| Help me improve Rega P2 @Ilik - That's the funniest post I've seen in years. LP12s are more colored than an art museum. | |

| Good sounding Deutsche Grammophon recordings The Paganini Concerto collection, I can't recall the title of the album or the violinist, is a superb DG recording. I just don't have it. I believe the title is something like "Paganini Diabolique" or similar. Terrific performances and (IMO) the b... | |

| Which of these 4 Phono Pre you'dl choose? I would have to agree that the Herron VTPH-2 is the choice at any price point. That said, Herron does take VTPH-1 units in on trade. IMO, a used VTPH-1 in your price range is the very best bang for the buck and still an excellent choice in most pr... | |
| Entry level Phono Stage for Dynavector 10x5 IMO, a Herron VTPH-1 is in a completely different category than others around its used price range. It might be worth a call to Keith Herron to see if he has any used VTPH-1 units he has taken in trade. | |

| upgrade advice from a Linn LP12 If you think your Linn is good, then just go listen to other rigs to see what you like. It shouldn't take long to find something better. | |
| Step up from AT150MLX on Technics 1200 If you are generally satisfied with the AT150MLX, you might want to consider an AT 33EV with a suitable step up device. For an AT, it's a bit warm. | |
| Recommendation on MC cartidge and Phono Preamp If your budget can tolerate the small stretch, you might consider a Herron VTPH-2. I haven't heard anything better. I'd strongly suggest a call to Keith Herron before you buy a different unit. | |
| Zesto vs K & K phono stages All that is true for any piece of high-end gear. Constant upgrades and revisions. It's why I usually qualify my description of the Herron VTPH-2 as being the best I've heard. I haven't heard any other phono stage equal it (most aren't even close),... | |
| What's the best way to clean vinyl records? @Whart - I'm using a VPI 16.5. After I vacuum the rinse from the record, I gently wipe the surface with a clean, "lint free" cloth (usually a spent white t-shirt). | |
| What's the best way to clean vinyl records? @Whart - Yes. | |
| Phono Preamp and Cartridge selection "It is as sonically as good as it gets." Sorry, still getting used to a neW KeYboaRt. |
