| Zu/Omen in LA? @jkontuly in addition to asking on A-Gon I recommend emailing/calling Gerrit at Zu. He's a super helpful guy. I was just out there last week and he mentioned folks in Cali that are Zu owners (not sure about Omen specifically.)Also, they have a ver... | |
| Manley Chinook I wouldn't be too thrilled @sschmidt if I spent several $K on a preamp, had issues, sent it back and had to sit tight for a quarter of a year so my unit could be the guinea pig..Why wouldn't they just send a new unit...or perhaps a loaner? | |
| Cartridge Loading for Pass Labs XP-15 Very helpful @syntax; thanks. I can hear what you are describing in your last sentence. This is the type of detailed advice I was seeking. I’ve moved to 1K and the sound is more pleasing. The manual is great (and I have read it several times throu... | |
| Cartridge Loading for Pass Labs XP-15 @zavato @syntax thanks for the feedback. @syntax when you recommend starting at 1k is this after experimenting at 47k? What differences other than damped bass exist with ohm values? Should impedance and capacitance be considered collectively or no... | |
| RSD 2016 I am curious about the sound quality of the live Doors offering so if anyone has purchased please do share. | |
| RSD 2016 @jafant thanks...I listened to most of them yesterday. The Cachao is amazing, although I am a sucker for big horns and lots of percussion. Did you make it out? | |

The middle of the road, knowledgeable, extremely helpful contributor who answers questions without snark or... | |
| RSD 2016 Definitely a good day in Pittsburgh, PA at The Attic. Arrived an hour and a half after opening and still found everything on my list and more. I typically stand in line but glad I didn't have to this year.Al Escobar- Rhythmagic (Sundazed Music/Mod... | |

| Shopping for a preamp @abrew19 Thanks, yes I am looking for a preamp with phono. I really liked the New Record Day review of the Pass XP-15 and he too uses it with a Cronus Magnum so although the source and speakers differ, there are still some parallels. I auditioned ... | |
| Shopping for a preamp @abrew19 Thanks, what amp/speakers are you using and what are the ARC Ref2's best qualities? | |
| Shopping for a preamp @adg101 Thanks for the info. I like rocking out and my system is a lot of fun. I upgraded my outlets to Furutech GTX-D Rhodiums with dedicated lines. Although still breaking in the noise floor has dropped and dynamics have increased. I want to con... | |
| Shopping for a preamp @czbbcl thanks for the details. Did you audition other units before purchasing the Herron? If so, please list and also provide details as to what sold you on the Herron vs. the comps. Thanks. | |
| Shopping for a preamp @adg101 Can you tell me more about what you like with the MW LS100? I am currently using tubes for power amp. Do you use this preamp and if so what associated gear is in your rig? | |
| Shopping for a preamp @czbbcl what do you like about the Herron? I am looking for a 3D image, lowered noise floor, etc. thanks for the insight. |
