Herron VTPH-1 vs Allnic H1201
Just to update an old thread. I sent unit back to Keith and have been very happy with the results. I also switched to EH gold pin tubes which opened up the unit considerably. Thinking about pulling the trigger on the VTPH-2 but it's still a lot of... 
Anyone Using Harbeths with Grilles off?
Just saw these reponses. Thanks! I agree. Enjoying them way more with the grilles off! 
Recommend A More Dynamic Monitor Than Harbeth C7
Thanks for the suggestions. I'll check out the Reynauds and the ATCs for sure because I have access to them. What benefit do you get from the magic stands, besides magic? It's a decor issue. 
What's the solid state amp to buy $2500?
They are fantastic. I am getting exactly what I wanted... still 97% of the sweetness of the SET amps with way more dynamics and no fuss! I never thought that would matter but it's nice to not have to worry about the amps the way you do with tube a... 
God I Miss My Quad ESL57s
I've tried both the P3ESR and Fritz and in my space, which sadly won't work with Quads no matter what I do because it's sort of one open room with a room divider. For me, those smaller speakers weren't even close to the C7s nearfield. The second b... 
Denon 103S is a real good cartridge
I loved the EMT but my system needs have changed so I'm going with a Lyra Delos. I was using it on a Well Tempered Simplex with a Herron VTPH-1 loaded at whatever was recommended. Can't remember. 
Loricraft PRC3 could use some help
No perfect solution so far. I checked vacuum pressure and it seems good. I flushed the armtube with hot water and I decreased tracking pressure to zero. The only thing that does work is going back to the outside-in method of vacuuming which I gues... 
Loricraft PRC3 could use some help
Ok. I'll try this. Thanks. 
What's the solid state amp to buy $2500?
Herron's here and fantastic! Upgrade to M1As. All the sweetness of the SET amps with jazz and Americana but with so much more drive, dynamics, and power when I listen to more spirited music. 
Two Shelf Amp Stand?
Thanks. That AudioAdvisor shelf is perfect. 
Anywhere to trade cartridges?
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll be careful! 
What's the solid state amp to buy $2500?
Just found a pair of Herron's! Thanks for all the help! 
What's the solid state amp to buy $2500?
The Joules are a bit too lush for me these days. I'm looking for something more dynamic. Been playing guitar a lot so I'm wanting a tiny bit more of a studio sound. Just leaning over to that side some, although maybe some ATC Active Speakers are i... 
Which integrated tube amp to go with which speaker
Harbeths for sure. But the best I've heard with the Harbeths are the Line Magnetic integrateds. Just super sweet. I've had the 218IA with my C7s and it's really an incredible combo. 
Opinions on bang for the buck on TT & tonearm
Here's the thing, we all hear different. As we age our ears change so one man's illusion of being there is another man's cd-like sound. It's really hard to spend $6K wisely unless you are willing to listen to all types of turntables to find out wh...
