| New TT for ~$1500 Well Tempered Simplex. I would choose it over any turntable mentioned here. Great sound, great looking. Cost me $3.5k to find something that was clearly better. | |
| Herron VTSP-2a vs EAR 324 Thanks for the info. I've tried all the options. I don't think it's uncommon to not hear a difference. Some cartridges are affected more than others. | |
| Herron VTSP-2a vs EAR 324 I demoed an Accession for a couple weeks. It was really enjoyable sounding. Not at the level of the 324 but pretty incredible for 1/4 of the price. | |
| Herron VTSP-2a vs EAR 324 I've experimented with the settings and I have to say I'm not hearing much of a difference with any of them. I have tried both inputs and the MM only input sounds better for sure, yet all the impedance and capacitance values sound basically the same. | |
| Herron VTSP-2a vs EAR 324 So the 324 is quite good. Not sure it’s as tactile or has as good of soundstage as a top tube phono pre but no noise is a pretty good trade off.... so far. One thing for sure is the 324 benefits from being left on. I wasn't sure at first but I thi... | |
| Purchasing vinyl online I've had great experiences with Discogs. In the cases of the two records I received that weren't as described, the sellers quickly refunded my money and didn't even ask for the record back. That said, Dusty Groove out of Chicago is my go to place... | |
| Bought the 3 step Audio Intelligent Vinyl Solution Yeah I keep watching those Degritter videos and pulling out the credit card and then right before I put in the 3-digit security code, I freak out. I think with the AI attempt, I've gone as far as I can to prove that I need one. Of course it would ... | |
| Rega P10 v Complete rebuild Garrard 401! I think your decision to go to someone like Chris is a good one. Idlers aren't alway plug and play so unless you're comfortable getting inside one it's good to make sure to buy from a reputable source. Audio Grail 401s blow my mind and I've almost... | |
| Herron VTSP-2a vs EAR 324 Thanks cdavids449! I have heard the Aethetix and that's a great comparison for me. I bought the 324 listed here. Hopefully it'll be what I'm looking for. It'll certainly be a very interesting and fun experiment. | |
| Herron VTSP-2a vs EAR 324 bdp24 I actually don't have the Herron any more. I was just using it a point of reference. I loved it with my prior cartridges but with the Decca I found a couple phono preamps that sounded better. Thanks so much for your other advice though! Real... | |
| Herron VTSP-2a vs EAR 324 Thanks millercarbon I think that's exactly where I stand right now. Tempted. Thanks for a very useful response! | |
| Herron VTSP-2a vs EAR 324 Well, have you ever been on the website bringatrailer.com? People buy cars and boats and motorcycles, some incredibly expensive, in just this way. It’s a vibrant community of enthusiasts who post opinions and suggestions, somewhat similar to here.... | |
| Herron VTSP-2a vs EAR 324 Hmmm. Because specifically tube components sound different than solid state components and in this particular case, I'm comparing only these two very different units? I know from experience that both of these companies reproduce music exceptionall... | |
| What is the best solid state amplifier you have ever heard? Herron M1A's. Made me forget about my obsession with tube amps. | |
| Phono Preamp Tube Rush Sorry to OP for my off topic trip.No worries. Enjoying the diversion on this horrible day. |
