| 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... | |
| Audio Research PH6 Phono Stage - How is it? Any phono stages under consideration need(s) to have a head-to-head with a Herron VTPH-2. In my experience, at that price point, the Herron beats every other phono stage. Also, IMO, the Herron competes favorably with any other phono stage regardle... | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... Interested in hearing the problem. What is your location? I'm in USA and 33PTG not available locally (except eBay or import). Neither is ART7. But ART9 is here now. VERY interested in ART9. Less in 33PTG/II or 33Sa. | |
| Need recommendations on phono amp upgrade No question. Herron VTPH-2. Should be an excellent match. No need to upgrade after the VTPH-2. | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... 99 - Sounds like you had a set-up issue. I haven't had a 33-series cartridge, but the OC9s I've had never had any problems except their stylus would wear out. I want them to live forever, just like me. ;-) | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... 99 - Which models have been reported to have channel separation problems? | |
| Better than the Project Carbon TT for $ 500.00 Why not just rip those remaining 18 LPs down to digital and create CDs? No need for a table (given your initial statement). | |
| Michael Fremer's record cleaning process.... Wagner and Hitler have exactly WHAT to do with MF's record cleaning process? | |
| old AR XA with mods vs Rega RP1 Much better to upgrade to a good arm like a Jelco SA-750D, depending on the cartridge. 750D >>> better than the audimod/rega. | |
| old AR XA with mods vs Rega RP1 You would be disappointed with the Rega. It would be a very big step backwards. |
