| Supply chain affecting anyone? …oh, and I forgot—ammunition. Few days ago I tried my normal online outlets for ammunition, everything from large chains (Cabellas) to small online-only suppliers. What I needed was NOwhere to be found. And I looked everywhere. Best u can ... | |
| Supply chain affecting anyone? It’s not just parts & electronics….two local supermarkets have not had Boars Head cold cuts for months on end due to “supply chain issues”, just the crappy store brands. Certain store isles are almost always half empty now. Makes you wonde... | |

| Member Make Zero Sense “She traipse artist at luxury top flight circus and she come home with manly need and we just surface after 1 day and 1/2.”Just when I thought this post was done. Lmao. | |
| The Most Cost Effective Tweak Reiterating a few posts above, but 2 of the simplest in my experience involve (1) room treatments and (2) speaker placement. Jim | |
| I'm a Dummy, Tell Me About Turntable Mats A little off-topic, but I always found it interesting (curious??) that VPI does not endorse TT mats on their tables. Last table I bought shipped without one; when I reached out to them for one, they kind of tried to “talk me out of” needing one.... | |
| Member Make Zero Sense Tube-buffer-guy….Your posts always give me a big smile; don’t change a bit, you keep being you ;-).[My theory is that tubebuffer is actually an English professor at some U.S. university, and the grammar and phrasing in his posts are just him havin... | |
| What phono preamp are you using? Herron VTPH-2AParasound JC3 Jr.Vincent PHO-8 (as emergency backup)No Soundsmith cart., unfortunately. Ortofon Quintet on VPI Scout T/T.-Jim | |

| Phono Stage, How much do I need to spend, New or used. +1, Herron VTPH-2Aif it’s above your $$ limit, look at the Parasound JC3 Jr., it’s little less than half the cost of the Herron. | |
| Looking for a new phono preamp Ditto on the Herron. I have both the VTPH-2A and the Parasound JC3+....I prefer the Herron but you won’t go wrong with either. — Jim | |
| Used phono preamp options - feedback requested P.S. I also own the Parasound JC 3 Jr., but I’d rank the Herron 1st and the Parasound close 2nd. But you’ll only know what’s best for you after listening to both. | |
| Used phono preamp options - feedback requested +++ Herron VTPH-2. He’s very responsive and accessible, keep trying. | |
| Why is black so popular for components? My Herron VTPH-2A phono preamp is silver. Also comes in titanium gray. | |
| High end stereo preamps? Worth it? How about the Benchmark (LA4)? I didn’t see it on anyone’s list above, but I have heard a few good things about it personally. Just asking for opinions, I have no horse in this race.— Jim |
