| Parasound Halo JC 3 vs Whest PS .30R for the Lyra Delos Solid state used to have a higher potential for low noise. But in the last few years, those low-noise components are being manufactured differently to save costs. Specifically, they are not receiving the same "baking" as earlier manufactured sem... | |
| Upgrade from a Benz Micro Ace SH What are you looking for? What kind of music do you enjoy? Is there any specific shortcoming you want to fix? You really need to I wouldn't stereotype AT carts as sounding thing. Especially if you're interested in a Lyra.To my ear, Grados soun... | |
| ARC VS60 Amp question It means nothing. Just marketing hype. | |
| how much better is the kuzma 4 point then my TTW Jelco I measured it very carefully. The answer is 4. | |
| Which Preamp Audio Research LS3B or Sonic Frontiers SFL-1 Is that "minimal sum" more than a better performing used Herron VTSP-1 cost? | |
| Differences between VPI Prime and Aries 2 I'd keep the Aries and see about upgrading the platter to a Classic / Prime platter or an Avenger platter. Might need some spacers under the arm and maybe a SDS (or similar) to adjust the platter speed. | |
| Class "A" phono cartridge discussion. I agree, melm. But I also question the legitimacy of ANY reviews where less than 20 people participate in completely blind testing using a variety of DIFFERENT equipment combinations. Too many times a review is discussed with a reviewer over a man... | |
| Class "A" phono cartridge discussion. My bias slants toward AT ART9. But even though it betters most on the "A" list, it won't get there because it is too inexpensive.The Goldfinger does NOT belong on the list. | |
| Ubuntu and Peachtree Audio DAC Is it ubuntu or a disto, like Mint, that is using ubuntu as a base? I have doubts that it's the o/s itself, but the desktop apps might be the issue. | |
| Upgrading to an external Phonostages for my system (I'm posting, therefore, this comment must be about the Herron Audio phono stages.) I personally own and have heard NOTHING better at any price than the Herron VTPH-2. To my ears, it is not bettered by any phono stage, though I admit I have not ... | |
| Class "A" phono cartridge discussion. Forget Stereophile's list. It is subject to the biases of the reviewers, equipment interaction, their latest medical condition(s), what they had for dinner, the last "conversation" with their boss and how much wine they had during the listening s... | |
| 6922 tube selection I'm trying to 3D print vacuum tubes and the 6922 is at the top of my list. I'm trying to figure out how to 3D print the actual vacuum. | |
| what pre-amps to try Herron VTSP-1 or VTSP-3. Used can be acquired for $3K with a little luck. Upgrade to current levels for great performance. | |
| Preamp recommendation please.. The amp has an input impedance of 100k ohms. That opens up the field to include most tube pre-amps. My suggestion is to try to find a used Herron VTSP-3 even if it might be a little above your budget.An alternative would be a Herron VTSP-1. Kei... | |
