| Allnic 1201 and Herron VTPH-2 tablejockey-You specifically said " The Allnic, based on all the reviews, has the superior transformer and associated circuitry." That isn't statement construction. So where are ALL the reviews that you are citing? Where are ANY of the reviews... | |
| Allnic 1201 and Herron VTPH-2 tablejockey - Please provide the sources for the reviews related to the Allnic vs. Herron transformers. Did any of the reviews cite the superior performance of the Herron or did they focus on the transformers? | |
| Jelco SA-750D or Rega RB250 Jelco SA-750D. Period. I can't think of any Stock Rega that is in the same league. Haven't heard ALL the arms using Rega parts, but EVERY Rega-based arm has the same sonic signature. | |
| VPI Analogue Drive System All the "speed control" fanatics are completely missing the point and the REAL issue. Speed control is NOT the issue. It is VOLTAGE control. At wall voltages, the motor will generate pulses that are carried to the table through the belt (or dri... | |
| Jeff Rowland to what? I have been very satisfied with a pair of Herron Audio M1 amps. I'm pretty much focused on sound rather than artistic cases or how much an amp costs and the Herron equipment never disappoints. Without any consideration for cost, the Herron M1s w... | |
| KT-88 vs. EL34 KT-88 or EL34 doesn't matter 1%. It's all about the overall amp design. No point in conversions if the basic amp is not a good design to start with. | |
| Best Record You Have Ever heard The Decca / London recording of the Solti / Vienna performance of Wagner's Ring Cycle, particularly "Gotterdammerung". The entire box set. Hands down the VERY BEST vinyl I've heard. Even the CDs (with a very good DAC) are better than most vinyl. | |
| Specific Pre-Amp advice Up your budget and but a Herron Audio VTSP-3a. There might be a used one around. Definitely hold out for it. You shouldn't have to worry about upgrading the pre-amp again. | |
| Separate conductors for separate frequency ranges in cables I’m an unofficial non-paid non-actor spokesman for the Interplanetary High-End Audio Speaker Cable Manufacturers and Wire Recycle Association, LLC (pending). We feel that it’s a great idea to use very long runs of the most expensive speaker cable ... | |
| Need Help Ripping My CD Collection Audacity. Period.. VERY flexible. Converts formats. Great software without a big learning curve. And it's free. And it can edit tunes. And do playback. It will not do the dishes or make your bed. | |
| Anyone know anything about any of this equipment? LINN, AYRE, TICE, ETC. Try a careful web search. You can dig up original retail value and what that equipment currently sells for. | |
| Speaker upgrade... You have given no personal listening preferences or the type of music you enjoy, size of your listening room, electronics, WAF influence or any other background information. | |
| Best divorce album? Willy Nelson "On the Road Again" or The Who "Won't Get Fooled Again" | |
| Phoenix Engineering Falcon and Eagle Stringreen - I don't have speed variation issues. What I notice is the pulses from the motor being transmitted through the belt to the platter. Reducing the voltage reduces the magnitude of the pulses which reduces the noise. The speed holds qu... | |
| Phoenix Engineering Falcon and Eagle slaw - You must absolutely hate many of the electronics manufacturers. Many put out products only to offer costly upgrades and improved products in a truncated product life-cycle. Frustrating. But technology along with R&D drive the improve... |
