Harbeth 30.1 upgrade from C7ES-3 Question I'm using Foundation stands and I already have 30.1 Foundation stands that I got from a friend when he upgraded to 40s. It's a tricky loft kind of room, actually large but then split by a room divider. Speakers sit in the middle, clear of any wall... | |
Ever Bought an Audio Product that was Stupid Good for the Money? Beautifully cared for and set up Linn LP12 Ittok for $650. | |
Arm Upgrade Suggestion? Sorry about the lack of a budget in the post. I think I can stretch to $2500.I appreciate all the great suggestions! | |
Thorens 124 a little noisy http://www.schopper.ch/index.php?page=step-pulley-bushings-9011 The step pulley that changes the speed. Both my motor pulley and idle are totally silent. I did some research this morning and I see that Schopper says they have a solution but it had... | |
Thorens 124 a little noisy Thanks for that explanation. I've talked to a few rebuilders now and it's sort of the dirty little secret: the very early ones had a poorly designed brass bearing on the step pulley which Thorens quickly redesigned. They aren't retrofittable. I ha... | |
does anyone know how to contact mitch singerman itchmay1@yahoo.com | |
Herron VTPH-2 12ax7 Recommendations? One thing though, the "matched" teles were not so I’ve had to adjust the balance on my VTSP to 1 o’clock. Keith says no sonic penality, but it makes me nervous.... | |
Herron VTPH-2 12ax7 Recommendations? Went ahead finally and bought from a well reviewed seller on eBay a matched low noise pair of Telefunken 12ax7 smooth plates. I'm not sure how it's possible to make such a great phono pre better but somehow these tubes do. It's just more of everyt... | |
Herron VTPH-2 12ax7 Recommendations? I feel like I have to say again how truly fantastic the VTPH-2 is. If you are in the market for a phono stage, even if your budget is twice the $3650 it costs, make sure you listen to one!Also Herron's customer service is second to none. That make... | |
Herron VTPH-2 12ax7 Recommendations? Thanks everyone! I did speak to Keith and he kinda said what he said to you.... which is why I was asking for suggestions. It seems like at some point towards the end of the year, I might just invest in a pair of smooth plate Teles and give them a... | |
Help me choosing Phono Preamp I just bought a VTPH-2. I've owned a ASR Basis Exclusive and the Alnic 1201. Enjoyed them both. Like the Herron much better than the Alnic and at least as much as the ASR which is double the cost. | |
Review: Herron Audio VTSP-3A (RO3) Linestage M1As are a dream. I have a full Herron stack and it's been three best audio experience of my life dealing with Keith! | |
Upgrade Linn LP 12 or buy new table I found a very good way to get an improved sound from my Brooks Berdan set up LP12/Ittok/Armageddon was to sell it and buy a Well Tempered Simplex or Amadeus. No more worries about the bounce and it’s a better sounding table to my ear, while still... | |
Do top Idler drive tables fall short to top belt drives in any particular area. Any good turntable requires some TLC, as it should be. It's a hobby. I wouldn't want something that didn't need intervention occasionally. I don't think there's any right answer to the idler wars. I think any idler can be made to sound great. I wo... | |
Do top Idler drive tables fall short to top belt drives in any particular area. I've had a Thorens 124 for 2 months now. I rebuilt and restored what I could, took it to an expert and dropped some money on a motor rebuild and an SME 3012/2 refresh and rewire. I put it in what I think is an original Thorens rigid Baltic birch p... |
