| Parts for an Arcam DV 139? Yes, jafant, I do own an Esoteric DV60, but due to wild weather where I live, sometimes there are problems with power surges. One such event took away its ability to play multi-channel discs, so I bought a used Arcam, which sounds very good, but i... | |
| Herron Audio VTPH-2A - Modwright PH 9.0X - Icon audio ps1 mkii Hi, I bought the Herron VTSP 3A/360 preamplifier that was on sale here on A'gon. I had no idea that I was going to buy a preamp, as I have a nice Modwright Line Stage that I thought was pretty darned good. Now that I've been using the Herron for... | |
| Adding a Herron VTSP 3A/360 Preamplifier to the system. Gentlemen, I am totally transfixed by how music sounds here at home now. I guess my snap decision was a good one, actually way beyond good. It's brought my system to what I was hoping for all along. It only took me 50 years, but I'm sure happy no... | |
| Preamp recommendations for my system please Since it's not balanced, I can't recommend what I just acquired, a Herron VTSP 3A/360 preamp. As far as what a good preamp can do, don't hesitate, the results will shock you with a positve improvement in your daily listening. Regards, Dan | |

| Speakers for a Large Room (20’x37’) Doni, My room is 16'6/' X 34 with cathedral ceiling. I use custom built Tannoys using HPD 315 drivers. I only sit about 9' from the speakers. They really work well for me. You can see for yourself in Done For Now, under the name of "The Summit... | |
| Adding a Herron VTSP 3A/360 Preamplifier to the system. I installed the new batteries in the remote last night. All issues resolved. Listened to Canadian Brass Gabrielli last night. Magincal. I'm in love with the VTSP 3A/360 | |
| Adding a Herron VTSP 3A/360 Preamplifier to the system. Yeah guys, hard one to figure out. Maybe it'll keep me walking for another few years. But the mind and ears get to rejoice anyway, though,right? Regards, Dan | |
| Adding a Herron VTSP 3A/360 Preamplifier to the system. Well, Gentlemen, the VTSP 3A/360 arrived on Saturday. It took me all weekend for my 74 YOA stroke-affected body/mind to get it installed (and the twice as heavy Modwright packaged up and put away), but on Monday night I got to listen to it. I was... | |
| Buying the right tool (aka gear) the first time... I've found over many years, if you don't do, you don't learn. It took me fifty years to get the system I have now. If you don't have deep pockets (such as myself) it's a bit harder to finally end up with a system you really love. It can be done, ... | |
| 10 Inch Tonearms Even Micheal Fremer says there is very little differrence between a 12'" and a 9" arm in how well they can sound, as long as they are a high quality arm to begin with. Just enjoy what you have, unless it makes you unhappy.If so, upgrade to whateve... | |
| I did the right thing after all. While I don't agree with your choice of speakers, I do love Ronnie Earl through my big old custom Tannoys.It doesn't matter what you listen with, all that matters is they do what you need them to do. Enjoy!Regards,Dan | |
| Adding a Herron VTSP 3A/360 Preamplifier to the system. I've been using my custom built Tannoy HPD 315 speakers for years now, firsst with solid state, with which they sounded very good.I switched to tube amps quite a few years ago now, and with my latest amp purchase, the 3C24 amp built for me by Pau... | |
