| Tone, Tone, Tone ! Same as yours--tone first, everything else second. | |
| MOBILE FIDELITY ONE STEP VINYL I bought two of the One-Step pressings--The Nightfly and Bill Evans "Portraits". I have only listened to "The Nightfly". I have two other pressings of that recording. The One-Step is AMAZING. Expensive, yes. But the sound quality is off the charts. | |
| Small Floorstander? A pair of Daedalus Athena V2's just came on--grab them. They even come with wheeled platforms so you can move them around. Sound is exactly what you are looking for and they are in your price range. | |
| Herron VTPH-2A final thoughts. That would be a question for Keith. Give him a call and he will set you straight. | |
| Herron VTPH-2A final thoughts. I wish I could comment on the VTSP-360--maybe someday. That said, I am running a VTSP-3A (R03) with my VTPH-2A. All I can say is I went through 3 ARC linestages and 2 Modwright linestages before I decided to bite the bullet and try Keith's. Glad I... | |
| NOS tube alternatives for Herron VTSP 3A r02 Do what Keith says and tweak something else in your system if you need to scratch that itch. | |
| Review: Linear Tube Audio Z10 Integrated Amplifier Great read--thanks for taking the time to share your impressions of the new LTA integrated. As an owner of the ZOTL Ultralinaer, I was nodding my head all the way through. The LTA/Berning partnership is bringing to the music loving population worl... | |
| Daedalus Audio Apollo Speakers Initially, I used some rubber feet on the bottom of the Apollo's so that I could move them about to dial in the best position in my listening room. As I said, I don't have a lot of space to play with so there was very little moving going on--a sli... | |
| Speakers under $50k that rival $200k+ speakers? Daedalus Zeus--heard them at 2018 CAF after spending ten painful minutes in the big VAC/Von Schweikert room (was it $1 million?). The Zeus don't bring bling or boom but the the sound is effortlessly enjoyable and right up there with the best I hav... | |
| 3 great tube preamps. Which would you purchase? J: Cool! Let us know how you like. I was going to recommend Keith's interconnects but you beat me to it. For the money, a no brainer. I heard them in my system and they are very good--you would have to spend lots of money to do a little better. Ch... | |
| 3 great tube preamps. Which would you purchase? You may also want to check out the Herron VTSP-3A or VTSP 360. I would describe the sound the way jtcf describes the LTA, which I have heard and is excellent. To the Herron I would add impeccable timing--the PRaT factor is very high and the dynami... | |
| Cartridge Recommendation for VPI Prime Suggestion: Do the amp and speaker upgrade first and then come back to the cartridge. You don't really know what you are getting from the Soundsmith with the electronics and speakers you are using. Once you have settled on speakers you like and co... | |
| The Harbeth phenomenon Seanheis1--I love Harbeth's but agree with you, they are not the most dynamic or agile speakers. That's why I moved to Daedalus--the accurate tone and midrange purity of Harbeth with greater speed and dynamic capability. | |
| Home demo. ProAc D48R and Spendor D9 Seadog: Coming in at the end of this and maybe you have already made your choice but from the perspective of somebody just picking up the thread and reading from the top it seems clear to me that neither of these speakers are really the whole pack... | |
| New Feikert Volare Finally got a chance to hear the Volare/Origin Live Silver combination. First, the fit and finish of this table is superb, as is the appearance. This is a very well designed, attractive, reasonably-sized turntable that looks and plays well with th... |
