| Cartridge or Pre Amp @chakster And the upgrade cycle will be never-ending. Spending a bit more up front will end future money spend on continuing the mediocre performance of cheap electronics. Using a Herron VTPH-2a will certainly make the AT150MLX sing up to its po... | |
| Dynavector cartridges, old and new @lewm "Raul has." LOL!! | |
| Cartridge or Pre Amp Get a Herron Audio VTPH-2a and never have to worry about phono stage performance. It is as good as it gets and can handle high-output and low-output cartridges with equal aginity. And the price for such a stellar performer is competitive with ev... | |
| Dynavector cartridges, old and new @chakster There's a Dynavector Karak Nova 13D in the cartridge section of the 'gon for sale listings. | |
| If You Were A Swine Looking To Choose Between 3 Preamps... Swine - you don't mention price or budget. A used Allnic will probably cost more than a new Herron Audio VTSP-360 and will likely NOT outperform the Herron. | |
| Jelco TK-850L review I can find no info on VTA adjustment. Does this arm have some kind of VTA-on-the-fly adjustability or is it another arm that has frustrating manual stop-everything-and-guess VTA adjustment? | |
| What is the typical resistance across the various terminals of a MC phono cartridge? Pretty much EVERY MC cartridge provides this information in their specs. I recall values ranging from 5 ohms to 40 ohms. But I'm probably erring. | |

| Soundsmith Optimized Contour Contact Line Stylus for Rebuild After serious consideration and consultation with those who actually work on cartridges, I have settled on having Soundsmith install a boron cantilever with a line contact stylus on the Clavis DC I sent there a few weeks ago. | |
| Recommended cork platter for my SL 1200 GR Technics TT I might suggest an alternate approach. And maybe the culprit isn't the turntable. Maybe you are generating static electricity which discharges when you touch the table. So try this.... Grab a small allen wrench (usually plenty around audio equ... | |
| Recommended cork platter for my SL 1200 GR Technics TT I might suggest dusting off the record while the platter is spinning. Use a good fine carbon fiber brush like an Audioquest carbon record brush to see if that helps. | |
| Please evaluate my system... Keith Herron is the best person to contact directly to determine the ease of getting his equipment into the UK. It's not rocket surgery, but there is a process. | |
| Please evaluate my system... A few OPINIONS on three of the suggested changes.... These are opinions based on my experience. Others have probably had different experiences. YMMV.A nice and effective room treatment is just the addition of a lot of artificial plants. Doesn'... | |
| Please evaluate my system... I not only have direct experience, I have owned a VTPH-1mc and upgraded to the VTPH-2 and then had that unit upgraded to a VTPH-2a. I also own a VTSP-3a R03 preamp. I am a Herron Audio fan because of their products' performance. I have also own... | |
| Please evaluate my system... Lose the Linn and get a Herron VTPH-2a. Eventually get a better cart. |
