| Tube Amp vs Solid State Amp HELP To hell with the measurements and the amp type. You need to listen to the options in YOUR system and make the call yourself. Worry less about the hardware and opinion of others and more about the music. | |
| best phono stage to mate with a London Decca Super Gold cart? If you can get a Herron VTPH-1 for $1500, nothing new or used in that price range will come anywhere close. If you pick up a MC unit, Keith Herron will probably convert it to the proper gain as well as put in the latest mods. Herron might even h... | |
| Lyra Atlas experiences raul - Well, raul, you're wrong. The FET stage is used ONLY for MC amplification. Period. The MM stage is all tube. The FET stage just raises the input to the level where the MM section can optimally handle the signal. The different tube comp... | |
| Lyra Atlas experiences Raul - I have nothing to hide in private emails that can't be said in this thread. I have made my comments public regarding my opinion of Herron Audion equipment. Those views haven't changed. When you're going to retract your comments, then it... | |
| Lyra Atlas experiences raul - I have read numerous comments and opinions from you over the years. Some seem reasonable, some interesting, some I don't necessarily agree with. I have owned to the Herron Audio VTPH-1 and currently, the Herron VTPH-2. I have to disagree... | |
| Used Audio Research Preamp Options Don't get short term satisfaction with long-term disappointment. Get the better-sounding preamp up front. For the $2500, there are few, if any, really great new preamps. There are some used line stages in that price range that some people, like... | |
| How important is Impedance matching between solid state preamp and tube power amp In most cases, the impedance matching issue is between a tube preamp with their typical high output impedance and a solid state amp which could have a [even very] low impedance. Some tube preamps may not be able to drive low impedance ss amps. I... | |
| Would you go all 1 brand for electronics? The benefit of using a single electronics manufacturer is that you're pretty much going to get the same quality sound as the manufacturer does in their reference system. Voicing will work together across the components. The results should be the... | |
| Trafomatic Audio Luna LCR phonostage pani - Just get a Rolls VP29. Or the Shiit Mani. DJs love them. | |
| Trafomatic Audio Luna LCR phonostage I have a novel idea.... Why not listen closely and arrive at your own conclusions? | |
| Best interconnects used for around $500 +? I have been very pleased with Herron Audio cables. I haven't had any reason to change. That said, I have not heard a very wide variety of cables. | |
| Record Revirginizer I never use anything but Disc Doctor fluid and a VPI RCM. If the record is particularly bad, more than one application might be necessary. But the results are consistently excellent. | |
| VPI Classic Platter- Naked or better with a mat? This is a family-oriented forum. Please take your platter porn elsewhere. ;-) | |
| Do they make a quiet great sounding phono pre amp?? raul, when you did your side-by-side comparison between the Klyne and the Herron VTPH-2, what were your specific observations? I'm very interested. I've heard both and have my own personal opinions. | |
| Help search for a phono stage that fits my system IMO, Herron Audio VTPH-2. It's currently the last word in phono stages. Period. Nothing better regardless of cost. And it doesn't cost that much, well under that $5K point. Works great with the DVs and pretty much any other MC, MI or MM cart.... |
