Well, I will weigh in on this one. I got the Herron VTPH-2 first, Loved it. Very quiet, very musical. Loved it so much ordered a pre-amp. Loved that too. Was very impressed after comparing to a number of other preamps. Then amp time, auditioned a ... 
Audio Desk Record Cleaner
Isochronism, yes, it is filtered, it is the filtering process that is important. When I was a grad student we made our own lab water with a very nice filter system. Started out with tap water. Could be toilet water for that matter as long as one f... 
Music Hall Cruise Control work with NottinghamTT?
Take a look at the big auction site, devine audio has the nottingham wavemechanic for US at a very attractive price. That is where I got mine. I ordered it online on a sunday evening about 11pm and had it in my hands on thursday in the midwest.

Supplied fluid, it would be difficult to use something else as the ultrasonic bubbles would likely cause severe foaming in most cases. 
verity audio parsifal
I have not changed them but I did audition the ovation (with the aluminum platform)comparing it to my latest edition encores and could not tell a difference blinded. Now, set up was a little different but they sounded very similar. That being said...

Neilnz, it sounds like your a dealer. Are you in the US or other location? This may be a problem with high demand and limited availabilty affecting product being sent to the US and the only report we get is from the US dealers and US importer. Per... 
Tax return burning a hole in my pocket
I have a VPI, nice cleaner. lots of solutions, takes too much time though. Also, I am not looking to lots of records, just really nice records. My limit is 2000, then when I add new ones I have to get rid of old ones to make room. 
Nottingham TT - external power supply?
I also tried both. Either is a nice upgrade and would recommend both. I ended up keeping the Wave Mechanic with Audience PC e and Stillpoints. 
Audio Store in Twin Cities?
Boy, I have not had the experience that Maplegrovemusic has had at HiFi sound. Their staff has always been very helpful, very knowledgeable, very accomodating and patient. I had a very good experience there. They also have a very large collection ... 
Review: Herron VTSP-3A R02 Linestage
I started with the VTSP-3A preamp, later added the phono stage. A few months ago after auditioning many different power amps I decided on the Herron M1-A mono amps. I must say, of all of the pieces I am most impressed with the M1A amps. Perhaps it...

US copyright law also stipulates continued ownership of the physical originating copy. 
Who is Linn of New Hampshire
Ha, go to their web site. Look at their "gallery" of installations. It will probably tell you more about Linn of NH than any words can. I have never heard them, perhaps they sound as unique as their speakers look on their web site. 
Nordost Frey interconnect hum
I also have found hum to be a problem with the RCA barrels when loose. 
Belles Reference 150A or Reference 350A?
I am very familiar with the 802D and owned the Ref 150 for a few years and spent time with the Ref. 350. I would strongly favor the 350, more power, more control etc. I would make sure you either got a new one or if used that it had the soft start...
