Herron VTPH-2A or Manley Chinook mk II phonostage
Audition_Audio, the Zesto has a very high output impedance compared to the Herron. Zesto: 10k ohms. Herron: 400 ohms (or 500 depending on the tube choice). That may be an issue depending on the input impedance of OP’s preamp. I believe I’ve read y... 
MM Cartridge Talk
I currently use a 2M Black and like it a lot but want to hear what other people are using and why they like what they’ve got. No website has everything and the number of good sites shrinks every year. It makes it hard to know what options are out ... 
Soundbar to subwoofer hookup
It’s an output jack. Currently it goes to the stock subwoofer which connects via 3.5mm 
Dual Subwoofer Placement
WOW! I really appreciate the detailed response. Unfortunately, I live in an apartment and don't have the space to go with four subs, my neighbors will already hate me having two. I was in the process of getting a house, and then setting up my equi... 
Dual Subwoofer Placement
To those asking about my setup, I will be setting up two Martin Logan 1100X subwoofers with a pair of Martin Logan ESL 9’s. I’m estimating my crossover will be around 60-80Hz. I have about 10’ from where the speakers and subwoofers will be placed ... 
Herron VTPH-2A vs ModWright PH 9.0
How do you think they compare as far as quality and sound? Do you tend to favor one company over another when looking for new equipment? 
Herron VTPH-2A vs ModWright PH 9.0
I have heard really good things about Herron, in fact I don't think I've heard a single negative. However, I have also seen the same with the ModWright. Truthfully, I am leaning more towards Herron but before pulling any trigger I was hoping to he... 
ModWright PH 9.0 vs Manley Chinook MkII
To those of you who have the ModWright PH 9.0, I noticed you can get it with XLR outs. Do you know if this is something that can be added after purchase, as an upgrade, or something you can only get if added during the original sale? 
ModWright PH 9.0 vs Manley Chinook MkII
I agree that the Manley Chinook should not require an additional SUT. I was simply trying to eliminate the ModWright's transformer as a factor on which performs better. 
2.2 Channel System Processor Suggestions
I have not done a balanced and unbalance comparison with the subs yet however I do know that I will be moving in the next year and that could change the current layout of my system. To prevent buyers remorse I would at the very least like the opti... 
2.2 Channel System Processor Suggestions
I don't have to use balanced connections to my subs but I would like to. The Martin Logan 1100X subs have a balanced input so it would be kind of silly to use them with unbalanced cables or with their wireless option. Ultimately I want the best pe... 
2.2 Channel System Processor Suggestions
I do have a smart tv but I’m certainly not opposed to adding a streaming device. The setup I’m looking for would include a ps4, cable box, (Apple TV), so at least 3 HDMI connects, and a Turntable with a phono pre. Additionally two speakers and two... 
2.2 Channel System Processor Suggestions
Some people have mentioned sending the sound separately to a preamp, or integrated amp, and simply connecting all video equipment straight to the tv. My next question would be, how do I send the signal from the tv to the preamp? It looks like my o... 
Turntable Advice Needed
As some have mentioned, I like VPI and Clearaudio, both make really good TT's. Right now I think I would go with the VPI Prime Scout. Upscaleaudio.com has a VPI Prime Scout with the upgraded 10.5" tonearm for $2.9k. A little outside your price ran...
