| 16 ohm speakers: any amp sounds better with more resolution. speaker cables less critical. I'm currently comparing my old Zu Audio Druid (16 Ohm, 101dB, about "12 inch driver) to much bigger Tannoy (8 Ohm, 98 - 100 dB, "15 inch driver) and I prefer Zu !

| Anyone try the replica B-60 Fidelity Research VTA? Luis, if there is no engraved serial number near the black knob then it's not the original FR B-60. Just sayin' | |
| Analog Lp As you said your records are pre-1979, and this is true analog recodrings. It was the era when mastering and pressing was on the highest level, Japanese pressing of the same releases normally even better. Listen to your favorite music just like it... | |
| Does Age Matter? Nothing can replace records. We can listen to digital, yes, so what? The whole world is digital now, music is free in digital format, for most people it’s just something on background like radio. But not everyone is so lazy, record collecting was ... | |

| Herron VTPH-2A Phono Preamp....anyone familiar? Oops, I made a mistake and misread the Yamaha and Yamamoto from my phone for some reason. So you don’t even own Yamamoto :) Now i think it’s you who must read what is Yamamoto A-08s and read the reviews and check the price. I did my search about ... | |
| Does Age Matter? One thing I don’t understand, why people talking about digital like it’s something they do not have for free? You have to buy records and turntables, but digital is free even on your phone, streaming is free, there are so many sites anyone can fin... | |
| Herron VTPH-2A Phono Preamp....anyone familiar? My amplifier is the Yamaha A-S3000 integrated. I'm not going to add a separate preamp. I don't need additional power so that rules out a power amp. My mono TT uses a high output MC mono cartridge. My stereo TT uses a MM cart. If I ever upgrade t... | |
| Turn Table Cable Length Your cartridge is MM/MI or MC? | |
| Phono pre amp Ok, this is your cartridge, this is a very nice phono stage you can use not only with your VdH cartridge, but for two MC/MM at the same time. Loading and gain is adjustable! | |
| Phono pre amp Phono preamp is for cartridge, not for turntable. If you have Moving Coil cartridge look at the cartridge output first and then look for MC phono stage designed to run a cartridge with such output. Almost any dedicated phono stage will be better t... | |
| What about Uni Din? I find Lofgren B, Stevensen, Uni Din or anything that is more leading edge forward in the arm to actually sound that way - forward. When you align a cartridge by Stevenson it will be backward (not forward) compared to Baerwald on a tonearm. | |

| Cartridges for Music Genre’s The FR-7fc is the one with Conical tip, I think we discussed all models in FR-7 series with detailed info in this topic: https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/fidelity-research-cartridges | |
| Herron VTPH-2A Phono Preamp....anyone familiar? If you think your system sounds great, why not just stick with it? Keep in mind that if you go with tubes, you may end up going down the "rabbit hole", spending countless hours and dollars looking to get the lowest noise and highest performing tub... |
