| Quality of Analogue Productions pressings Update: Just received three titles all QRP and played two of them (Soular Energy and Time Out both 45prm) yesterday. Dead quiet, flat and round. Actusreus: Overall, Acoustic Sounds return policy and customer service is phenomenal. They have bent o... | |
| Quality of Analogue Productions pressings I have purchased a number of QRP from Acoustic Sounds and, sadly, have had to return a number of them for a variety of reasons. Off center pressing, excessive groove noise, pops and ticks, ETC. It PAINED me to return them as I am a big fan of what... | |
| Does this speaker exist? I know in the past you have not been too impressed by the Daedalus offerings but Lou's now moved his designs to the next level with a "Version 2" designation. I haven't heard any models yet but hope to at CAF at the end of the month. His Athena wo... | |
| Need Help finding Speakers Budget 20,000 US I haven't heard them all but of those I've heard the speakers on your short list are all over the map sonically. We might be able to guide you better if you tell us what you are after sonically in addition to your music preferences. Have you audit... | |
| ARC vsi75 versus ARC reference 75 David: Having used a variety of ARC products with my Daedalus DA-1.1's I wonder if you have considered other potentially more synergistic matches. While I have not heard the ARC Ref 75 with the LS17 (or even separately) I am familiar with their ho... | |
| Audio Technica AT-OC9ML/II Questions As for matching compliance to your arm go to the Galen Carol Audio website--he has a nice, clearly written guide which has been of help to me in the past. (Sorry, I don't know how to do links on the A'gon). I use the OC9 on my Scout following the ... | |
| Herron VTPH-1 vs Allnic H1201 I have not heard the allnic but own the VTPh-2. It is a phenomenol phono stage that gets everything right. My last phono stage for sure--how often do you hear that--I have had mine for going on three years now and never think of upgrading. | |
| Speaker grills on or off? I have never owned a speaker that I could hear a difference one way or the other. I had Harbeth's and the manufacturer recommended they be left on so I did. The wood on my current speakers (Daedalus) is so darn pretty I sometimes take off the gril... | |
| Herron VTPH-2 Kclone:I could not figure out how to send you a PM on this god forsaken new Audiogon interface. As I am now using the Herron VTSP-3A with a Modwright KWA150SE I would be interested in hearing more about the impedance mismatch you experienced. If y... | |
| Janos Starker passed away 28 April Very strange thing happened to me--I sat down to listen to one of the Bach Cello Suites the other night and found his performance so compelling that I stayed up late into the evening and listened to all six straight through. Incredibly moving perf... | |
| Is the Harbeth M30.1 an upgrade from the C7ES? It would be helpful to know what aspects of the C7 you find lacking or would like to improve upon. I owned the C7 for many years and have heard the 30.1's. Relatively speaking, they are very similar sounding speakers (though I agree with the disti... | |
| VPI Scout/Scoutmaster cartridge recommendations My experience corresponds with Tswisla's. Set the VTF at playing level using a digital scale. I use rubber O rings over the stub of the arm to fine tune the tracking force once I have the azimuth set correctly. That obviates the need for the Sound... | |
| Herron VTPH-2 Phono Preamp Chuck;Using the Modwright KWA150SE with my Herron stuff upstream. The Modwright is easily the best sounding amp I have owned--very refined and musical to my ears. This is the amp that Lou recommends with my Daedalus speakers and I am glad he turne... | |
| Herron VTPH-2 Phono Preamp Noregrets, the two things to keep in mind are cartridge output and speaker sensitivity--let both of these drive your decision on the gain for your phonostage. | |
| Herron VTPH-2 Phono Preamp I am using a ATOC9MLII. I don't recall the output but I am using the tube set in my Herron for low gain--mostly because I have very high efficiency speakers. |
