| Help with picking the right phono pre for the rest of my system please! On my iPhone so will be brief. Consider an AT ART 9 to acquire a $3K sound for $1K. Take what you saved on the cart and invest in a Herron Vtph-2. I think you will be VERY pleased. | |
| VPI Cartridge People: What next? I'll echo what a few have posted--if you are happy with the XX2 why make a change? Unless mistreated that cartridge should give you many years of service. If you are looking for a change what sonic attributes are you seeking? That may help guide t... | |
| Did anyone see the Adele concert from N.Y.C tonight Had never heard her until the show last night. I watched/listened to two songs. I don't get it....... | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... butch: I can't quite answer your questions but will offer this...I ran a Dyna XX2MKII in my Scout with a Whest 3.0 stage and then swapped that setup for the Herron VTPH-2 with an AT OC9MLII. It was an interesting move that showed me the importance... | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... Still breaking in....listened to MFSL "Teaser and the Firecat" recently. In the room with spooky body, texture and articulation. Nothing jumps out at you just supple, real and organic. My OC9MLII had a lot going for it but the ART 9 is just in a w... | |
| Headed to New Orleans At milkfish now and headed to Euclid tomorrow--thanks guys! | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... No coloration. None. That is what I am experiencing. Listened to some mono recordings recently--wow. The ART 9 seems to give you exactly what is in the grooves. Really enjoying this pickup....... | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... I'm nearing the 50 hour mark and can echo what has been posted by other folks--this is an exceptional cartridge and far superior to anything else I have tried in my VPI Scout. I am amazed at how even-handed, coherent and musically correct everythi... | |
| Any Herron VTPH-2 Phono Stage Owners out there? Again, really happy owner of a VTPH-2. Compared it to a Whest PS30R which I owned for some time and found the Herron to be as quiet and detailed but MUCH more musically correct. No experience with the Zesto but for the sake of clarity the Herron i... | |
| Modwright KWA 100SE or 150SE Alamandog:Saw your post here and the other one about the PH150. I have only heard the PH150 in show conditions so chose not to post on the other thread but I have owned a KWA150SE for several years now and have been extremely happy with the amp. P... | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... Got some time to listen this weekend and really heard the break in process unfold. Not sure if this has happened to anyone else before but this is the second time for me (the first was with my current speakers)--while listening (i.e. in the middle... | |
| Harbeth Super 5s vs 5+s I've heard both and agree with Pdreher. If your room will accommodate, I'd spend the extra money and upgrade to a used pair of Monitor 40s. No disrespect to the Super HL5's--a great speaker for sure. | |
| Audio stores in N. Virginia? I would recommend checking out Scott Dalzell at Viva HiFi in Vienna VA. Scott is passionate about audio and determined to help his clients get the best possible sound for their money. He carries a some well know brands like VPI but also lesser kno... | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... Got it dialed in on Saturday but only had time to listen to a few LPs. So far....Wow. Looking forward to how this evolves! | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... Arrived and will mount this weekend. I'll let you all know what happens.....What VTF are you guys using? |
