First impression: Herron VTPH-2A phono preamp
@professorsvsu. Did you send it into the factory to have it checked out and updated if needed? I did that with several companies where the products had multiple owners. (I couldn’t recall your purchase history of this one.). I sent gear back to Au...

@professorsvsu. Glad you’re enjoying your Herron phono stage. I owned one about a decade ago and loved it.  
Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord?
@bg1968 amazing find. Lol 
Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord?
@debjit_g. Go ahead. Let us know when you get the product and your thoughts about it! 
How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp?
So @honashagen what did you decide for your preamp, the Ayre unit? 
Have Passive Preamps Finally Come of Age?
@tweak1 there you go again with the snarky remarks. I’m not going to post anymore Q’s to you. I’ll just make two statements to suggest you are deceiving yourself with your equipment choices and rebuttal remarks to others. First, a 600 ohm increase... 
Have Passive Preamps Finally Come of Age?
@tweak1 why do you think that class D amplifiers are the way to go here? It seems that your bias is that class D represents the SOTA. Is that your position here?  And why do you believe an amplifier’s inherent power output potential is too much po... 
Have Passive Preamps Finally Come of Age?
@tweak1  Wow. I’m sorry you took offense to my post. Remind me not to suggest anything again on one of your threads. You seem fairly confident in shooting down everyone’s suggestions with some defensive or snide remark.  
Non-audiophile needs help with older system.
Might be worthwhile to have the electronics and speakers checked out by a local electronics service shop. The price paid for that is worth more than tinkering endlessly trying to sort stuff out on your own time. That’s an audiophile’s hobby activi... 
New D'Agostino Monoblocks...$250,000
Wow. This must be meant for the Asian market. Even those billionaires in the States surely must know their limits to the spending madness.  
Have Passive Preamps Finally Come of Age?
@georgehifi I agree with your assessment of impedance mismatch between the Hattor passive (unbuffered) preamp and the choices of amplifiers that tweak1 selected. @tweak1 You initiated this thread discussing passive preamps, yet you have nearly cha... 
Have Passive Preamps Finally Come of Age?
@teo_audio  I presume you’re discussing the Liquid Pre.  
Only One XLR (Balanced) Input - Cable w/ Two Sets of Output?
Here is a 3:1 stereo XLR switcher you can pick up at Amazon. Be aware during your search to inquire about audio clicks and pops during switching. I’ve heard that such can be pretty loud. Nobsound Little Bear 3(1)-IN-1(3)-OUT XLR Balance Stereo Aud...

@amg56:This business is a cottage industry. Small outfits grow too quickly (real or illusory) and collapse when they can’t deliver. The unfortunate fact is the loss of faith and funds by forthright consumers like yourself. Hold you head high for b...

@amg56 I wish you well in health.  There is a new audiogon member pajjohnson who claims to possess brand new NOS units of some CPT products obtained from Mark. The listing was posted within a couple hours of the klh007 post above. Since that post ...
