the zesto and it won out there for me too. Since purchasing th... 
Most compatible phono pre for Lyra Delos
I have a Herron vtph2 and the combo is sublime. Totally beat out a zesto in every way. I ab'd them with 2 friends present. All of us agreed the Herron was far more natural and musical. Call Keith directly, he's great to deal with. 
What is the best amplifier for Tannoy Kensington ?
I own the yorkminster se's and have successfully powered them with an el84 amp of around 10watts. Tannoys don't need lots of power contrary to some folks suggestions. I agree they probably sound different with 200 watts of ss power, and some folks... 
just auditioned tannoy yorkminster
I'm pretty sure it was the equipment. I own the yorkminsters and find myself listening to more and more classical and piano as it sounds so phenomenal! They put out quite a bit more base then most of the Tannoy line Aside from the Westminster. Thi...
