| VPI Avenger Not sure what accounts for the vitriol here. The OP had seen and heard the Avenger at RMAF, was impressed, and was hoping some folks who own one might report on their experiences to help with an upgrade decision. What followed were some pretty sha... | |
| New Transformer on the Pole Very interesting...thanks everyone for responding. I am the first feed off the pole and am enjoying the free upgrade! | |
| VPI Classic Platter- Naked or better with a mat? Hey guys I've been using a Herbies Way Excellent II mat for the past few weeks and find this way better (pardon the pun) than the naked platter. Highly recommended! | |
| Review: Herron Audio VTSP-3A (RO3) Linestage Facten: Not sure but within the six months or so I am guessing. | |
| What Does a Cartridge Compliance/Tonearm Mass Mismatch Sound Like? Thanks, gents. Is it correct to say that there are different DEGREES of mismatch which might manifest differently? What I am hearing is low frequency rumble/distortion that is inaudible unless the volume is cranked up. Interestingly, the rumble/di... | |
| Cart Recommendations I ran the Dyna XXIIMKII for a while and now have the ART 9. Though the AT did not replace the Dyna so I did not have the opportunity to compare head-to-head my sense is that the ART 9 is pretty darn better across the board. For $1K it is an unbeli... | |
| VPI Classic Platter- Naked or better with a mat? I'm using an Acoustech electronic stylus force gauge--have for years. I'm wondering if anyone is using the same and found this: When I put the gauge down on the aluminum platter, it won't zero out. It flits about with positive and negative numbers... | |
| VPI Classic Platter- Naked or better with a mat? Ordered a Herbies Way Excellent II mat yesterday. I'll post when I have had some time listening with and without the mat. Thanks everyone. | |
| Do they make a quiet great sounding phono pre amp?? Again, the Herron. It replaced a very quiet solid state unit (Whest PS30RDT) which is well regarded sonically. The Herron is as quiet and sonically far superior. | |
| Review: Herron Audio VTSP-3A (RO3) Linestage Hey John:I'm on vacation so can't really give you a proper response. That said, the unit which just came on is very well priced and I cannot imagine a better value line stage for that money. If you would like to discuss my path and experience with... | |
| VPI Classic Platter- Naked or better with a mat? Miner can you tell me exactly which model Herbies mat you purchased? Also, did it help reduce static in the winter? | |
| VPI Classic Platter- Naked or better with a mat? Just installed a Classic platter and bearing on my Scout. The platter came with a mat from VPI that features their logo and strobe markings on the perimeter. It appears to be made of a type of fiber and is about 1/8" thick. I have compared the sou... | |
| Recommendation on MC cartidge and Phono Preamp Ditto on the Herron. Really extraordinary. | |
| Herron VTPH-2 12ax7 Recommendations? I've spoken with Keith about this several times and he has respectfully and gently discouraged tube rolling. He has a particular sound he is after which is achieved with the stock tubes and he is also very practical in his pursuit of hi fi so does... | |
| ARC LS27 vs ModWright LS36.5 for Pass Labs XA160.5's? Well, not exactly what you are asking but....I've owned both MWI 36.5 and an ARC LS26, running them with both MWI and ARC amplification. Both are excellent. Between the two I favored the MWI for sound and the ARC for features and ergonomics. They ... |
