| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... I use an OC9/II with "infinite loading" on a Herron VTPH-2. VERY GOOD. | |
| Cleaning flood damaged vinyls CALL, don't email, Duane Goldman (The Disc Doctor). He may have some suggestions and might be willing to mix up some special cleaner to address your special cleaning needs. He has been studying record cleaning for probably 40 years, I doubt there ... | |
| Are Lyra Cartridges Repairable to 2nd Owner? They can be repaired. Either your dealer is ignorant of the policy or trying to make a quick sale. | |
| What is your recommendation on upgrading a Linn LP Replace the Linn with a VPI Prime / 3D atm. Nothing can be done to a Linn that will make it sound nearly as good as a modern design. VPI Prime with the 3D arm is probably one of hte better bang for the buck table / arm combos today. | |
| Turntable recommendation for under 6k With your budget and equipment, I suggest a VPI Prime table / arm combo and an AT ART-9 cartridge. That gives you a great bang for the bud vinyl front-end.That will leave some money to work on other components. Yes, the amp should be next upgrade ... | |
| Turntable recommendation for under 6k How about some background information? What are you using in the rest of your system? What phono stage? | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... Dodge - Please post your impressions of the ART-9. The more information available, the better it will be for those of us looking to step up. From my perspective, stepping up from an OC-9ML/II. | |
| Best Used Phono preamp around $2500 And Yogi, why would I have under-performing equipment in my system? Face it. The quicksilver just isn't in the same league as the Herron. | |
| Best Used Phono preamp around $2500 Yogi - Because I've heard the Herron VTPH-2 in a LOT of other systems and they ALL outperformed the Quicksilver and every other phono stage. In MY zip code, it's called objective evaluation. | |
| Best Used Phono preamp around $2500 I did not have the Quicksilver in my home system. Heard it in a couple of other systems. I don't think different tubes would help bring it up to a competitive level with a Herron VTPH-1, much less a VTPH-2. | |
| Micro Seiki MA 505 Arm - how good is it? I had a MA-505/II for a while on a VPI TNT. I thought it was very good on that table with a Clavis da Capo. I would personally avoid silver conductors ANYWHERE in a system, but YMMV. | |
| Best Used Phono preamp around $2500 Yogi - Almost all of my listening is to classical music, mostly from the late 1800s to modern day. In my system, the Herron VTPH-2 has no sonic signature. It is extremely clean sounding top to bottom. Very detailed. It is not warm or bloated, nor ... | |
| Best Used Phono preamp around $2500 yogi - not even close to a Herron. Not even in the same zip code. | |
| Best Used Phono preamp around $2500 If there is a Herron VTPH-2 for sale around $2500, there is no need to look further. I have one. I have never heard anything better. Period.I have no financial interest in Herron Audio. | |
| Is it time for a phono stage? There are a lot of fabulous phono stages in the price range you mention. I haven't heard them all; I have heard a large sampling of them. But I have heard the Herron VTPH-2 and it bettered everything in its price range. Bettered them by a large ma... |
