| 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.... | |
| Best amplifier and preamp for klipsch heresy 3 A low- to mid-wattage vintage Audio Research tube amp (Maybe a D76 or D79) with an Audio Research tube preamp (SP-6, SP-9, SP-10) would be a good combination with the Heresy III. If you really want to try something interesting, try a Dynaco ST-70... | |
| 5% THD to .000 THD SOUND Doesn't matter. Listen carefully to the amp using YOUR preamp and YOUR speakers. Your preamp needs to be able to drive the amp, the amp needs to be able to handle the load presented by your speakers. The amp needs to be able to provide the rang... | |
| Is the Merill "Gem Dandy" turntable far superior in sound than the Project RPM-3 TT?? To each their own. Like I said, some people like the colorations of the Rega. | |
| Help Picking a turntable inna - absolutely right. You comment is hard to beat. | |
| Help Picking a turntable Amen to the VPI Classic. Very good table at its original price. Discounted, its a great deal. That VPI arm mates very well with an AT OC9/II. Hard to beat at twice the price. | |
| Curious .. What is the compared price of your tt vs spkrs Let's see.... I guess, based on retail price, my tt, arm and cart is around USD 4500 - 5000. Original retail. Phono stage is around USD 3500. So we'll say, conservatively, around USD 7500 - 8000. Conservatively. Speakers... Custom designed ... |
