| VPI, Graham, Koetsu advice please M - My opinion is 180 degrees opposite yours. That's why both our comments are opinions. I still think the difference is a mismatch of the cart-to-SUT. That is a critical link and varies greatly with cartridges and SUTs. If that matching is not sp... | |
| Soundsmith Phono-Pre, Any comments? IMO, the advantage of a Herron VTPH-2 is that there is no need for future upgrades. It is a top performer and can handle input from either low or high output cartridges without modification or front-end SUTs. | |
| Phono stage w/automatic Load-Impedanance. Impedance mismatch? | |
| VPI, Graham, Koetsu advice please Poonbean, if you're just having no end of problems with the Koetsu, I'd take it off your hands. All kidding aside, I could test it in a similar but different rig. Original Aries (Extended) with JMW-12, but into a Herron VTPH-2. No SUT. I am VERY f... | |
| VPI, Graham, Koetsu advice please It could be a mismatch between the SUT and the Koetsu. | |
| Phono stage w/automatic Load-Impedanance. My cart sounds it's best at the highest cartridge loading available on my phono stage. AT OC9/II and Herron VTPH-2. | |
| Phono stage w/automatic Load-Impedanance. Czarivey - I'm with you. No SUT, just a silent high-gain mc input stage. Chakster - Are you in any way associated with the company or designer that produces this unit? | |
| Phono stage w/automatic Load-Impedanance. There's ONLY one parameter that counts. So, how does it sound? | |
| Soundsmith Phono-Pre, Any comments? The SoundSmith phono stage can probably get the cartridge to sound as good as it can. There are likely better phono staqes available, but not voiced for the SoundSmith carts. | |
| Soundsmith Phono-Pre, Any comments? I have not heard any phono pre-amp better than a Herron, but they are in a different price range. You might be able to find a used Herron VTPH-1 in the market. If it is a MC unit, Herron could convert it to MM/high output. Then you wouldn't have t... | |
| Advice on phono pre I don't have a financial interest in Herron Audio components. You have a FINANCIAL INTEREST. That's the difference. I can describe what I hear honestly and without FINANCIAL INTEREST in the business, just an enjoyment of music.I can own any compon... | |
| Advice on phono pre It appears more that you are saying the articles are from the maker, not that you're self-promoting. But you're still promoting your own products. That's completely unethical on a forum like this. I don't think I would ever do business with someon... | |
| Advice on phono pre Doug, there is no disclosure in this thread. The conflict of interest seems to be supported in this thread. If you are responsible for policing the threads, you can see for yourself the obvious and blatant conflict. | |
| Advice on phono pre But you're promoting your own products. That is a clear conflict of interest. You should only be here to offer technical support advice like Jon Carr instead of hawking your products. Shameful self-interest. | |
| Advice on phono pre The information provided indicated that PBN (Pbnaudio?) is the manufacturer of the B2B-1 unit. |
