| Which phono preamps among these three? have you auditioned a Herron VTPH-2? | |
| Any Herron VTPH-2 Phono Stage Owners out there? BNpd24 - I'm very interested in a Decca cart. How does it sound, especially with the modified VTPH-1? | |
| Any Herron VTPH-2 Phono Stage Owners out there? Spend as much as you want, try all the phono stages you'd like in your system. Broken record or not, I'm here to tell you the VTPH-2 is the very best phono stage I've ever heard. I haven't heard anything better.I don't mind taking criticism about ... | |
| First in line... I'd suggest test driving a Herron VTPH-2 phono stage and a VTSP-2 line stage. | |
| Thorens TD 160-significant upgrade possible $1500? "moving coil" not "moving could" Sary fir thet tyypings airor. | |
| Thorens TD 160-significant upgrade possible $1500? My opinion is that you have a good basic set-up. The weak link seems to be the Grado cartridge. Replacing it with a decent medium or high output moving could cartridge could be just what you're looking for with out breaking the bank. A Denon DL-11... | |
| First in line... That table / arm / cart combo doesn't have any balls? Are you serious? That should NOT be the problem with that combo. I would suggest looking at your downstream electronics. What's the rest of your system? | |
| Soundsmith Phono-Pre, Any comments? Congrats Adeep42. Sounds like you found a winner for your system. | |

| Phono stage w/automatic Load-Impedanance. How can a cartridge be autoloaded when the manufacturer specifies a particular load to voice a cartridge? (Sounds like more audio hooey and snake oil to me.) | |
| Soundsmith Phono-Pre, Any comments? Good for you. Please let us know your impressions and how well it mates up with your cartridge. | |
| VPI, Graham, Koetsu advice please Larryi - that's a good point. The two carts are pretty much on the opposite ends of the listening preference scale. A Koetsu will never sound like a Lyra unless both are parked on the arm rest. | |
| Soundsmith Phono-Pre, Any comments? Look it up, chack. Plenty of posts by me and others making comparisons. | |
| Soundsmith Phono-Pre, Any comments? Quoted the wrong text. It should have been "I'm still contemplating the the plus and minus of going the Soundsmith route or spending a lot extra for something with more flexibility that might suit some future cartridge whim." | |
| Soundsmith Phono-Pre, Any comments? I was relating back to your previous post where you said "However, it also points out the big dilemma, $3650 for a great pre and future flexibility vs $650 for a pre that is probably well voiced for my current cart." I read that as saying that you... |
