| Herron VTPH-2 Curb;Glad you are enjoying the Herron. Based on the posts, reviews and talking to Keith I decided to buy one a few months ago and got to compare it with my Whest PS.30 before I sold it. First off, I'd like to second your comment about working with... | |
| Whest PS.30RDT vs Herron VTPH-2 vs Modwright 9.0SE Well, I answered my own question to the best of my ability. While I was unable to hear the Modwright I did manage to run the Herron and the Whest PS.30 head to head and here is what I found--that there is really no contest here. The Herron is ever... | |
| Whest PS.30RDT vs Herron VTPH-2 vs Modwright 9.0SE Dcarol:Have you had the chance to compare thet RDT or SE version of the Whest to the Modwright and the Herron in the same system? Just wondering how you have come to the conclusion that the other units would be "a downgrade". | |
| Proac D25 I had this in my system for a while using Audio Research electronics. Good midband (not great, the Harbeth Compact 7 is better), decent treble (slightly dry with a little hardness in the upper midrange) and deep but not very articulate bass. The b... | |
| VPI Scout II questions I would second the AT OC9MLII--I've been using one for the past few weeks in my Scout and am very impressed by the sound. I've run Dyna 20XH, 20XM and XX2MkII in the same table but not in a straight comparison with the OC9 since other equipment ca... | |
| Turntable/cartridge/tonearm suggestions One thing you may want to investigate is whether you Linn is properly "tuned". It may be that your disappointment with the table can be cured by having the dealer check the setup, which can go "out" over time. Also, you say that the Linn "looks" o... | |
| Modwright LS 36.5 or BAT VK-51SE I'll second Horseface's post--no experience with BAT but Dan has been a joy to deal with, his gear is well made, looks great and sounds fantastic. | |
| Herron VTPH-2 Just what I am looking for--thanks guys. I want to try tubes BUT want it to be super quiet and very neutral, which just a hint of bloom and dimensionality that tubes often bring. Sounds like the Herron is the ticket. As to the styling, I actually ... | |
| Dynavector 10X5 v. AT OC9 Thanks, guys. I'm now trying to locate a good deal on an AT OC9 or Dyna 20XL, either of which should do the trick. My preference is for the OC9 since I had a 20XM for a while and would like to try something different. | |
| Dynavector 10X5 v. AT OC9 Thanks, guys. Stanwal...did you run the OC9 in the Scout? I know VPI likes the Dyna's as a match to the JMW9 but am wondering how the weight and compliance of the OC9 will mate in this arm. | |
| Scout Bearing Lubrication Thanks, guys. I found some lithium grease (brown, not white) in the garage and put a little on the ball and shaft. Spins nicely! | |
| Scout Bearing Lubrication Thanks, guys. Should I put some on the shaft as well? | |
| Moscode 402AU vs Modwright KWA-150 I'll be taking delivery on a KWA-150 next week. It will be driving my DA-1.1's which have been outfitted with the AP crossover. Very interested to hear how this paring will sound! Michael--did you get the new speaks yet? | |
| Speaker cabinet made of real wood Jdoris:I'll be moving my DA-1.1's into a smaller space having moved recently--they are on their way back from Lou who performed the "All Poly" crossover upgrade while we were packing and moving. Previously I had the speakers in a 23L X 14W X 9H sp... | |
| New Lyra Delos Cartridge Audiofeil:I'd appreciate your comments on the comparison between the Delos and the Kleos. What are the design similarities and differences between these cartridges? Price points? |
