| 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. | |

| Preamp Deal Of The Century- Update @mickm - Why are you self-promoting your business in a discussion forum? | |
| Preamp Deal Of The Century- Update In that price category, I haven't heard anything remotely close to the Herron Audio VTPH-2a / VTSP-360 combo. In fact, I have heard nothing at any price that approaches that Herron Audio combo. | |
| Have Passive Preamps Finally Come of Age? @jadedavid Are you sure tues add odd-order harmonics? I mean REALLY sure? I know transistors add odd-order harmonics, but is that the case for tubes? | |
| Have Passive Preamps Finally Come of Age? @georgehifi The PP can certainly filter out signal. And yes, it's due to an impedance mismatch. | |
| Have Passive Preamps Finally Come of Age? Passive preamps are seductively transparent. They seem like qualified components in a dealer showroom. But living with them for longer periods can be tiring. The PPs suck dry musical dynamics, timing and related details. When compared side-by-... | |
| Best phono cartridge under $350 If your phono stage can handle LOMC, then, in my carefully selective listening opinion, an AT OC9/II is your best choice (shop around and you can meet your price point). If not, there are a lot of MM / MI carts and a couple of HOMC carts that will... | |
| Replacing Lyra Kleos at end of its life need suggestions as to what next? If you want to upgrade from the Kleos, please send the Kleos to me. I can help dispose of the cartridge. I will even pay shipping and more. Seriously. |
