| Jelco TK-850L review @noromance So.... How is the arm? | |

| First impression: Herron VTPH-2A phono preamp @scm I don’t know what Herron uses in the VTPH-2a. He’s pretty accessible. Give him a call. I keep all my Herron Audio units as-is based on how the Keith has designed and implemented them. If Herron changes his recommended tube complement, I will ... | |
| First impression: Herron VTPH-2A phono preamp @scm My opinion and to address your comment....I have owned all the various versions of the VTPH-1 and VTPH-2 through the current revision. Used the same table and cartridges when upgrading from the VTPH-1MC (with the latest revisions) to the VTP... | |
| Help me pick a phono, pre and cart @rauliruegas I'll continue to enjoy the reproduction of phono I hear through the Herron Audio VTPH-2a. I have heard too many ss designs that sound harsh. I will leave you to listen to your favorite ss phono stage. Good luck. | |
| Help me pick a phono, pre and cart @invictus005 - I didn't know the medical team was able to restore your hearing. What a wonderful development for you. First time you can hear since birth! | |
| Help me pick a phono, pre and cart @rauliruegas Your earlier criticisms of the Herron VTPH-2a contradict your back-peddling comment. And your statement " A good SS design always ( and I mean it. ) performs truer to the recording, tubes can’t do it." is not supported in fact. May... | |
| Help me pick a phono, pre and cart @rauliruegas It's obvious from your latest comment that you don't have any clue about the design of the VTPH-2a. That's not my opinion, it is a reflection of facts. The Herron VTPH-2a is not a pure tube phono stage. And your statement " A goo... | |
| Parasound JC 3+ Phono Preamp Hum Have you finally figured out that it's either an errant power supply or system ground issue, yet? Or are you still going through endless testing rather than just calling Parasound to talk with those who actually know that they are talking about? | |
| SME IV, 309,used vs Origin LiveEncounter MK3cTonearm or Illustrious for J.A. Michell ORBE Cartridge matching is critical. What cartridge are you considering? The SME is a good arm, but overall performance will be limited if it is mismatched with the cartridge. Those blindly recommending an arm without knowing what cartridge is being... | |
| Help me pick a phono, pre and cart @rauliruegas Which models of Herron Audio equipment have you heard? Which carts did you try on those units? | |
| How tight do you tighten a record clamp @rauliruegas Concise is nice. | |
| How tight do you tighten a record clamp @rauliruegas It's all about mating the record to the platter surface. That's why testing the record for that flat contact is the key. Being concise is nice. After all, we are not dealing with intermediate public key infrastructure management te... | |
| Parasound JC 3+ Phono Preamp Hum Then why haven't you called the experts? | |
| Help me pick a phono, pre and cart @almarg Al, you are correct regarding the impedance mismatch. The OP may want to give Keith Herron a call to get his thoughts on mating the VTPH-2a to the Ayre. Sometimes it's OK, sometimes not. But I have always found Mr. Herron to be easy to ... |
