| Herron Audio VTPH-2A - Modwright PH 9.0X - Icon audio ps1 mkii @audiosaurusrex Yes, SR tends to recommend stepping up one value. So 3.15A is a safe bet. I’ve used the suggested rated fuses in tube units and sometimes they have blown. My dealer replaced them for free the first/only two times, but from then on ... | |
| Herron Audio VTPH-2A - Modwright PH 9.0X - Icon audio ps1 mkii @sns I can answer your questions! The PH9 and 9X are a SUBSTANTIAL improvement over the SWP 9.0 SE. This is the upgrade path I went through. The upgrade from SWP to PH9 was much greater than from going from the 9 to 9X, but the X upgrade is still ... | |
| Herron VTPH-2A vs ModWright PH 9.0 @three_easy_payments Let me know what you think of the 12AX7-S as they break in since I’m itching to hear the EQ-500 with them at some point. | |
| Herron VTPH-2A vs ModWright PH 9.0 Absolutely love the ACME line myself. But the first Psvane I ever bought were the 12AX7 T-II, which got replaced by the S series, and that’s how I got into them in the first place. Psvane does make some subpar tubes in some variants and lines, but... | |
| Herron VTPH-2A vs ModWright PH 9.0 @three_easy_payments Thanks for your thoughts on the Luxman. You might have gotten bad or fake Tele’s, but I’ve heard them sound hot rides to the point that they almost distort. In full transparency, I love the Psvane 12AX7-s above any other 12AX7... | |
| Herron VTPH-2A vs ModWright PH 9.0 @three_easy_payments Thanks for your thoughts on the Herron and the Luxman. I’ve always itched to try the Luxman myself and likely will one day. Have you rolled tubes in it? If so what are your preferences? I may have misspoke with the Herron. Wh... | |
| Herron Audio VTPH-2A - Modwright PH 9.0X - Icon audio ps1 mkii @audiosaurusrex I used the blue then the orange. I haven’t stepped up to the purple yet because every component I own uses SR fuses of some sort, and that’s not an itch I can afford to scratch right now. I thought the blue was the best bang for th... | |
| Herron Audio VTPH-2A - Modwright PH 9.0X - Icon audio ps1 mkii @audiosaurusrex Awesome! Did you go for the PH9.0 or X? I ended up upgrading mine with Reflektor tubes, both 6N23-P and 6C45 and use a Synergistic Research fuse. All made considerable differences! | |
| Recommendation for Digital Coax @dadork I just messaged you privately with some thoughts. | |
| Herron Audio VTPH-2A - Modwright PH 9.0X - Icon audio ps1 mkii I just posted this on another forum, but I have heard both and think the PH9.0 and 9.0X kick the living daylights out of the Herron. The Herron is very polite in comparison, with the PH9.0 much more soulful, vibrant and holographic in comparison. ... | |
| Herron VTPH-2A vs ModWright PH 9.0 I’m sad I only came across this thread now. I compared the Herron VTPH-2A to an older Modwright SWP 9.0 SE and thought the Modwright kicked the living daylights out of the Herron. The Herron was very polite and reserved in comparison, and the SWP ... | |
| PS Audio SACD upgrade... Check the PS Audio forums. There’s an incredible thread there with dozens and dozens of users and owners that have provided their findings and experiences from the upgrades. I’ve heard nothing but exponential improvements on the latest Perfectwave... | |
| Pavane 6sn7 uk version for Schiit Freya plus From what it seems, many (and myself included) have used tube socket savers to employ tubes with larger sockets into the Freya+. I no longer own one, but when I did this was the route I took. Yes, socket savers add another set of connections and m... | |
| New Cary DMS 700 Anyone have updates on this piece of kit? I’m curious as to how this sounds compared to the say and Aurender A30, which looks to have a much more sophisticated analog and power architecture, or the DirectStream DAC and bridge combo. | |
| Synergistic Power Cell 12, SX, PS Audio P20 Resurrecting this to see if anyone can provide quick updates. I have an opportunity to get either a P20 or a SR PowerCell SX with Galileo cable both at attractive prices. I currently own the PowerCell 12 UEF SE with the Atmosphere L3 cable, which ... |
