New Von Schweikert VR 33?
Sorry man, I'm not a message board warrior. I never went off on your opinion in the first place. I questioned it just like others, but I never said you were wrong about it or anything as I understand this hobby is purely subjective. Now I make a l... 
New Von Schweikert VR 33?
Chadnliz, what is up with that? I'm not trying to get into the a pissing match. I'm sure you could care less, and most of us could care less for your opinion at this point too. The fact that you responded to my post the way you did say a lot about... 
What preamp & power amp to buy?
I compered the Herron VTSP 3a preamp directly with a Red Wine Audio Isabella and an Audio Research REF 5. All 3 were great, but Of course I ended up with the Herron. If the Herron amps are as good as the pre, then Wig may have a valid observation. 
New Von Schweikert VR 33?
Yeah, lets get thing on track. The VR 33 is VSA's best selling speaker. According to Albert, on one pair was returned after the audition period. So there must be a lot of happy owners out there. 
What preamp & power amp to buy?
sometimes I wonder why I don't just the matching Herron M1s to go with the VTSP 3a. I like trying different amps, but I am curious on how the matching separates from Herron sound. Thats more power cords and IC's though. I don't have the funds at t...

What music should sound like? Maybe for some it is about what sounds good to their ears, even if it is not "right". In the audio game does "right" equal better when it comes to enjoyment? I listen to mostly rock and pop, and the VSA has done a bet...

"they are just plain and unremarkable". Wow. Have you heard them? I would say the Unifield 3s are pretty remarkable sounding and they look cool too. 
Buying a Tube Amplifier
Just my opinion, don't buy anything else. That Sim Audio Moon gear is outstanding with electric guitar. Of course it is good in other areas too. You will notice the trade offs. I have had a lot of amps and integrated's and if you have speakers tha... 
Your best ''outstanding'' products in last 5 yrs?
Value purchases.Fritz Carbon 7 speakers tops my list.Herron VTSP 3a preamp may seem expensive, but it is actually a value based on performance with some more expensive stuff I have tried. 
Fritz Carbon 7 vs. Tyler Linbrook Sig. Monitor
The Carbon 7s on not boring to my ears, not at all. I'm a huge fan boy of the Carbon 7s. I think what he means is they are easy on the ears. You can listen without the fatigue. They are not shouty at all, but they still have PRAT. It is shocking h... 
Integrated SS amps - Luxman vs. Simaudio Moon?
Hi Bodiezaffa. Are you going to Luxman seperates or something else? 
Integrated SS amps - Luxman vs. Simaudio Moon?
I have the 507u. Like it a lot so far. Is what happened in Japan perhaps the hold up with getting the 509u? 
Herron VTSP-3A
Hey guys. How about the AC Polarity switch? Do you mess with is much to see if it sounds better in the A or B position? 
Preamp suggestions
If you want to wait and maybe save up some more money, the Herron VTSP 3a would be a great choice. I suggest giving Keith a call if there is any interest on your part. No affiliation or anything, just a huge fan boy of his pre. 
Luxman or Leben with Devore?
Oh okay. I had only been to the solid state part of the website. I should have done a search before I posted. Thanks. The last time I heard anything from the Luxman line was 1982. So really, I don't have any experience with them but I bet you are ...
